On Friday afternoon, the Poco F3 GT was released in India to compete with the OnePlus Nord 2. The smartphone was released with a unique pricing plan that may seem perplexing to some, but is said to offer the greatest price to early adopters. Poco’s F3 GT is the company’s second smartphone in the F series, following the Poco F1 that was released over three years ago. The phone is a rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, which was released earlier this year in China.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor powers the Poco F3 GT, which also includes a triple rear camera module, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and gaming shoulder buttons. Along with the phone, Poco is including a 67W fast charger. Apart from the OnePlus Nord 2, the Poco F3 GT will fight with the Asus ROG series by offering a more inexpensive choice to gamers.
Poco F3 GT price in India
The Poco F3 GT price in India is Rs 26,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage option, Rs 28,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, and Rs 30,999 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. However, this is the phone’s true price, and consumers will be able to get it for significantly less for the first few days.
With the F3 GT, Poco has launched the Mad Reverse Pricing (MRP) concept, in which the phone would be sold for Rs 1,000 less in the first week (Till August 2, 2021). The phone will be available for Rs 500 less in the second week (from August 3 and August 9). After 12 p.m. on August 12, the phone will begin selling at the above-mentioned price. Pre-orders will begin on July 24, and the first sale will take place on July 26.
Customers will also receive an Rs 1,000 discount if they use their ICICI Bank credit or debit cards to make the purchase.
