The POCO X3 GT 5G is now official. And it looks like we have another candidate for the most affordable 5G phone, decked with top-end specs.
In the Philippines, you can grab the 8GB + 128GB for Php 15,990, while the 8GB + 256GB can be yours for Php 17,990. Not bad if you ask me. These will be exclusively sold on Lazada.
On August 3 and August 10, the phones will come with an early bird price of Php 14,990 and Php 15,990, respectively.
When I said the phone is decked, I do mean the phone is decked. The POCO X3 GT is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1100 5G chipset with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The processor has four Cortex A78 cores with speeds up to 2.6GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores up to 2GHz.
