‘A tribute to fans’: Poco on the logic behind Poco F3 GT’s mad reverse pricing and comparisons with OnePlus Nord 2

It’s been a long time coming, but Poco is finally launching a “proper” F-series phone in India. The phone, which is called the Poco F3 GT is, in many ways, the first true successor to the F1 from 2018. Needless to say, it will have some big shoes to fill. “As time has progressed, the F1 has taken more and more of a legendary kind of a status,” Poco India country director, Anuj Sharma tells Financial Express Online. “It will be hard to fill those shoes, but I hope we’ve given something to at least the Poco fans who have been waiting for a long time and made their wait worthwhile.”

Looking at the Poco F3 GT, and everything that it is bringing to the table, it seems Poco has its work cut out. The F1, despite its cult status, was far from being perfect. It had a wonky design and terrible cameras. The thing couldn’t even stream Netflix in high definition initially. And yet, here we are, three years later, talking fondly about it. “There are not too many compromises in the F3 GT now versus what used to be or what was the case with the F1,” Sharma says.
