According to polls conducted last week, people are not completely sold on the Poco X4 GT and Poco F4. Let's examine more closely what worked and what didn't with these two.
The polls suggest that the Poco X4 GT will receive a slightly better response. The lack of official plans to launch it in India, which has historically been a significant market for Poco, is one factor that reduced its appeal. The Redmi Note 11T Pro, on which the X4 GT is based, is also unavailable in India (the non-Pro 11T is, but it's not on the same level).
Naturally, there were some arguments in the comments praising the decision to use an LCD rather than an AMOLED and some ridiculing it. People who were unhappy with the stability of the software that Poco phones run came up with a more frequent complaint.
In fact, the Poco F4 debuted in India (and other markets). More people who are considering purchasing the model intend to do so when the base price is reduced to €350/$24,000 during the early bird sales. That represents a saving of €50/€4,000. Comparatively speaking, the X4 GT received a larger €80 discount, but even so, the majority of those interested in one choose to wait for reviews.
The F4 was subject to a straightforward criticism: It offers little improvement over the F3. However, the phone only offers a better camera (64MP with OIS vs. 48MP) and quicker battery charging (0-100 percent in 38 minutes vs. 52 minutes).
The Poco F4 is off to a great start in India, even if it didn't persuade everyone — retailer Flipkart called it the "fastest selling flagship." Although we don't entirely agree with the "flagship" label and would have preferred to see some specific sales figures, this is still a positive development for the F4.
