Poco X4 GT

A Dimensity 8100 chipset built on a 5nm process gives this phone enough muscle for gaming, paired with a Mali-G610 MC6 GPU that keeps frame rates steady. The 6.6-inch IPS LCD runs at 144Hz and adds HDR10 plus Dolby Vision, which is a rare combo at this price point. Poco X4 GT price in Malaysia starts from RM1099, and that gets you 8GB RAM with 128GB storage, though there's no expandable storage option.

Battery life comes from a 5080mAh cell, and 67W fast charging means a full charge in around 46 minutes according to Xiaomi's own figures. On the camera side, there's a 64MP main sensor with PDAF, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens on the back, while the front houses a 20MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

Other details worth knowing: stereo speakers, a 3.5mm jack with 24-bit/192kHz audio support, Bluetooth 5.3, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It ships with Android 12 under MIUI 13 for Poco, and comes in Black, Blue, or Silver.
