Now, POCO India country director Anuj Sharma has toldIndia Todaythat the upcoming phone will retail for around Rs 30,000 (~$403). This could be a pretty competitive price tag in India, as the OnePlus Nord 2 is rumored to come inat Rs 31,999 (~$429).
Sharma also told the outlet that POCO was initially looking at an August or September launch but is now aiming to launch the POCO F3 GT this month.
The POCO F3 GT is indeed a rebadged Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. So that means Indian customers are getting a Dimensity 1200 flagship-level processor as well as retractable shoulder buttons for use in various games.
Poco’s upcoming phone is also expected to offer a 5,065mAh battery, 67W wired charging, a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED screen, and a triple rear camera system (64MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro).
