Poco X3 GT announced with Gorilla Glass Victus display and Dimensity 1100 chipset

Last week Poco brought its F3 GT and now the brand is introducing another GT model dubbed Poco X3 GT. The new device is the international version of the China-exclusive Redmi Note 10 Pro though with a Poco badge in place of the Redmi branding.

IDC has released its quarterly analysis of the smartphone market in China, and the numbers are great for all major companies that are not named Huawei. According to the data, vivo has become the best-selling brand for Q2 2021, followed by Oppo, Xiaomi, Apple, and the now-independent Honor.
