POCO F3 GT specifications

Let us start with the most interesting feature of the POCO F3 GT, which as I mentioned earlier, is its magnetic levitation gaming triggers. The maglev triggers pop up from the frame of the smartphone by flicking the slider button located on the right-hand side of the device. These triggers can be used for playing games. The magnetic levitation gaming triggers should offer a better feel and response time compared to the on-screen controls. POCO says that these triggers don’t require any special integration into games. Once you are done playing games, you can flick the slider button and the maglev keys will go inside the frame.
