US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat.

Poco F3 GT India launch happening today: Expected prices, variants and more

Poco has made us wait almost three years for a true successor to the original Poco F1 and that ends today.  The Poco F3 GT is launching in India today and will be Poco’s most premium offering ever since the brand separated from Xiaomi India. The company has built hype around it in the last few months and even revealed a couple of its features. Leaks have, however, revealed everything about the F3 GT.

Expected to be a renamed version of China’s Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, the Poco F3 GT will be the company’s foray into the dedicated gaming smartphone segment. This comes at a time when the banned PUBG Mobile returns to our shores as Battlegrounds Mobile India, which could benefit mobile gamers on a budget. And since it is a Poco device, you can expect some aggressive pricing.

If you are excited to see what Poco has in store for us (although the cat is out of the bag), we have compiled everything you need to know about it, including the launch event details.

Poco F3 GT launch event details

Similar to a couple of its last launch events, Poco will announce it officially via a virtual event. Poco will host the Poco F3 GT launch live on its YouTube channel. You can also keep an eye on their Twitter and Facebook channels for the latest updates, including the prices (the stuff that actually matters). The event will start at 12 pm, in case if you want to mark your calendar.

Based on a recent leak, the Poco F3 GT is expected to compete with the Xiaomi Mi 11X and the upcoming OnePlus Nord 2. The price for the base variant is said to be between Rs 28,999 to Rs 29,999; this one offers 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The higher-end variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage could cost less than Rs 32,999. These prices aren’t official though and hence, you should take these with a pinch of salt, as we do.
