Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Poco X4 GT should be supported until around June 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -1.0 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Frequently asked questions

Is the Poco X4 GT good for gaming?

Yes. Its MediaTek Dimensity 8100 is a near-flagship chip and, paired with the 144Hz display, it handles demanding games very well.

Does the Poco X4 GT have an AMOLED screen?

No. It uses a 6.6-inch FHD+ 144Hz IPS LCD rather than AMOLED, a trade-off for its high refresh rate and performance focus.

How fast does the Poco X4 GT charge?

It supports 67W wired charging, which fills its 5080mAh battery in roughly 45 minutes.
