Xiaomi Poco F3 GT is one of the latest smartphones that has been launched in July 2021. It comes with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G SoC that supposed to be one of the best-in-class gaming chipsets, paired with the Mali-G77 MC9 GPU. While the handset runs on Android 11 out of the box. Now, some of the interested users are asking whether there will be a Custom ROM for Xiaomi Poco F3 GT or not anytime soon.
Although MediaTek Dimensity 1200 delivers an excellent performance in day to day usage and during gameplay for hours (thanks to dedicated trigger buttons), in some aspects the device loses badly such as lackluster camera quality, average software experience, slightly on the heavier side that may not come in handy while longer gameplay sessions, more than average audio quality, etc.
So, you may ask why there is no custom firmware available yet for the Poco F3 GT Edition or Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. Well, the same question has been asked hundred times on multiple online forums such as XDA Developers and the answer is surprising a bit. So, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into the topic.
Xiaomi Poco F3 GT Device Overview:
The Poco F3 GT, launched in July 2021, was built with gaming clearly in mind. It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, protected by Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back. The standout hardware touch is the physical pop-up gaming triggers, which give it a console-like feel for shooters and racing games.
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 (6nm) chipset with UFS 3.1 storage, the phone delivered flagship-level performance for its time, handling heavy gaming and multitasking smoothly under MIUI for POCO based on Android 11.
In daily use, the F3 GT still holds up decently thanks to its solid AMOLED panel, stereo speakers tuned by JBL, and reliable performance. The 64MP triple camera setup is serviceable for casual photography, though not a strong point compared to camera-focused phones.
Battery life is a highlight, with a 5065mAh battery and 67W fast charging that can fully charge the phone in around 42 minutes. Overall, the Poco F3 GT remains a well-remembered device for gamers, especially for those who value physical triggers, fast charging, and a premium gaming-oriented design over camera excellence.
Will There Be a Custom ROM for Xiaomi Poco F3 GT?
According to plenty of users, even though the AOSP development for the F3 GT will be slow enough or may not happen due to the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor, there should a dedicated forum page for this model.
While some are saying that the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 chipset has an open resource architecture so there would be no issues at all in terms of the chipset-specific device. Whereas some are assuming that even the XDA Developers team hasn’t allocated the Poco F3 GT forum yet that means there will be no hope for the Custom ROM development of this device.
To be precise, there is no connection between a custom firmware development and a dedicated forum for the device model. Whereas there are plenty of device models available that don’t have any dedicated forum page on XDA but their custom ROM has been available.
But it seems that plenty of Poco F3 GT users are literally requesting over and over again to create a new forum for it individually to the XDA Developers team for a while. We should mention that the Xiaomi Poco F3 GT and OnePlus NORD 2 are one of the hyped smartphones in the Q2-Q3 2021 most probably.
Meanwhile, multiple interested mobile gamers as well as Poco fans have purchased the Poco F3 GT. Needless to say that it’s still one of the popular devices in the mid-budget segment for those who want powerpack performance on a less budget. Now, plenty of users are commenting on a new device forum requests page to add the particular smartphone forum separately. But somehow XDA hasn’t done it yet.
Luckily, there is a new device forum requests page available on the XDA Developers website where you can ask for adding the Poco F3 GT Forum by voting for it. Just click on the mentioned link and post your comment by only typing the device model (i,e; Poco F3 GT). It’s quite surprising that even the Poco F3 GT has become open source, there is no Custom ROM (Aftermarket Firmware) available yet.
Hopefully, XDA or other custom firmware developers will soon release a stable Custom ROM for the Xiaomi Poco F3 GT Edition. Till then, we’ll have to wait for it.
