If you’re using the Xiaomi Poco F3 GT (ares) device and want to enable root access via Magisk then this guide is for you. In this guide, we have shared with you the steps to Root Poco F3 GT using Magisk without TWRP in a very simple way for your ease.
In order to root your Xiaomi Poco F3 GT, we will use the Magisk to patch the stock boot image and flash that to your device’s boot partition. Now, if you ask why Magisk? It’s a system-less root process that doesn’t tamper with the system partitions while enabling root access. Magisk can also hide online security measures to work apps properly like any banking app, SafetyNet, etc.
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.
