POCO, a leading technology brand among young tech enthusiasts, has unveiled the POCO F9 Ultra and POCO F9 Pro, continuing the F Series’ legacy in the premium flagship smartphone market. The new POCO F9 Series introduces major technological upgrades focused on performance, gaming, display, imaging, battery life, and audio, positioning both smartphones as all-round flagship devices built for demanding users.
The POCO F9 Series combines flagship mobile platforms with dedicated visual processing technology, high refresh rate displays, advanced cooling, large battery capacities, rapid HyperCharge, and upgraded camera systems. During the launch, POCO also announced the next chapter of its partnership with Bose, a global leader in audio, bringing Sound by Bose technology to the new smartphones for clear, immersive, and high-quality mobile audio experiences.
“As POCO continues to strengthen its position in the premium flagship segment, we remain focused on challenging conventions through technologies and innovations,” said Kang Lou, Senior Product Marketing Manager and Spokesperson at POCO Global. “With POCO F9 Ultra, we’re delivering ultimate performance through cutting-edge technologies and gaming innovations, while POCO F9 Pro brings together flagship gaming power and a well-balanced, versatile experience for more users. Together, POCO F9 Series is designed to meet the expectations of a more demanding and diverse audience, delivering peak performance and exceptional value.”
Ultra Performance Unleashes 185FPS Gaming Dominance
Performance stands at the core of the POCO F9 Series, with its flagship dual-chip architecture designed to raise the performance standard for all-round flagship smartphones. Both POCO F9 Ultra and POCO F9 Pro use Qualcomm’s latest flagship mobile platforms, delivering speed and performance across intensive multitasking, demanding workloads, and gaming.
Leading the lineup, POCO F9 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform and achieves an impressive AnTuTu score of 4,165,108, the highest ever recorded on a POCO smartphone. For visual processing, both models pair their flagship processors with the dedicated VisionBoost D8 chipset, marking the first time the technology appears in the F Series.
The VisionBoost D8 chipset enables Smart frame rate of up to an industry-leading 185FPS. Smart frame rate can also operate simultaneously with AI Super resolution, helping deliver smoother motion and sharper details during gaming. POCO F9 Ultra further offers up to 1TB of ultra storage, giving users substantial space for games, applications, and media content.
The gaming-focused hardware is supported by the WildBoost Engine, which further enhances the experience. One of its key capabilities is gaming at up to 185FPS. Compared with 120FPS, the 185FPS experience provides 65 more frames per second and shortens the refresh interval by 3ms. This allows players to spot enemies earlier and react faster during gameplay.
The 185FPS experience is available natively across more than 20 titles, while five additional games can reach 185FPS through Smart frame rate. Game Color Enhancement also allows precise tuning of game visuals for vivid graphics and enhanced scene details.
Touch and motion controls receive similar attention. The POCO F9 Series features a 4,800Hz instant touch sampling rate, 480Hz 10-point touch sampling rate, and an ultra-high 200Hz gyro sampling rate. These technologies translate taps, swipes, and tilts into fast and precise controls.
The POCO 3D IceLoop cooling system completes the performance setup, helping the lineup maintain smooth and stable performance for longer, including during demanding gaming sessions.
Immersive Visuals, Refined by Design
The POCO F9 Series features ultra-high 185Hz POCO HyperRGB AMOLED displays designed to deliver fluid visuals across different scenarios. POCO F9 Ultra features a large 6.9-inch display, while POCO F9 Pro brings the same flagship display technology to a more compact 6.59-inch form factor.
At the center of the display experience is POCO HyperRGB technology. Its full RGB subpixel structure makes use of every red, green, and blue subpixel to produce crisp and vibrant visuals comparable to a 2K display while using less power.
The POCO F9 Series also marks the global debut of the new M11 luminescent material. The technology enables up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness across multiple scenarios and up to 10,000 nits for HDR content. This helps deliver bright highlights, deeper contrast, and finer detail across displayed content.
Display comfort also forms part of the F9 Series experience. POCO introduces Xiaomi Vision Care, its first comprehensive eye care solution, with TÜV Rheinland Quadruple Eye Care certification. The feature is designed to support users during extended reading sessions, back-to-back video viewing, and late-night scrolling while helping ease eye fatigue.
Both smartphones feature a refined premium design. POCO F9 Ultra adds a dynamic light on the rear panel with personalized effects for incoming calls, notifications, gaming, and music. The feature also gives the device a distinctive visual signature.
POCO F9 Pro introduces POCO’s first full-panel luminous design to the Aurora Green variant. The design produces a soft, even glow in darkness after exposure to sunlight or indoor lighting. Users can also create their own luminous patterns using a blue-violet laser pointer.
Sound by Bose Technology: Deepening the Partnership for Premium Mobile Acoustics
The POCO F9 Series extends its premium experience into mobile audio through hardware and software upgrades, along with joint acoustic tuning powered by Sound by Bose technology.
POCO F9 Ultra combines dual symmetrical 1115D master-grade stereo speakers with an ultra-large 1620 independent subwoofer. This setup creates a true 2.1-channel audio experience designed to deliver a more stable sound image, deeper bass, and a wider soundstage.
POCO F9 Pro uses dual symmetrical 1115F super-linear stereo speakers paired with a Sealed Cavity Design. The setup produces rich midrange, crisp high frequencies, and detailed sound across the full frequency range.
Both models also offer two professionally tuned sound profiles. “Dynamic” provides an authentic and full bass character, while “Balanced” delivers overall balanced and pure vocals. Sound by Bose powered tuning provides detailed sound at low volumes and distortion-free sound at high volumes, maintaining an authentic listening experience across different volume levels.
The partnership also introduces the all-new Game audio mode to both smartphones. The mode increases footstep loudness to improve directional awareness while retaining the layered details of gunfire, voices, and other in-game effects. This allows players to identify important audio cues more easily, determine their direction more accurately, and remain immersed in gameplay.
Ultra Battery Capacity Meets Full-Speed HyperCharge
The POCO F9 Series is designed to provide extended endurance for power users. POCO F9 Ultra features the largest battery ever offered in the POCO F Series, with an 8,050mAh (typ) capacity and 16% silicon-carbon content. The combination supports high energy density within a streamlined form factor and provides reliable 2-day battery life.
POCO F9 Pro features a 6,330mAh (typ) battery designed to provide all-day battery life while maintaining a compact profile.
Both smartphones support the HyperCharge system with 100W wired and 50W wireless HyperCharge across the lineup. The charging system is designed to provide rapid power recovery for users who need to replenish their devices quickly.
The POCO F9 Series also supports 27W wired and 22.5W wireless reverse charging. This allows the smartphones to function as a power source for other compatible devices.
POCO’s First 200MP Ultra-Clear Imaging with Flagship Versatility
The POCO F9 Series marks a major step forward in smartphone photography with POCO’s first-ever 200MP ultra-clear camera system. Both models feature OIS, while a dedicated 200MP mode provides detailed images and greater flexibility for cropping, reframing, and post-capture editing.
A 32MP front camera complements the rear camera system, providing sharp and refined results for self-portraits.
POCO F9 Ultra adds a flagship 5x periscope telephoto camera for long-range photography. The camera supports 10x lossless zoom and 20x AI Ultra Zoom, helping capture detailed and stable images across different shooting scenarios.
POCO F9 Pro instead features a 50MP 2.5x floating telephoto camera capable of focusing from as close as 10cm. This allows the camera to move from super macro close-ups to distant landscapes.
Across the POCO F9 Series, Live cinematography adds a cinematic approach to video creation. The feature supports 4K ultra HD capture, automated focal transitions, and fluid lens shifts, helping transform everyday moments into visual stories.
