“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 POCO F9 Series, with its flagship dual-chip architecture raising the performance bar for all-round flagships. Both devices are built on Qualcomm’s latest flagship mobile platforms, delivering unmatched performance and speed 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 delivers an impressive AnTuTu score of 4,165,108¹—the highest ever recorded on a POCO smartphone. Taking charge of visual processing, for the first time in F Series, both models pair their flagship processors with the dedicated VisionBoost D8 chipset, enabling Smart frame rate² at up to an industry-leading 185FPS.³ Moreover, Smart frame rate² and AI Super resolution⁴ can run simultaneously, delivering smoother motion and sharper detail for a more lifelike gaming experience. POCO F9 Ultra also features ultra storage up to 1TB,⁵ providing ample space for all the games, apps, and media content without compromise.
Beyond hardware, POCO F9 Series integrates WildBoost Engine to further elevate the gaming experience. A standout capability is support for gaming at an ultra-high 185FPS.³ Compared with 120FPS, it delivers 65 more frames per second, and a refresh interval shortened by 3ms, allowing users to spot enemies earlier and react faster. This extreme fluidity is available natively across over 20 titles,⁶ while 5 additional games can reach 185FPS³ through Smart frame rate². Complementing this, Game Color Enhancement⁷ further enables precise tuning of game visuals for vivid graphics and enhanced scene details. Matching these visuals, a 4,800Hz instant touch sampling rate,⁸ 480Hz 10-point touch sampling rate,⁹ and an ultra-high 200Hz gyro sampling rate¹⁰ translate every tap, swipe, and tilt into fast, precise control.
POCO 3D IceLoop cooling system rounds out the performance experience, helping the entire lineup remain smooth and stable for longer—even during demanding gaming sessions.

Immersive Visuals, Refined by Design
POCO F9 Series features ultra-high 185Hz POCO HyperRGB AMOLED displays,¹¹ delivering exceptionally fluid visuals across various scenarios. POCO F9 Ultra opens up the experience on an expansive 6.9-inch screen,¹² while POCO F9 Pro packs the same flagship display technology into a more compact 6.59-inch form factor for comfortable handling. At the heart of both displays is POCO HyperRGB technology. Its full RGB subpixel structure makes full use of every red, green, and blue subpixel to deliver crisp, vibrant visuals comparable to a 2K display, while consuming less power. The lineup also marks the global debut of the new M11 luminescent material, enabling up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness across multiple scenarios and 10,000 nits for HDR content,¹³ bringing dazzling highlights, deeper contrast, and finer detail to every scene.

Comfort matters as much as clarity. POCO F9 Series introduces Xiaomi Vision Care, POCO’s first comprehensive eye care solution, achieving TÜV Rheinland Quadruple Eye Care certification.¹⁴ Whether it’s a long reading session, back-to-back videos, or a late-night scroll, POCO F9 Series helps to ease eye fatigue.
Both models embrace a refined, premium design language with a sophisticated look and feel. POCO F9 Ultra introduces a dynamic light on the back, offering personalized effects for incoming calls, notifications, gaming, and music, while giving the device a distinctive visual signature. POCO F9 Pro brings POCO’s first full-panel luminous design¹⁵ to the Aurora Green variant, producing a soft, even glow in darkness after exposure to sunlight or indoor lighting,¹⁶ and allowing users to create their own luminous patterns with a blue-violet laser pointer¹⁷.

Sound by Bose Technology: Deepening the Partnership for Premium Mobile Acoustics
POCO F9 Series takes the premium audio experience further through state-of-the-art hardware and software, as well as 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 to create a true 2.1-channel audio experience,¹⁸ delivering a more stable sound image, deeper bass, and a wider soundstage.¹⁹ Alternatively, POCO F9 Pro features dual symmetrical 1115F super-linear stereo speakers paired with a Sealed Cavity Design,¹⁸ producing rich midrange, crisp high frequencies, and finely rendered detail across the full frequency range.
Beyond hardware, two professionally tuned sound profiles are available across the lineup, offering distinct listening experiences: “Dynamic” for authentic and full bass character, and “Balanced” for overall balanced and pure vocals. Furthermore, Sound by Bose powered tuning delivers detailed sound at low volumes and distortion-free sound at high volumes, restoring an authentic listening experience at every volume level.
This collaboration also brings a new mobile gaming experience to both devices with the all-new Game audio mode.²⁰ It increases footstep loudness for clearer directional awareness, while retaining the layered detail of gunfire, voices, and other in-game effects. As a result, players can identify critical audio cues more easily, pinpoint their direction more accurately, and stay fully immersed in the game.
Ultra Battery Capacity Meets Full-Speed HyperCharge
POCO F9 Series delivers exceptional real-world endurance engineered for power users. POCO F9 Ultra features the largest battery ever in the POCO F Series—an 8,050mAh (typ) battery with 16% silicon-carbon content that ensures high energy density in a streamlined form factor, providing reliable 2-day battery life.²¹ POCO F9 Pro houses a substantial 6,330mAh (typ) battery, ensuring all-day battery life while maintaining a compact profile.
The versatile HyperCharge system combines 100W wired²² and 50W wireless HyperCharge²³ across the entire lineup, delivering rapid power recovery. Both models also support industry-leading 27W wired and 22.5W wireless reverse charging,²⁴ turning the phone into a convenient power source for other devices.

POCO’s First 200MP Ultra-Clear Imaging with Flagship Versatility
Taking a major step forward in imaging, POCO F9 Series introduces POCO’s first-ever 200MP ultra-clear camera system, equipped with OIS across both models. A dedicated 200MP mode captures exceptional detail, unlocking greater creative freedom in cropping, reframing, and post-capture editing. Complementing the rear setup, a crisp 32MP front camera ensures every self-portrait remains sharp and refined.
