The Poco F9 series appears to be getting closer to its launch with the Poco F9 Ultra and Poco F9 Pro. The two smartphones have appeared on Singapore’s IMDA and Indonesia’s SDPPI databases recently, which suggests their global debut could happen within the next few months.
As multiple reports have already confirmed, the upcoming Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro are expected to be rebranded versions of the Redmi K100 Pro Max and Redmi K100 Pro, respectively. Both models have recently launched in China and you would expect the same hardware on the upcoming Poco phones as well. However, a new leak suggests that Poco could make some significant changes to the battery capacities of the two phones.
Poco F9 Ultra, F9 Pro Battery Specs
According to reliable tipster Kacper Skrzypek (via Ximitime), details found in the HyperOS code reveal the battery capacities and charging capabilities of the upcoming Poco phones.
The Poco F9 Ultra is reportedly set to feature an 8,050mAh battery, while the Poco F9 Pro could pack a 6,330mAh battery.
These capacities are notably different from those of their expected Redmi counterparts. The Redmi K100 Pro Max comes with a much larger 9,070mAh battery, while the Redmi K100 Pro features an 8,580mAh battery.
Despite the difference in battery capacities, the charging speeds are expected to remain unchanged. Both Poco models are tipped to support 100W fast charging and match the charging capabilities of the corresponding Redmi smartphones.
Other than this, the two phones are expected to retain most of the hardware specifications found on their Redmi counterparts.
Poco F9 Ultra, F9 Pro Expected Specifications
The Poco F9 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.9-inch AMOLED display, while the Poco F9 Pro could come with a slightly smaller 6.59-inch screen. Both smartphones are tipped to offer a 1.5K resolution and a high 185Hz refresh rate, which could make them particularly appealing to users looking for a gaming-focused display.
Under the hood, both models are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chipset. They could be offered with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and as much as 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
For selfies and video calls, the Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro are expected to feature a 32-megapixel front camera. The primary camera on both phones could be a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor.
The camera setups are expected to differ beyond the main sensor. The Poco F9 Ultra may feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Meanwhile, the Poco F9 Pro could have an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera paired with a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera offering 2.5x optical zoom.
More details about the two upcoming Poco smartphones are likely to come out before their expected launch in the coming months.
