Poco’s next flagship smartphones could be close to their European debut, with new leaked details revealing expected prices, designs and specifications for the Poco F9 Pro and Poco F9 Ultra. The brand has not officially confirmed either model yet.
The Poco F9 Pro is expected to be based on the Redmi K100 Pro, while the F9 Ultra could be based on the Redmi K100 Pro Max. The European versions are reportedly set to feature smaller batteries than their Chinese counterparts.
Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra pricing and design
The Poco F9 Pro could be priced at EUR 799 (roughly Rs. 88,000) in Germany for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. The Poco F9 Ultra is reportedly expected to cost EUR 999 (roughly Rs. 1,10,600) for the 16GB RAM + 512GB model.
Leaked renders show both phones in black, green, red and white colour options. They appear to feature a centrally placed punch-hole selfie camera, slim bezels, triple rear cameras and Bose branding. Their overall design also appears similar to the Redmi K100 series.
The Redmi K100 series was launched in China earlier this month with a starting price of CNY 3,999 (roughly Rs. 57,000). The Poco F9 models are therefore expected to share most specifications with their Chinese counterparts, apart from battery capacity.
The Poco F9 Pro could carry a 6,330mAh battery, while the F9 Ultra may pack an 8,050mAh cell. In comparison, the Redmi K100 Pro has an 8,580mAh battery, while the Redmi K100 Pro Max features a 9,070mAh battery.
Both Poco models are expected to run Android 16-based HyperOS 3. The Pro could use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, while the Ultra may feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Both could offer up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
The phones are also tipped to feature triple rear cameras led by a 200-megapixel main sensor and a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The F9 Pro could have a 6.59-inch AMOLED display, while the F9 Ultra may feature a 6.9-inch AMOLED panel. Both displays could support up to 185Hz refresh rates and 4,500 nits peak brightness, with Gorilla Glass 7i protection. Bose-tuned speakers and IP69-rated protection are also expected.
