New details continue to emerge about the F9 series, which Poco is expected to introduce in the coming months. Poco F9 Ultra and Poco F9 Pro, which were previously seen on certification platforms such as IMDA in Singapore and SDPPI in Indonesia, are on the agenda this time with their battery capacities and charging features. According to the information found in the HyperOS codes, Poco F9 Ultra will have a battery with a capacity of 8050 mAh and F9 Pro will have a battery with a capacity of 6330 mAh. It is stated that both phones will offer 100W wired fast charging support. Thus, it appears that the battery capacity of Poco’s new models will be significantly reduced compared to the Redmi phones on which they are claimed to be based.
It is claimed that Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro will be versions of the Redmi K100 Pro Max and K100 Pro, which recently went on sale in China, adapted to global markets. However, Poco has changed some hardware features in the past while bringing Redmi models to different markets. According to the data detected in the HyperOS codes by Kacper Skrzypek, one of the reliable leak sources, this time the most striking difference will be on the battery side. In contrast to the 9070 mAh battery of the Redmi K100 Pro Max, the Poco F9 Ultra is expected to come with 8050 mAh. The 8580 mAh battery in the Redmi K100 Pro will decrease to 6330 mAh in the Poco F9 Pro; The difference, especially in the Pro model, can be significant in terms of daily usage time.
What will the Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro features be like?
Despite the change in battery capacity, a similar difference in charging speed is not expected. According to the leak, both Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro will be launched just like their Redmi counterparts. 100W fast charging will have support. Smaller battery capacities could theoretically help reduce full charge time, but actual charge times will also depend on factors such as the manufacturer’s power management, temperature control and charging curve. On the other hand, it is not yet known what effect the lower capacity will have on the weight or thickness of the phones. Since Poco has not made an official statement about the battery and charging features of the devices, it should be taken into consideration that this information obtained from HyperOS codes may change until the launch.
It is estimated that other technical features will remain largely the same as the Redmi models. Accordingly, Poco F9 Ultra 6.9 inch AMOLED screenPoco F9 Pro is more compact 6.59 inch screen is expected to carry. 1.5K resolution and 185 Hz refresh rate information is given for both panels. It is stated that the phones can benefit from a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V series chip on the processor side, and memory options can go up to 16 GB LPDDR5X. On the storage side, it is expected to have a UFS 4.1 option up to 1 TB; If these features are confirmed, both models will be positioned among Poco’s performance-oriented upper segment options.
There may be more significant differences between the two phones in the camera system. According to available information, on the front of Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro 32 megapixel selfie camera will take place. It is claimed that the main camera on the back will use the 200 megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor on both devices. It is stated that the F9 Ultra can add a 50 megapixel ultra wide-angle camera and a 50 megapixel periscope telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom. The F9 Pro is expected to have a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 2.5x optical zoom, as well as an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera; Therefore, the Ultra model can offer a more powerful camera package, especially in ultra wide angle and long-range zoom.
The emergence of IMDA and SDPPI records shows that the preparations for the Poco F9 family for markets outside China are continuing. However, certification records alone do not reveal the exact launch date, and Poco has not yet shared the official calendar for F9 Ultra and F9 Pro. Information at this stage indicates that the two phones may differ especially in terms of battery capacity, while largely preserving the basic hardware of the Redmi K100 series. While maintaining 100W charging support seems positive, the significant difference between the 6330 mAh capacity in the F9 Pro and the Redmi K100 Pro will make real usage tests more meaningful in terms of battery life. If the screen, processor and camera features are confirmed, the F9 Ultra with its more advanced camera system and larger battery, and the F9 Pro with its smaller screen, can create two different upper segment Poco options.
