Poco F9 Pro & F9 Ultra Specs Leak — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 200MP Camera

Last updated: August 2026

Important: Everything below comes from leaks and certification listings. Poco has not officially confirmed the F9 series, its specifications, or a launch date. Treat these details as unconfirmed until the company announces them.

Poco's next flagship duo is taking shape. A substantial leak has now revealed detailed specifications, official-looking renders, and European pricing for the Poco F9 Pro and Poco F9 Ultra — the successors to the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra. Both have also appeared on multiple certification databases, which usually signals a launch is drawing close.

Rebranded Redmi K100 Series

As widely expected, the Poco F9 Pro appears to be a rebranded Redmi K100 Pro, while the F9 Ultra looks to be a rebadged Redmi K100 Pro Max — both of which recently debuted in China. This has been Poco's playbook for several generations, bringing Redmi's China-market flagships to global buyers under the Poco name.

Poco F9 Pro: Expected Specifications

• Display: 6.59-inch AMOLED, 1156 x 2510 resolution, 185Hz refresh rate, up to 4,500 nits peak brightness
• Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
• Memory: 12GB or 16GB RAM, 256GB or 512GB storage
• Cameras: 200MP main with OIS, 50MP telephoto (2.5x optical), 8MP ultrawide, 32MP selfie
• Battery: 6,330mAh with 100W fast charging

Poco F9 Ultra: Expected Specifications

• Display: 6.9-inch AMOLED, 1200 x 2608 resolution, 185Hz refresh rate, up to 4,500 nits peak brightness
• Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
• Memory: Up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage
• Cameras: 200MP main, 50MP periscope telephoto (5x optical), 50MP ultrawide, 32MP selfie
• Battery: 8,050mAh with 100W fast charging
• Extra: An LED notification ring on the rear

The Battery Story: Smaller Than Redmi

The most discussed detail from the leak is battery capacity. Both Poco models are tipped to carry noticeably smaller batteries than the Redmi phones they are based on:

• Poco F9 Pro: 6,330mAh vs Redmi K100 Pro's 8,580mAh
• Poco F9 Ultra: 8,050mAh vs Redmi K100 Pro Max's 9,070mAh

The Ultra's reduction is modest, and 8,050mAh remains exceptionally large for a flagship. The F9 Pro's drop is far more significant, though — a difference of over 2,000mAh. Whether that translates into meaningfully shorter real-world endurance is the key question buyers will want answered at launch. Both models are still expected to retain 100W wired fast charging.

Build & Design

According to the leak, both phones share a metal frame with a fibreglass-reinforced plastic back and Gorilla Glass 7i screen protection. Both are expected to carry IP69 certification for dust and water resistance, and both are said to include Bose-tuned speakers. Colour options in Europe are tipped to include black, white, green, and red.

Expected Pricing & Launch

European pricing is rumoured at around €799 for the F9 Pro (12GB + 256GB) and €999 for the F9 Ultra (16GB + 512GB). It is worth noting the original source phrased these as "at least" figures, which suggests they may be estimates rather than firm leaked pricing.

No launch date has been confirmed. Given the certification activity, a global unveiling in the coming weeks or by September looks plausible. India pricing and availability remain unannounced.
