Poco launched two new flagship phones that share a design and many features but differ in chipset, cameras, battery, and top-end memory and storage options. The Ultra targets maximum performance and longer runtime; the Pro is a smaller, slightly cheaper alternative.
Both phones have 185Hz AMOLED displays and a 200MP main camera, but the Ultra adds a 5x periscope and a higher-quality ultrawide.
Both phones support 100W wired, 50W wireless, 22.5W reverse wireless charging, IP68, HyperOS 3 on Android 16, and four promised OS updates.
# Overview Poco announced the F9 Pro and F9 Ultra as its latest flagship pair. The two models look and feel similar, but Poco split the differences where it matters: chipset performance, camera modules, battery capacity, and maximum RAM/storage.
# Core hardware and performance Both devices use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 family silicon, but different variants. The F9 Ultra ships with the full Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 that has been powering Android flagships over the past year. The F9 Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Series (SM8850-1-AB), which Qualcomm documents show has one fewer GPU slice in the Adreno 840 GPU. Expect the Ultra to outperform the Pro in GPU-heavy tasks and games.
Memory and storage options reflect that positioning. The F9 Ultra is configurable up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The F9 Pro tops out at 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
# Display and design
# Cameras Both models share a 200MP main camera using a 1/1.56-inch sensor. The camera lineups diverge on secondary optics:
These differences make the Ultra the better choice for long-range shots and higher-resolution ultrawide photos.
# Battery and charging Poco sized the batteries very differently. The F9 Ultra carries an 8,050mAh silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery. The F9 Pro is fitted with a 6,330mAh cell. Both models support 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 22.5W reverse wireless charging, so charging speeds match despite different capacities.
# Software and durability Both phones launch with Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 based on Android 16. Poco promises four major updates. Both devices have IP68 dust and water resistance.
# Pricing and configurations
Higher-capacity Ultra configurations go up to $1,199 / €1,399.99 for the 16GB/1TB SKU with early-bird reductions offered on several tiers.
# How they compare in use Pick the F9 Ultra if you prioritize peak GPU performance, long battery life, and stronger camera versatility (periscope and higher-res ultrawide). Choose the F9 Pro if you want a smaller display, lower starting price, and still-top-tier flagship features such as the 200MP main sensor, 185Hz AMOLED display, and fast wired and wireless charging.
# Final practical points Both phones carry flagship-level specs and features but are positioned differently within Poco's lineup by performance, camera capability, and battery size. Early-bird pricing narrows the gap on initial cost for some configurations.
