Poco has launched the F9 Pro globally alongside the F9 Ultra. The new model focuses on gaming, battery life, and display performance, while also introducing features such as wireless charging and a telephoto camera to the series.

Poco F9 Pro Specifications

It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Series (SM8850-1-AB) processor. The chip is built using a 3nm process and uses third-generation Qualcomm Oryon CPU cores, with a maximum clock speed of 4.6GHz. Poco is also including its VisionBoost D8 graphics chipset, which is designed to improve image quality and frame rates in supported games.

The VisionBoost system supports frame interpolation of up to 185 frames per second. It also includes features such as Game HDR and AI super resolution. These features are intended to make games look smoother and clearer, although the results will depend on the individual game and whether it supports the technology.

The phone uses a 3D IceLoop cooling system to manage heat during longer gaming sessions. The cooling system has a 26,000-square-millimeter heat dissipation area, a 5,200-square-millimeter liquid heat pipe area, and a large graphite layer. Poco says it can reduce SoC temperatures by up to 3 degrees Celsius under certain testing conditions. The device comes with 12GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and is available with either 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.

The 6.59-inch AMOLED display has a 185Hz refresh rate and 2510 x 1156 resolution, supports 68 billion colors and DCI-P3, and reaches 4,500 nits in multi-scenario use and 10,000 nits peak with selected HDR content.

It also offers full-range DC dimming, 16,000 dimming levels, a 1-nit minimum brightness, and TÜV Rheinland certifications for flicker-free operation, hardware-level low blue light, intelligent eye care, and circadian-friendly viewing.

The F9 Pro has a 6,330mAh silicon-carbon battery. It supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. According to Poco, wired charging can take the battery to 50% in 19 minutes, while wireless charging reaches 50 percent in 35 minutes. The phone can also charge other devices at up to 27W through a cable or 22.5W wirelessly.

The rear camera system includes a 200-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel floating telephoto camera, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. The telephoto camera has a 60mm equivalent focal length, 2.5x optical zoom, and a minimum focusing distance of 10 centimeters for close-up photography. For selfies, it includes a 32-megapixel lens.

The phone has symmetrical stereo speakers tuned with Bose. It offers Dynamic and Balanced sound profiles, with additional volume tuning intended to keep audio clear at different volume levels.

The F9 Pro is available in White and Aurora Green. The Aurora Green version has a rear panel that can glow after exposure to sunlight or indoor light. The phone also has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The 12GB/256GB model costs $699, while the 12GB/512GB version is priced at $769. In select markets, Poco is offering benefits including trials of Spotify Premium, YouTube Premium, and Google AI Pro.
