The Poco F9 Ultra focuses on two key upgrades over the F8 Ultra. It brings a new 200MP main camera (replacing the 50MP 1/1.31” module of the old model) to help bridge the gap between 1x and the 5x optical zoom offered by the 50MP periscope.

The other major change is that the battery now has 8,050mAh capacity, up from 6,500mAh. Charging is the same as before with 100W wired and 50W wireless. However, the phone remains on the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset as last year’s model. Check out our review for detailed results on battery life, performance, camera quality and more.

The Poco F9 Pro does upgrade the chipset – it uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Series, which is an Elite Gen 5 with a cut down GPU. It’s still a solid upgrade over the original Snapdragon 8 Elite that powered the F8 Pro. We have a test unit in for review, so expect results soon.
