Evidence-based overview

Poco F9 Ultra technical sheet

The Poco F9 Ultra runs Android 16 on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with an octa-core CPU reaching 4.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 1,024 GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Documented figures include 4,165,108 in AnTuTu v11, 3,234 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 10,059 in multi-core. Storage is not expandable, so the built-in capacity matters from the start.

Its 6.9-inch AMOLED display has 1,200 × 2,608 px resolution, a 185 Hz refresh rate, 480 Hz touch sampling and peak brightness of 4,500 nits. HDR10+, Dolby Vision, LTPO and Gorilla Glass 7i are also listed. The phone is 8.7 mm thick, weighs 235 g and has IP68 and IP69 resistance. That weight may be a drawback for people who prefer a lighter handset.

The 8,050 mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery supports 100 W fast charging, 50 W wireless charging, and both wireless and wired reverse charging. However, documented endurance data is unavailable, so capacity and charging specifications should not be treated as proof of real-world runtime.

The camera system includes a 200 MP main camera with optical stabilisation and 5x optical zoom, a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera, a 50 MP ultrawide camera and a 32 MP front camera. Video recording reaches 8K at 30 fps, while slow motion is listed up to 1,920 fps. It suits buyers seeking a broad display, hardware, connectivity and camera specification, provided they are comfortable with the weight and non-expandable storage.

Highlights

  • 1High-end hardware with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and 16 GB RAM
  • 26.9-inch AMOLED display with 185 Hz and 4,500 nits
