The POCO F9 series could be making its global debut soon. The upcoming POCO F9 Pro and POCO F9 Ultra have surfaced on multiple certification platforms and the IMEI database, suggesting Xiaomi’s sub-brand could unveil its next-generation flagship smartphones soon. The POCO F9 Pro and F9 Ultra will succeed the F8 Pro and F8 Ultra from last year.

The two smartphones have also appeared on Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) certification website. The listings confirm support for 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC, suggesting the phones are getting closer to a launch in Singapore.

In another development, tipster Anvin claimed that both devices have been certified on Indonesia’s TKDN platform. The POCO F9 Pro reportedly carries model number 2607APCA5G, while the POCO F9 Ultra is said to bear model number 2607DPC18G in line with the IMEI certification.
The POCO F9 series is expected to build on last year’s flagship lineup with notable hardware upgrades. Leaks suggest the POCO F9 Pro could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, while the POCO F9 Ultra may debut with the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor, which is expected to be released later this year. If accurate, the Ultra model would sit above the Pro as the company’s most powerful smartphone to date. The prospect of a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro in the Ultra model is particularly intriguing, hinting at a serious performance contender. Both phones should comfortably offer advanced AI features, smoother high-refresh-rate gaming, and improved multitasking with these chipsets.
For comparison, the POCO F8 Ultra launched with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, while the POCO F8 Pro offered the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The upcoming generation is therefore expected to focus on delivering higher performance while continuing POCO’s strategy of offering flagship-grade specifications at comparatively aggressive prices.
The upcoming POCO F9 series could appeal to buyers looking for flagship performance without crossing into ultra-premium pricing. However, with certifications revealing only limited details so far, we should wait for more concrete details about the specifications, pricing, and availability.
