POCO has officially unveiled its latest flagship killer lineup for 2026 with the launch of the new POCO F9 Series. The lineup once again comes in two variants: the POCO F9 Pro and POCO F9 Ultra.
Both models feature Sound by Bose, bringing a more refined audio experience to POCO's latest smartphones.

Performance is also a major focus of the F9 Series. Both phones pair their flagship processors with the dedicated VisionBoost D8 chipset, enabling Smart Frame Rate of up to an industry-leading 185FPS. Smart Frame Rate and AI Super Resolution can also run simultaneously, delivering smoother motion while maintaining sharper details.
The POCO 3D IceLoop cooling system helps keep temperatures in check during demanding tasks and gaming, rounding out the performance package.
For gamers, the F9 Series integrates the WildBoost Engine, with support for gaming at an ultra-high 185FPS. Compared with 120FPS gaming, this provides 65 additional frames per second while shortening the refresh interval by 3ms. Five additional games can also reach 185FPS through Smart Frame Rate.

The gaming experience is further enhanced by Game Color Enhancement, which allows precise tuning of game visuals for more vivid graphics and improved scene details.
Matching these visuals is a high-speed touch response system, featuring a 4,800Hz instant touch sampling rate, 480Hz 10-point touch sampling rate, and an ultra-high 200Hz gyro sampling rate. Together, these translate every tap, swipe, and tilt into faster and more precise in-game control.
POCO F9 Ultra
At the top of the lineup is the POCO F9 Ultra, powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, optimized for gaming and high-performance workloads.
