POCO’s quasi-flagship F9 Ultra recently appeared in the Geekbench 7 benchmark database, and it is confirmed to be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and 16GB RAM. The single-core and multi-core scores reached 2,980 and 10,030 points respectively, showing solid performance. Market news indicates that the phone is actually an international version of the Redmi K100 Pro Max, with Android 16 pre-installed. The hardware will be equipped with a 6.9-inch 185Hz AMOLED screen, a 200-megapixel OIS main lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto shooting combination, while the battery capacity is fine-tuned to 8,050mAh. As various specifications continue to leak out, it is expected that the new machine will be officially released in the short term.
There have been constant rumors about the POCO F9 series recently, and the POCO F9 Ultra, which has the strongest specifications, has finally appeared in the Geekbench 7 benchmark database. According to the latest exposed test data, the single-core score of the machine reached 2,980 points, and the multi-core score reached 10,030 points. The overall performance is in line with the expected level of a new generation flagship model.
In terms of hardware configuration, the leaked test model is confirmed to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and built-in 16GB RAM. It is expected that the manufacturer will provide more different memory capacity options for users to choose from when it is officially released. It is worth noting that the test machine is pre-loaded with the Android 16 operating system. Although Android 17 has been released on the market, according to the past system update pace of Xiaomi and its sub-brands, it is reasonable for the new machine to maintain the mature Android 16.
Market news points out that POCO F9 Ultra is likely to be an international version of the Redmi K100 Pro Max, and the two are highly consistent in core specifications. The new phone is expected to be equipped with a 6.9-inch 1200 x 2608 resolution AMOLED screen, supporting a refresh rate of up to 185Hz and a peak brightness of 4,500-nit. In terms of photography components, it is expected to be equipped with a 200MP main lens with OIS optical anti-shake, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens that supports 5x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle and 32MP front-facing selfie lens. Although the overall design is similar to the Redmi K100 Pro Max, it is reported that the POCO F9 Ultra will use a slightly smaller capacity 8,050 mAh battery. As the exposure information becomes more and more complete, I believe that the official release date is not far away.
