Poco F9 Ultra

A Phone With Its Own Subwoofer

The Poco F9 Ultra does something genuinely strange with smartphone audio: it adds an independent rear subwoofer to its Bose-tuned stereo speakers. The resulting 2.1-channel setup is built to give games, videos, and music a physical low end that thin phone speakers usually cannot approach.

Everything Gets the Ultra Treatment

A 6.9-inch AMOLED display refreshes at up to 185Hz, while Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 handles the work behind it. The $799 base model includes 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage, positioning the phone as a performance flagship that still undercuts many premium rivals.

A Huge Battery That Charges Two Ways

The 8,050mAh battery is one of the F9 Ultra's defining numbers, supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. That capacity should suit the demanding screen, chip, and speaker system, while wireless charging gives the larger model a convenience the F9 Pro lacks.

A Periscope Joins the 200MP Main Camera

Photography starts with a 200-megapixel main camera and extends to a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom. Available in black or a much louder red, the F9 Ultra is not trying to be discreet. It is a big-screen, big-battery phone whose most memorable feature may be the extra speaker on its back.
