TL;DR
- A leak has spilled the beans on the upcoming POCO F9 Pro and F9 Ultra’s hardware specifications, including large batteries and Qualcomm’s latest silicon.
- The two phones are expected to be EU-bound versions of the Redmi K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max that recently debuted in China.
- While both phones offer Bose-branded onboard speakers, the F9 Ultra also includes an LED notification ring around the rear speaker.
The average smartphone battery capacity keeps growing each year, a phenomenon analysts attribute to Chinese smartphone brands and improved battery tech. Xiaomi sub-brand POCO is preparing to bring that battery tech to the European market, and a leak is now offering an early look at its upcoming flagships.
Exclusive reporting by WinFuture offers a good glimpse of the two premium-grade flagships, which are effectively European rebrands of the Redmi K100 Pro and Pro Max, which recently debuted in China. Among the leaked highlights of the top-of-the-line POCO F9 Ultra is a mammoth 8,050mAh battery, while the smaller F9 Pro features a 6,330mAh battery pack instead, which is a substantial upgrade compared to flagships from top brands.
