Summary

  • €829.90 for 12GB/256GB and €899.90 for 16GB/512GB puts the Poco F9 Ultra firmly above its old “flagship-killer” bracket, with the review noting the line has now crossed the €1,000 threshold in some markets.
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powers the phone, alongside a 6.9-inch 185Hz OLED that Poco says is the global debut of its M11 panel, plus a dedicated display chip for frame interpolation and dynamic resolution.
  • 8,050mAh is the biggest battery yet in a Poco F-series model, paired with 100W wired charging, 55W wireless charging, and both wired and wireless reverse charging.
  • BOSE-branded audio remains a standout feature with dual symmetrical stereo speakers and a rear subwoofer in a rare 2.1 setup, while the European retail box drops the charger but includes a USB-A to USB-C cable and case.
  • The review frames the F9 Ultra as a true flagship with few compromises, but says its steep price hike from last year's €829 Poco F8 Ultra will test Poco's value-focused identity.
