Overview
- POCO has confirmed a global unveiling of the F9 series for September 1 and an India launch for the X8 5G and X8 Power 5G on September 4 at 12 PM IST, with Flipkart pages prepared for the India models.
- The X8 is officially listed with a 9,000 mAh battery that supports 67W wired and 22.5W reverse charging, while the X8 Power is confirmed at 10,000 mAh with 100W wired charging.
- POCO has published flagship-grade F9 Ultra specs ahead of the global event, including an 8,050 mAh battery, 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, a 200MP primary camera, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
- Leaked price reports show wide regional variance: a tipster posted Philippines figures for the F9 Pro (PHP 49,999) and F9 Ultra (PHP 89,999), and a separate rumor suggested Indian ranges for the X8 (≈INR 28,000–30,000) and X8 Power (≈INR 35,000); none are official.
- A leaked EPREL energy-label entry for the F9 Ultra rates its energy efficiency A with 80 hours 44 minutes of claimed endurance but assigns a C for drop resistance, underscoring a trade-off between battery endurance and physical durability and leaving final market impact dependent on confirmed pricing and local availability.
