Design
The Poco F9 Pro features a relatively streamlined design with a flat display and rounded metal frame. The back is deliberately minimalist, setting it apart from the sometimes more striking designs of previous Poco generations. At 157.49 mm thick, the smartphone is comparatively compact despite its 6.59-inch display.
- 157.49 mm height
- 75.25 mm width
- 8.79 mm case thickness
- 206 grams weight
- Flat display
- Rounded metal frame
- Flat integrated camera area
- Colors Black, White and Aurora Green
The Aurora Green variant is particularly special. Its reverse side features a special luminescent surface that stores light and then glows in the dark. This gives this version a significantly more striking appearance than the black and white versions.
Build quality
In terms of build quality, Poco clearly positions the F9 Pro in the premium segment. The metal frame ensures stability, while the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. An IP68 certification also protects the smartphone against dust and water.
- Metal frame
- Corning Gorilla Glass 7i
- IP68 certification
- Complete protection against dust
- Water resistance under defined test conditions
- Precisely integrated keys
- Fingerprint sensor in the display
The IP68 certification allows immersion in fresh water up to a depth of 1.5 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes under the laboratory conditions specified by Poco. The level of protection may decrease over time due to wear and tear.
Display
The Poco F9 Pro features a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,510 × 1,156 pixels. Poco refers to the full-RGB subpixel structure used as HyperRGB. It is designed to combine high perceived image sharpness with lower energy consumption than conventional high-resolution OLED panels.

The combination of a high-resolution main camera, optically stabilized telephoto lens and telephoto macro lens makes the Poco F9 Pro significantly more versatile than previous performance-oriented Poco smartphones, where the camera often played a subordinate role.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi Poco F9 Pro combines extreme performance with an unusually comprehensive feature set. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-Series and the additional VisionBoost D8 graphics chip make the smartphone particularly appealing for demanding games, while the 185Hz AMOLED display can deliver correspondingly high frame rates. At the same time, Poco has improved areas that, in previous generations, sometimes lagged behind the processor’s performance.
These include, in particular, the 200-megapixel main camera, the 50-megapixel telephoto camera with optical image stabilization, wireless charging, and the Bose speakers. The 6,330mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W charging and 50W Wireless HyperCharge completes the package. With this, the Poco F9 Pro is no longer aimed solely at users seeking maximum processing power for their money, but presents itself as a significantly more complete high-end smartphone.
