Video Review
Summary
The POCO F9 Ultra is a performance-focused flagship smartphone combining the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with a dedicated VisionBoost D8 graphics chip, a 185Hz AMOLED display and an unusually large 8050mAh battery. Its 200MP main camera, stabilized 5x periscope telephoto camera, 50MP ultrawide camera and Bose-tuned speaker system make it more versatile than a typical gaming-oriented phone. The main compromises are its substantial 235g weight, large dimensions, lack of expandable storage and relatively high price.
