POCO F9 Ultra Price in Pakistan (Expected 2026)
The POCO F9 Ultra's donor phone is no longer a rumor: the Redmi K100 Pro Max launched in China on August 11, 2026 — a 6.9-inch 2K display at a record 185Hz, a 9,070mAh battery with 100W charging, and a 200MP main camera with a 50MP 5x periscope, on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The F9 Ultra is reported to be its global rebadge, already spotted in the GSMA IMEI database and Singapore/Indonesia/Taiwan certifications. The date is now official: POCO has confirmed (via its official X/Twitter account) that the F9 Ultra launches globally on 1 September 2026, alongside the F9 Pro. Global specs and all Pakistani prices below remain expected/estimates until launch.

Quick Summary
Expected Price in Pakistan
All figures are expected estimates based on import/PTA cost trends — not official Apple prices. Prices may change after the official launch.
| Variant | Expected Non-PTA | Expected PTA Approved | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| POCO F9 Ultra 12/256GB (expected) | Rs 185,000 – Rs 205,000 | Rs 240,000 – Rs 262,000 | Expected |
| POCO F9 Ultra 16/512GB (expected) | Rs 205,000 – Rs 225,000 | Rs 260,000 – Rs 290,000 | Expected |
All prices are expected estimates, not official figures — anchored to POCO F8 Ultra launch pricing, current street prices in Pakistan and the ~Rs 278 dollar rate. With the donor K100 Pro Max now official at aggressive China pricing, a modest increase over the F8 Ultra is still likely for global units. Final PTA tax depends on FBR slabs at registration.
Latest evidence: flagship silicon, killer price, launch near
The donor phone is now official: the Redmi K100 Pro Max launched in China on August 11, 2026 with a 6.9-inch 2K display at a record 185Hz (4,500 nits), a 9,070mAh battery with 100W wired + 50W wireless charging, and a 200MP main camera with a 50MP 5x periscope — running the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a dedicated D2 display chip. The F9 Ultra is reported to bring exactly this hardware global at a flagship-killer price.
The date is now official: POCO has confirmed (via its official X/Twitter account) a global launch on 1 September 2026, alongside the F9 Pro — targeting the EEA, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia and Japan. This follows regulatory records rather than just rumor: sightings in the GSMA IMEI database, Singapore's IMDA and Indonesia's SDPPI/TKDN.
Beyond the chip and rebadge, trusted-source details (display, cameras, battery, charging) have not leaked — we leave them blank rather than guess, and will update as credible reports land.
How much will the POCO F9 Ultra cost in Pakistan?
Anchored to F8 Ultra pricing plus the costlier 2nm chip, expect roughly Rs 185,000–225,000 non-PTA and Rs 240,000–290,000 PTA-approved (estimates). The leaked region list does not mention Pakistan, so early availability will likely be import-led — confirm ROM type and warranty before paying.
This band's PTA tax is expected around Rs 55,000–75,000 on CNIC. Verify any IMEI on the official DIRBS portal, and see PTA-approved phones in Faisalabad plus our PTA compliance guide.
Comparing: the F9 Pro saves ~Rs 60,000 with last year's flagship chip; the Xiaomi 18 offers the same Gen 6 silicon class in a compact true-flagship body for more money.
Timeline and expected availability
Mid-2026: K100 Pro Max rebadge leaks. July–August 2026: certification sightings (GSMA IMEI, IMDA, SDPPI/TKDN, NCC). August 11, 2026 (OFFICIAL): donor Redmi K100 Pro Max launches in China — 185Hz 2K display, 9,070mAh, 200MP + 5x periscope, from ~CNY 3,999-class pricing. 1 September 2026 (CONFIRMED): global F9 launch alongside the F9 Pro, officially announced by POCO. Shortly after (expected): import units in Pakistani markets at early premiums as stock reaches local sellers, settling within a couple of months. Mid-2027 (expected): first used units on Mehfoz.
Regions (leaked): EEA, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, Japan; India reportedly excluded. Dubai/Saudi follow the global wave; the USA has no official POCO retail. Pakistan: import-first, as with previous Ultras.
Who should buy the F9 Ultra, who should skip, who should wait?
Buy if you want 2026's top Snapdragon at the lowest realistic price — gamers and power users are exactly who the Ultra tier exists for — and you accept import-market terms.
Skip if you own an F8 Ultra; it remains extremely fast and will get cheaper. If you want a true flagship experience (cameras, polish), the Xiaomi 18 Pro or OnePlus 16 target that instead.
Wait for the official launch if you need full specs — beyond the chip, details are genuinely unconfirmed. Meanwhile a used POCO/Xiaomi flagship covers you for far less.
Expected resale value and future price history in Pakistan
POCO Ultras depreciate fast in Pakistan — great for used buyers, worth knowing for new ones. A PTA-approved F9 Ultra is estimated to retain roughly 60–70% of its price after 6 months, 45–55% after 1 year and 30–40% after 2 years. Non-PTA units fare worse. Estimates, not guarantees.
No price history exists yet — after launch this section will track import, market and used prices over time. When you upgrade, sell your current phone on Mehfoz.
How we researched this guide (editorial note)
Built on regulatory evidence (GSMA IMEI, IMDA, SDPPI, TKDN, NCC — reported by NotebookCheck/91mobiles) plus the now-OFFICIAL Redmi K100 Pro Max donor specs from its August 11 China launch (GSMArena); global-variant details are left open rather than guessed. Pakistani estimates anchor to real F8 Ultra pricing and the ~Rs 278 dollar rate. Confidence: high that launch is near (certifications), moderate on the chip/rebadge claims, lowest on pricing and Pakistani availability. We skipped the base POCO F9 (no certification or trusted leak this cycle) and the POCO X9 series (untrusted sources only). Last reviewed by the Mehfoz editorial team on 26 August 2026; updated after POCO officially confirmed the 1 September 2026 global launch, and again immediately after the launch itself.
POCO F9 Ultra (expected) vs F8 Ultra vs Xiaomi 18 Pro (expected)
| F9 Ultra (Expected) | F8 Ultra (Current) | Xiaomi 18 Pro (Expected) | |

| Positioning | Ultra flagship killer (K100 Pro Max) | Flagship killer | True flagship, Leica cameras |
| PTA-approved price | Rs 240,000–290,000 (Expected) | Lower — price falling | Rs 420,000–500,000 (Expected) |
| Best for | 185Hz + 9,070mAh flagship killer (Expected) | Value performance today | Camera flagship (Expected) |
PTA Tax — What Pakistani Buyers Should Know
- A non-PTA POCO F9 Ultra will run a Pakistani SIM only for about a 60-day traveller grace period, then the SIM is blocked until PTA tax is paid.
- This band faces an expected Rs 55,000–75,000 PTA tax on CNIC (estimate); Passport registration is cheaper but time-limited.
- Leaked launch regions do not explicitly include Pakistan — early units will likely be imports; confirm ROM type, warranty and PTA status before paying.
- PTA/FBR tax slabs change over time — verify the live figure on the official DIRBS portal before paying.
- Always confirm whether a quoted price is PTA-paid or non-PTA — see PTA-approved phones in Faisalabad.
Final PTA tax for any model should be verified from official PTA/FBR sources once available. We do not claim official PTA tax for unreleased models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the expected POCO F9 Ultra price in Pakistan?+
Around Rs 185,000–225,000 non-PTA and Rs 240,000–290,000 PTA-approved (estimates anchored to F8 Ultra pricing plus the costlier 2nm chip). Real figures come at the global launch, which POCO has officially confirmed for 1 September 2026.
When will the POCO F9 Ultra launch?+
POCO has officially confirmed (via its official X/Twitter account) a global launch on 1 September 2026, alongside the F9 Pro — backed by real certification sightings (GSMA IMEI, Singapore IMDA, Indonesia SDPPI/TKDN). Pakistan availability is expected shortly after, as stock reaches local sellers.
What chip will the POCO F9 Ultra use?+
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 paired with a dedicated D2 display chip — now effectively confirmed, because its donor phone (Redmi K100 Pro Max) launched in China on August 11, 2026 with exactly that hardware. Earlier “Gen 6 Pro” rumors did not hold: Gen 6 only debuts at the late-September Snapdragon Summit.
Will the POCO F9 Ultra officially launch in Pakistan?+
The confirmed launch region list (EEA, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, Japan) does not mention Pakistan. Expect import-led availability shortly after the 1 September 2026 global launch, as stock reaches local sellers — as with previous Ultras.
How much will the POCO F9 Ultra PTA tax be?+
Not confirmed. This price band currently sees roughly Rs 55,000–75,000 on CNIC. Check the official DIRBS portal for the live figure when you register.
POCO F9 Ultra vs Xiaomi 18 — which should I wait for?+
Same chip generation, different missions: the F9 Ultra chases maximum performance per rupee; the Xiaomi 18 series adds true-flagship cameras, build and software polish for roughly Rs 100,000+ more. Gamers pick POCO; camera buyers pick Xiaomi.
Should I buy the POCO F8 Ultra instead?+
At its falling price, it is a strong buy — Gen 5 silicon remains extremely fast. An inspected used F8 Ultra on Mehfoz after the F9 launch may be Pakistan's best gaming-phone value.

Estimated at roughly 60–70% after 6 months, 45–55% after 1 year and 30–40% after 2 years for PTA-approved units. Non-PTA units fare worse.
