Poco is reportedly working on the Poco F9 series of smartphones. According to a report by XimiTime, two F9 series devices have emerged in the GSMA IMEI database, revealing their model numbers and monikers. At the same time, these devices have also received certifications in multiple countries, indicating that their global launch could be fast approaching.
Poco F9 Ultra, Poco F9 Pro global launch may be near
The GSMA IMEI database listings reveal that the upcoming Poco F9 Pro carries the model number 2607APCA5G, while the Poco F9 Ultra has the model number 26077PC53G. These devices are expected to launch globally, including in the EEA, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, and Japan. While India is a major market for Poco, it is unlikely to receive the F9 Pro and F9 Ultra.
Apart from surfacing in the IMEI database, both devices have also appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI and Singapore’s IMDA certification platforms. This is earlier than expected, considering that the Poco F8 Ultra and F8 Pro were spotted on IMDA and Thailand’s NBTC certification platform in October before going official in November.
The Redmi K100 series is expected to debut in China in August. Since the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra are expected to be based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Redmi K100 series, the F9 lineup could break cover globally as early as October.
Vivo X500 certified in Indonesia
A recent report revealed that the global version of the Vivo X500 has appeared in the GSMA IMEI database. More recently, the Vivo X500 Pro Max was approved by Indonesia’s TKDN certification platform, and now the Vivo X500 has also surfaced in the same database. In addition, the X500, carrying the model number V2610, has appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI certification platform.
For those unaware, the TKDN certification measures the percentage of locally sourced Indonesian components in a product, while the SDPPI certification confirms that a device complies with Indonesia’s telecommunications and radio equipment standards before it can be sold in the country.
As usual, none of these certifications reveal any specifications. However, since the global Vivo X500 models have already started appearing on certification platforms, it appears that their global launch could take place around a month after the China debut, which is expected in September.
