New certification listings for the Poco F9 Pro, Poco F9 Ultra, and Vivo X500 signal that these devices are nearing a global release. Buyers waiting for the next generation of mid-range and flagship smartphones should mark their calendars for late 2026. The Poco F9 series and Vivo X500 are expected to launch in key markets including the EEA, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, and Japan. These certifications suggest that hardware development is nearing completion and software testing is likely in progress.
Certification listings confirm model numbers and chipset details for upcoming smartphones
The Poco F9 Pro carries the model number 2607APCA5G, while the Poco F9 Ultra is identified as 26077PC53G. Vivo X500 appears in the database with the model number V2610. Both Poco devices are expected to be based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered Redmi K100 series. The inclusion of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 positions the Poco F9 series as a high-performance option for mobile gamers and power users.
The Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra have been certified in Indonesia and Singapore, confirming their readiness for international distribution. Vivo X500, also carrying the model number V2619 in some contexts, appears in Indonesia's SDPPI, confirming the name for the first time according to Anvin. The Vivo X500 Pro Max has also been approved in Indonesia, suggesting a broader family of devices from the brand. Certifications in multiple regions suggest a coordinated global rollout strategy for the Poco F9 series and Vivo X500.
The Redmi K100 series is expected to debut in China in August, which will likely set the stage for the Poco F9 launch. The Vivo X500 global launch could take place around a month after its China debut, which is expected in September. The F9 lineup could break cover globally as early as October, following the Redmi K100 schedule. While India is a major market for Poco, it is unlikely to receive the F9 Pro and F9 Ultra based on current market strategy reports.
Tracking these certification patterns helps estimate release windows before official announcements. Similar certification trends have been observed in previous mid-range smartphone launches. The confirmed model numbers and chipset details provide a clear picture of what to expect from these devices. Consumers can anticipate high-performance hardware arriving in their regions within the next few months.
