Poco F7 India price range leaked ahead of June 24 launch event
The Poco F7 is all set to launch in India on June 24, but ahead of the official event, fresh leaks have given away some key details, including the potential price range. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the upcoming Poco smartphone could be priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000. While this has not been confirmed by the brand, the leaked range aligns with Poco's past pricing strategy for its F-series phones.advertisementIn recent years, Poco has positioned its F-series as performance-driven devices at aggressive prices. The F6 and F5 both started at Rs 29,999, while the F4 was launched at Rs 27,999. Considering the tough competition under the Rs 35,000 segment from rivals like iQOO and OnePlus, Poco is expected to keep the F7 within reach of value-focused buyers.The Poco F7 is already listed on Flipkart, giving a glimpse of what to expect. The biggest highlight appears to be its massive 7,550mAh battery — potentially the largest ever seen on a smartphone in India. Poco claims the battery can last more than two days on a single charge under normal usage. This is made possible by silicon-carbon battery tech, which also supports 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, turning the device into a power bank when needed. If the specs are accurate, the Poco F7 could surpass existing leaders like the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4 in battery capacity. However, the final design is still under wraps, so questions remain about whether the phone will be bulky due to its large battery.advertisement
In terms of performance, the Poco F7 is expected to come with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. A recent Geekbench listing hints that the phone could feature this processor, paired with 12GB of RAM in at least one variant. This new chip is designed for high-end performance, and early benchmarks indicate that it might deliver speeds close to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.To give some context, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses a balanced core setup, including one Cortex-X4, five Cortex-A720, and two Cortex-A520 cores. In comparison, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is tuned more for multi-core performance, with one Cortex-X4 and seven Cortex-A720 cores, but it skips the smaller efficiency cores. As a result, users may get strong processing power but slightly lower battery efficiency. If the Poco F7 does launch around the Rs 30,000 mark with this chipset, it could be one of the most powerful phones in its segment. That said, since these details are based on leaks and not yet officially confirmed by Poco, it's best to wait for the launch before drawing conclusions.The Poco F7 is also said to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which launched recently in China. If that is true, the Indian variant could offer a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and IP68 water and dust resistance. Storage options may go up to 1TB, and the RAM could go as high as 16GB. On the camera front, leaks point to a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 20MP front shooter for selfies and video calls.With the official launch just days away, Poco fans will soon find out how accurate these leaks are. If the pricing and features turn out to be true, the F7 could give strong competition to other mid-range heavyweights in India.

Pakistan to get 40 more J-35 stealth jets soon: What are its capabilities and should India be concerned?
China will soon supply 40 J-35 stealth fighter jets to Pakistan, elevating the Pakistan Air Force into the elite league of fifth-generation aircraft operators. According to a government announcement, deliveries are expected to begin by the end of this year. This marks the first international export of the J-35, a platform still in its early stages of deployment even within China's own military. Pakistan will receive the FC-31 variant of the J-35. It's the land-based version designed for export and ground operations, distinct from the naval version meant for China's aircraft carriers. The model is equipped with an infrared search-and-track system mounted on its nose and can link with other weapon systems to share target data. Why It matters for India India currently has no fifth-generation stealth jet in its arsenal. That's a major concern, say defence analysts. Group Captain Ajay Ahlawat (Retd.) told NDTV , "It is worrying news... any version of the J-35 in Pakistani colours is going to raise concerns for our side." While India enjoys superiority with its Rafale and Su-30MKI fighters, the arrival of stealth aircraft in Pakistan could narrow this gap significantly. Ahlawat added that India had considered acquiring either the F-35 or Russia's Su-57 but said, "These are bad choices. The only good choice is AMCA." J-35's capabilities: What we know so far The J-35, also called the J-35A, is China's second fifth-generation fighter after the J-20. Built by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, the jet made its public debut at the Zhuhai Air Show in November 2024 and later featured in model form at the 2025 Paris Air Show. Live Events This twin-engine, supersonic jet includes features such as an active electronically scanned array radar, an electro-optical targeting system, and a radar cross-section of just 0.001 square metres. That makes it nearly invisible to conventional radars, a capability on par with the U.S. F-35. China Daily reports that the aircraft can "share targets' position with other weapon systems" and can also use its radar to guide other munitions to those targets. Global Times quoted an unnamed expert who said the J-35 gives an advantage in "first detection, first strike," and in securing "operational advantages." China's design push: Inspired or stolen? What's stirred international interest is the J-35's uncanny resemblance to the American F-35 Lightning II. While analysts speculate on whether China borrowed design elements from stolen U.S. data, platforms like The War Zone have noted that copying the F-35 would be nearly impossible due to its complexity. In 2009, the U.S. government confirmed a cyber intrusion targeting its F-35 programme. Frank Kendall, then Pentagon acquisitions chief, admitted in a 2013 Senate hearing, 'I'm reasonably confident that classified information is safe, but not all confident about the unclassified information.' A year later, a Los Angeles grand jury indicted Su Bin, a Chinese businessman, for helping PLA hackers steal over 630,000 files relating to the F-22, F-35 and C-17 aircraft. A wake-up call for India's AMCA programme India's answer to the stealth gap is the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). Defence Minister Rajnath Singh approved the execution model in May, but the jet isn't expected to fly before 2035. Until then, experts are urging urgent upgrades to India's air surveillance and defence systems. India's current detection radars may struggle to pick up stealth aircraft like the J-35 until they are too close for comfort. China's ambitions: Mass production on the horizon Wang Yongqing, chief designer at the Shenyang Aircraft Design and Research Institute, told Global Times that the J-35A was created under an "air-sea twin configuration" and "one aircraft, multiple variants" model. This allows for faster development and cheaper production. "Many of our research achievements can be applied across different variants, such as sensors, onboard equipment, and avionics systems," he said. "This will correspondingly reduce future maintenance costs and improve logistical efficiency." Wang compared the J-35A's battlefield role to a basketball point guard: "The J-35A not only demonstrates outstanding 'scoring ability,' but also effectively coordinates other battlefield assets for joint operations." With Pakistan preparing to field a fifth-generation fleet and China ready to mass produce, India finds itself on the back foot. And the clock is ticking. The AMCA remains India's only viable option to restore parity. But the stealth gap is real — and it's already looming over the subcontinent.

Genpact to employees: Follow 10-hour workday 'mandate' or face performance review
Genpact has implemented a new policy requiring a 10-hour workday for its employees, which will be effective mid-June, a report claims. Employees who fail to comply with this mandate may reportedly face performance reviews. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, the policy does not include a corresponding increase in base salary, the report adds. According to a report by The Hindu, the tech and services company will track employee productivity through an internal tool that will monitor their daily active hours. Employees meeting the required hours can reportedly earn up to 500 points monthly, which will be equivalent to Rs 3,000 in incentives. The report also adds that an additional 5% bonus, which is nearly Rs 150, will be paid to employees for any extra time logged beyond the 10-hour mandate. How Genpact employees have reacted to the 10-hour workday mandate Genpact's recent policy rollout has led to growing unrest among employees, particularly in the Hyderabad office, where the atmosphere has been described as 'tense' and morale appears low, the report adds. As per the report, the approach to implementing the policy has also added to the concerns, as it was communicated informally by managers and team leads rather than through official HR channels. Several employees have raised issues about the lack of clarity, with one senior recruitment staff member telling The Hindu: 'There's nothing on paper. It's all word of mouth. If anyone challenges it, they're accused of being difficult and risk termination.' A current employee also took to social media to share his concerns about the company's practices. A LinkedIn user, who identified as a Genpact employee, pointed out that requiring a 10-hour login can affect productivity. In a LinkedIn post, Abhishek Sharma who works as an assistant manager at Genpact wrote: '#For10HrLogin – Is this the new standard or a step backward? As professionals striving for excellence, we're no strangers to going the extra mile. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But mandating a 10-hour login raises some important questions about work-life balance, productivity, and mental health. In today's world where efficiency and output matter more than screen time, shouldn't we focus on results, not hours? Extended login hours can lead to burnout, reduced creativity, and disengagement. I urge leadership to reconsider – is this sustainable, and is it truly what drives growth? Open to hearing others' views. Let's talk about healthier, smarter ways to work."
