POCO F7 with 7550 mAh battery, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 may launch in India soon

POCO is likely preparing to launch its flagship, the POCO F7, in India. The Chinese smartphone maker has teased a new smartphone featuring a massive 7,550 mAh battery on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, indicating that the device in question is the upcoming F7. The smartphone has previously surfaced on several benchmark platforms, including Geekbench, and has been reported to feature similar battery specifications.
The POCO F7 is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which was launched in China earlier this year. Industry reports suggest a launch window sometime in the third or fourth week of June.
POCO F7: What to expect
As per the teaser, the POCO F7 will come with a 7,550mAh battery—likely the largest battery ever on a commercially available smartphone. According to a report by GizmoChina, the battery is rated to last up to 2.18 days on moderate use and retain 80 per cent health even after 1,600 charging cycles. The device is expected to support 90W wired fast charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging.
The phone could launch in at least two colour options. One variant is expected to feature a solid black finish with a pill-shaped dual-camera module, a vertical LED strip, and POCO branding on the bottom left. The other version might offer a dual-tone finish in black or silver with branding placed on the bottom right. POCO may also introduce a special edition version tailored for the Indian market.
In terms of hardware, the POCO F7 is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of internal storage. For photography, the F7 is expected to sport a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, it may house a 20MP selfie camera suitable for video calls and content creation.

Epsilon to challenge China's dominance in EV battery cell materials

May set up ₹9K cr plant for making 100K tonnes of graphite anode Surajeet Das Gupta New Delhi Listen to This Article Rare earth magnet is not the only area where the Chinese dominate the world. They also control two other crucial areas of electric vehicle (EV) battery cell — manufacturing of graphite anode, required for lithium-ion batteries, as well as cathode powder, to make lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) battery. LFP batteries go into buses and commercial vehicles (CVs), and are considered safer. But an Indian company, Epsilon Advanced Materials, is trying to break into the market. It has finalised plans to set up a plant to manufacture these in Karnataka. To begin with, it is setting up a 100,000

Fearing China rivals, Stellantis and Renault lobby EU for fewer rules

With Chinese automakers pushing into Europe, Stellantis and Renault are lobbying for a new, less-regulated category of small cars with fewer safety features, making them cheaper to build. Over the last two months, Stellantis Chairman John Elkann and Renault CEO Luca de Meo have engaged in a rare public campaign to get the European Union to consider the matter. The aim is to revive a small car segment largely abandoned by Europe's automakers as such models were unprofitable, a problem they blame on regulations that make the vehicles larger, heavier and more expensive. Elkann last week said Europe needs its own version of Japan's "kei cars", small, urban vehicles with size and engine restrictions that enjoy lower tax and insurance costs - which he said could be called the "e-car". "There's no reason why if Japan has a kei car, which is 40 per cent of the market, Europe should not have an e-car,' he said at an event in Turin, echoing similar comments in a joint editorial with Renault's de Meo published last month. Though de Meo is set to leave Renault in July, the company is expected to maintain its support for the proposal. 'Small cars are a pocket of growth one cannot, and must not, ignore right now,' said Francois Provost, Renault's director of procurement, partnerships, and public affairs. Chinese rivals have so far focused on larger EVs and hybrids in their bid for market share in Europe, but smaller EVs are on the way. The Dolphin Surf from China's BYD hit the market one month ago, priced from under 20,000 euros ($23,124) with features such as a rotating large touch screen and anti-steam rear mirrors. By comparison, the Renault 5, which is similar though can carry one more passenger, costs almost 5,000 euros more when similarly equipped. Facing that pressure, European manufacturers are examining the potential for cheaper cars to help them boost sales and achieve their CO2 targets, said Flavien Neuvy, auto analyst and head of research firm Cetelem. 'The market is down 20 per cent compared with 2019, so there is not enough volume for everyone, and the Chinese are coming,' he said. Though small cars currently account for just 5 per cent of the market, they made up as much as half the market in the 1980s, and the segment could rebound with more launches, said S&P Global, which estimates sales could reach 600,000 by 2030, up about 20 per cent from last year. The lobbying effort targets the EU's General Safety Regulations 2 (GSR2), which mandates safety features such as side airbags, sensors detecting whether a driver is falling asleep, lane-crossing warning, and more thorough crash tests. Such requirements and European rules on pollution add between 850 and 1,400 euros ($983-$1,607) to the cost of a car, estimates a source familiar with the lobbying. Lobbyists argue there is no need for safety requirements like those for high-speed collisions when it comes to small cars designed for city drivers. Backed by industry group the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), they want an entirely new vehicle category called M0, or e-car. The European Commission is looking into the matter, said spokesperson Lea Zuber. Revamping requirements for smaller cars without compromising on safety will be complex and will not necessarily be implemented, said people familiar with the discussions. And whether less-regulated models could compete against Chinese EVs also remains to be seen. Matthew Avery, director of strategic development at Euro NCAP, which tests new cars for safety, said the idea that small city cars would not be involved in highway accidents is nonsense. The Chinese are bringing cars to Europe that consistently get five-star ratings from Euro NCAP, said Avery. Although its ratings do not carry legal weight, consumers take them into account and many corporate fleets will not buy cars with less than five stars. A change in regulations to cut some safety requirements could leave smaller European cars with two- or three-star ratings, Avery said. "If they want to, they can de-spec a car for safety," Avery said, but noted Euro NCAP's tests and safety ratings will remain unchanged. "Our job is just to say, well, this car is safer than that car." Emmanuel Bret, deputy head of BYD France, says the company will continue offering small cars that meet all current EU regulations and that blaming the bloc for making them unaffordable is just "a lot of excuses".

Israel security agencies warn people: Turn off your home security cameras or ...

Representative Image Iran is reportedly hacking into private security cameras across Israel to gather real-time intelligence on its adversary, highlighting a growing vulnerability in internet-connected devices amid escalating global conflicts, cybersecurity experts revealed this week. According to a report in Bloomberg, following a barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles that struck high-rise buildings in Tel Aviv, Refael Franco, former deputy director general of the Israel National Cyber Directorate , issued an urgent warning on public radio this week. 'Turn off your home surveillance cameras or change the password,' Franco urged, now leading cybersecurity firm Code Blue. 'In the past two or three days, the Iranians have been trying to connect to cameras to assess missile impact sites and improve their precision.' The Israel National Cyber Directorate is said to have confirmed the surge in cyberattacks targeting internet-connected cameras for Iran's war planning. 'We've seen attempts throughout the war, and those attempts are renewed now,' a spokesperson said Monday. While photos of missile impact sites circulate on social media, Israeli authorities have imposed an official blackout on such images. This tactic is not new. Gaby Portnoy, who recently stepped down as director of the Israel National Cyber Directorate, noted that Hamas previously exploited private cameras ahead of its October 7, 2023, invasion. 'The intelligence gathering from private cameras in the Gaza periphery was a disaster,' Portnoy said in an interview. 'Thousands of cameras, both public and private, were hacked over the years for intelligence collection.'

In Ukraine, Russia is reported to have similarly exploited private cameras near border crossings, military sites, and rail stations to track material movements, according to a May joint advisory by the US National Security Agency and Western intelligence agencies. Ukraine banned surveillance cameras in 2022 after warnings that Russia was using them to plan airstrikes, and in 2023, urged owners of street webcams to halt online broadcasts to prevent real-time missile strike adjustments. In the US, the Federal Communications Commission banned Chinese-made surveillance equipment in 2022 over national security concerns. The Israel-Iran cyberwar has intensified alongside physical attacks, with pro-Israel hacking group Predatory Sparrow claiming responsibility for disrupting a major Iranian bank and a cryptocurrency exchange. Iran's state-run IRIB News reported that Israel launched a full-scale cyberattack on the country's critical infrastructure. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
