Poco F7 global variant appears on certification site: Specs and launch timeline leaked

Mint22-05-2025

The Poco F7 seems to be inching closer to its global debut, with the device recently surfacing on Thailand's NBTC certification website, reported GSMArena.
Reportedly, this new listing suggests both the Poco F7 name and its global model number – 25053PC47G – further cementing speculation that a launch is on the horizon.
Though the smartphone was initially expected to arrive in late May, recent developments suggest the unveiling may now take place sometime next month. If launched, the F7 will expand Poco's current F-series lineup, which already includes the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra.
Based on multiple leaks and the device's model number, the Poco F7 is widely believed to be a global version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which was launched in China earlier this year, the publication added. If this holds true, consumers can expect a powerful set of specifications.
The handset is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280x2272 pixels, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Under the hood, the Poco F7 is expected to house the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and internal storage options ranging from 256GB to a massive 1TB.
Camera capabilities are likely to include a 50MP primary sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, a 20MP selfie camera is expected to handle video calls and self-portraits.
One of the standout features of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is its substantial 7,550mAh battery. However, it remains uncertain whether this specification will be retained in the international version under the Poco branding.
With certifications stacking up and rumours gaining momentum, it seems only a matter of time before Poco officially unveils the F7 to global markets. The brand appears set to continue its trend of delivering performance-driven smartphones at competitive price points.

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.

Meet F-35B Lightning: UKs Fighter Jet That Royal Air Force Calls ‘Stealth Aircraft'; Check Role, Capabilities, And…

photoDetails english The F-35B Lightning is a 'stealth aircraft' operating alongside the Typhoon, according to the UK's Royal Air Force. It is a short take-off and vertical landing aircraft that can operate from aircraft carriers and in austere environments. Meanwhile, to bring forward a recent event, the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday (June 15) informed in a post on X that a British Royal Navy F-35B fighter jet made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram airport on Saturday night. Updated:Jun 20, 2025, 03:56 PM IST Role 1 / 10 The Royal Air Force described the fighter jet as a "multi-role machine" and added that it is capable of conducting electronic warfare, air-to-surface, air-to-air missions, and intelligence gathering simultaneously. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) Capability 2 / 10 The aircraft features advanced sensors, mission systems, and low-observable technology, also known as stealth, which allows it to operate undetected in hostile environments. Using the integrated sensors, the pilot has situational awareness of the battle space while operating the F-35B Lightning. The pilot could share the collected information with other platforms using secure data links or utilize it to employ its weapons or electronic attack capabilities. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) History 3 / 10 As per the Royal Air Force, Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II is "the result of decades of development starting with the US Navy's 1983 Advanced Tactical Aircraft (ATA) program to replace the A-6 Intruder and DARPA's Advanced Short Take-Off/Vertical Landing (ASTOVL) project, aimed at creating a supersonic successor to the Harrier." The ASTOVL and ATA programs evolved, merging into the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program by 1996. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) Boeing and Lockheed Martin 4 / 10 Boeing and Lockheed Martin were entrusted to produce demonstrators for a competitive fly-off. The timeline of the production, test and delivery was such that in 2001, Lockheed Martin won the contract with its X-35, which became the F-35 Lightning II. The UK joined as a 'key partner', choosing the F-35B STOVL variant for its Harrier replacement and its Queen Elizabeth-class carriers. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) UK's First F-35 In... 5 / 10 The UK received its first F-35B in 2012, and RAF Marham was made the 'primary base' for the aircraft. In July 2012, the UK government decided to purchase an initial batch of 48 aircraft. The first of these was delivered on July 19, 2012, for trials work, a task 17 (Reserve) Squadron assumed in 2014. "617 Squadron reformed as the first front-line Lightning squadron in 2018, comprising RN and RAF personnel, followed by 207 Squadron – the Operational Conversion unit – in 2019. Lightning achieved its Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in December 2018 and became IOC (Maritime) in December 2020," the RAF's website elaborated. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) First British Pilot To Fly F-35 6 / 10 To go back a little on the timeline, Squadron Leader Steve Long became the first British pilot to fly an F-35 on January 26, 2010. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) First Operational Squadron 7 / 10 The first operational squadron, 617 Sqn, arrived in the UK in 2018. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) Joint US-UK Carrier Operations 8 / 10 US Marine Corps F-35Bs joined UK jets for training ahead of HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) Queen Elizabeth's first operational cruise in 2021, marking the start of joint UK-US carrier operations. (Photo Credit: @RoyalAirForce/ X) British Royal Navy F-35B's Emergency Landing 9 / 10 In a post on X, the Indian Air Force (IAF) on June 15 (Sunday) informed that the Royal Navy F-35B fighter recovered off an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in India on the night of June 14 (Saturday). "Operating from UK Aircraft Carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, it was undertaking routine flying outside Indian ADIZ with Thiruvananthapuram earmarked as the emergency recovery airfield," the IAF said. "On having declared a diversion off an emergency, the F-35 B was detected and identified by the IAF's IACCS network and cleared for the recovery. IAF is providing all necessary support for the rectification and subsequent return of the aircraft," the IAF added.
