Poco F7 India price range leaked ahead of June 24 launch event
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.

Govt slashes security testing fees by 95% to boost local telecom manufacturing
Synopsis The telecom department has slashed security evaluation fees for telecom and ICT products by up to 95%, capping charges at Rs 50,000. This move aims to ease costs for domestic manufacturers and boost R&D. It benefits firms like Ericsson, Nokia, VVDN, and Dixon. Government R&D bodies are exempt from fees until March 2028 to spur innovation. iStock The telecom department Monday sharply slashed security evaluation fees for telecom and ICT products in a bid to make the security certification process more affordable for domestic evaluation fees were reduced by as much as 95% which previously ranged from Rs 2-3.5 lakh depending on the equipment category. Under the revised structure, the maximum testing certification labs can charge is Rs 50,000, from an earlier Rs 3.5 lakh. This will significantly reduce financial strain on telecom and ICT manufacturers. The move is expected to positively impact the operations of Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, and telecom equipment manufacturers such as VVDN and Dixon Technologies, said analysts. 'This is a good step to spur innovation among local players. Earlier, each new product being developed locally had to be tested. With the fees rationalised, it becomes cheaper for us to innovate in R&D,' said Ashok Gupta, chairman, Optiemus Infracom, which makes telecom products including routers and set-top-boxes. Currently, products such as IP routers, Wi-Fi CPEs, and 5G Core SMF are under mandatory security testing, while Optical Line Terminals and Optical Networking Terminals are subject to voluntary certification. Gupta added that the security testing fees are added as part of the costs billed by the contract manufacturer to its customers, which was then passed down to the end-customer. However, security testing fees are only paid once when developing the product, and does not typically have a significant impact on final pricing, he government has also exempted security test evaluation fees for its R&D institutes such as CDOT and CDAC until March 31, 2028 as part of a wider effort to encourage innovation in public sector research.'This fee reduction is expected to bolster the competitiveness of Indian telecom manufacturers, stimulate local innovation, and provide a more straightforward pathway to market entry for both domestic and international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs),' the ministry of communications said in a statement.

AI disruptions will be brief as reskilling drives new jobs: Karnataka IT Min
The state encourages innovation and collaboration, ensuring 'that any entrepreneur or corporation who dreams of making it big globally, starts from Karnataka', he noted. In an interview with PTI, Kharge asserted that Karnataka retains a comfortable lead over others in technology, with strong data and performance vectors backing its position. New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI) Disruptions from Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be brief and new jobs will emerge, Karnataka's IT and Biotechnology Minister Priyank Kharge has said, highlighting the state's large-scale reskilling initiatives are underway to prepare talent for new-age technologies. On the issue of disruptions due to AI, the minister said, Nipuna Karnataka, the state's large-scale reskilling and upskilling initiative, aims at safeguarding and future-proofing its talent pool. 'While there might be certain job losses, new jobs will be created…And that is why we need a massive reskilling and upskilling programme. So, there will be disruption, but the disruption will be for a brief while, until we are able to reskill and upskill people,' he said. Nipuna Karnataka is a Rs 300 crore reskilling initiative, industry-driven and industry-focused, with ambitious targets to train talent at scale, he added. In the coming financial year, the state government aims to skill individuals in key areas, like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital forensics, and other technologies, in line with the global tech demands. 'We intend to scale over 5,00,000 people in the coming financial year, in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital forensics, and anything that the industry might need. So, we are closely talking to them through our skill council for emerging technologies, taking their feedback, taking their curriculum, and seeing how we can ensure that we give the most affordable and most talented human resources for them. 'And this programme is just not catering to the local ecosystem, we are catering to the global ecosystem also,' Kharge noted. He said Karnataka retains its lead over others, and data ranging from IT exports to startups and GCCs play, underscores its competitive strengths. 'We are far ahead of the curve when it comes to our neighbours or neighbouring states. So, while we love competition, we are not afraid of it. It also helps us pull up our socks,' he said. As many as 20,000 startups are registered with the state government, he said, adding that of 110 unicorns, more than 45 are from Bengaluru. 'We contribute 21 per cent of the national bioeconomy, and 65 per cent of defence electronics manufacturing happens in Karnataka. And GCCs, we have close to over 800 GCCs and their units, totalling about 1,500,' Kharge said. The same trend is evident in office space demand, real estate leasing, and GCC momentum. 'Last year, we gobbled up close to around 47 per cent of the entire country's real estate for GCCs. This year, just in the last six months, 13.1 million square feet has been given only for GCCs. So, where is the competition? I don't see that,' Kharge said. The minister emphasised that the state's policies are backed by strong, actionable outcomes like the recent Quantum Roadmap. 'We are just not announcing mere policies for the sake of announcing them. So, when we keep the Karnataka quantum roadmap in front, people believe us…That is because over the years, we have managed to build a strong foundation of skills. 'We have topped that with incubators, and we have topped up with centres of excellence across sectors. So, I run more than 25 centres of excellence from agritech to space tech. And through these, we are innovating and inventing. On top of that, we have put budgets. On top of that, we put policies,' Kharge said.
