Poco F7 is coming to India possibly in few weeks, here is everything we know about it
Just when you thought the mid-range smartphone market couldn't get any more crowded, Poco is ready to stir the pot again. The Xiaomi sub-brand has officially confirmed that its next big release – the Poco F7 – is heading to India later this month. While Flipkart's teaser page doesn't spill the beans on the exact launch date, the clues are there, hidden in plain sight, and the buzz is growing louder by the day. But what exactly is the Poco F7, and why is it getting so much attention before launch? Let's find out.
advertisementPoco F7 to launch soon Although Poco hasn't formally revealed the specifications just yet, leaks and informed whispers suggest that the F7 will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, a device currently limited to the Chinese market. The Indian version, if the rumours hold true, will likely mirror its Chinese sibling's feature set. And there's a lot to look forward to.
At the heart of the Poco F7 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, Qualcomm's newest mid-premium processor that delivers near-flagship performance. This is the same chip used in the recently launched iQOO Neo 10, and it's built to handle gaming, multitasking, and more without breaking a sweat.advertisement
The F7 is also tipped to boast a 6.83-inch flat LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 1,800 nits, making it ideal for binge-watching, scrolling and sunlit streaming. One of the most talked-about features is the 7,550mAh Silicon Carbon battery. It is expected to sport a 90W wired fast charger, which should refill the phone fairly quickly despite the massive battery size. But, there is no wireless charging, it seems.About the camera, the leaks suggest that the Poco F7 may sport a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary sensor, joined by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, which sounds decent. There's no word on the selfie camera yet, but if it follows the Redmi model, it'll likely be serviceable rather than standout.The Poco F7 is expected to ship with HyperOS 2, Xiaomi's latest Android-based interface, built over Android 15. While still in its early stages, HyperOS is expected to focus on improved performance, smoother animations and better resource management. In terms of internal hardware, the phone may come with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a whopping 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. That's the kind of combo usually reserved for flagship-tier devices. Security will likely be handled by an in-display optical fingerprint scanner, and dual stereo speakers are almost a given at this price point.Poco F7: Price and availabilityadvertisementThe Poco F7 will be available soon and is listed on Flipkart. While the Chinese variant comes in Black, White, and Green, it remains unclear which finishes will make their way to India. Poco could introduce new colours tailored to the Indian market or simply carry over the existing ones.As for the pricing, insiders suggest that the Poco F7 will fall between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000, much like its predecessor. If that's the case, it could offer serious value, undercutting competitors with similar specs.

‘We don't have any compulsion to go for IPO tomorrow'
Bengaluru-based media technology company Amagi, which has initiated an initial public offering (IPO) process recently, is now expanding into Japan, Australia, Latin America, France and Germany. In an interaction with Uma Kannan, Baskar Subramanian, CEO & Co-Founder of Amagi, says they are seeing a tremendous opportunity in front of them for the next 10 years where they can build extremely large media tech company in the world and that they don't have any compulsion to go public tomorrow. The company's annual revenue in FY24 stood at Rs 942 crore. Edited excerpts: You are a media SaaS unicorn and have been in the business for over 15 years now. What does the market look like? Our customers are TV channels, content creators, live producers, sports news, and anybody who is creating content in the mid-tier to large enterprises. We don't work with the creator economy and influencer economy today; we don't have any product portfolio for it, but we work with the larger mid to enterprise sort of customers. Fundamentally, the world is becoming streaming, and all of us are only watching on IP, internet devices, be it on our phone or connected television, what we call smart TV in India. This has changed things for our customers. One, it's fragmentation of viewership. In the early days of cable, you could go to one channel and always watch the content. Now there are so many places where people are consuming content, be it YouTube, Netflix, Prime, social platforms, connected TV devices to everywhere else and this is becoming a big challenge for the broadcasters and TV channels. This is very similar to what happened in the retail industry. Suddenly people are buying in supermarkets, e-commerce stores and now quick commerce. TV is now connected in every home in India. How are you looking at the Indian market? In India, we have clients, and the country has obviously dramatically changed, given 5G connections. Here we work with Samsung, whose many channels are coming to Samsung TV Plus with the back-end being Amagi. We work with the likes of Republic TV, Times Now and Zee television and provide OTT content. India is a growing market and we have now started to expand but the country is only very close to about a percentage (1%) of our revenue. So, we continue to have a big focus on the international markets with 70% revenue coming from the US. However, we are seeing India as a growing market and it will start to become bigger and bigger for us as we go forward. What are the market opportunities that you are seeing, and whether you have competitors in India as well as outside? We started in the US, expanded into Europe, and then in Asia, we started in Singapore. We are now expanding into Japan, Australia, Latin America, France, and Germany. It's a global market and we are seeing a tremendous opportunity in front of us for the next 10 years where we can build an extremely large, world-class media tech company in the world. Amagi's competition is all traditional hardware players. And we are the only company in the world that talks about a glass-to-glass complete end solution. It is reported that you are looking to raise Rs 3,200 crore through a public listing. Are you planning to hit an IPO soon? If we go for an IPO, we'll go in India. Going through the process, understanding and evaluating markets are very different. We don't know when we do it because timing matters in this industry. As a company, we don't have any compulsion to go for an IPO tomorrow. We are a profitable company, we have money in the bank and we have investors who came in 2022. So, the idea is that eventually we will have to be a public company. If the market is really good, then maybe by the end of the year (we will go for the IPO), or else next year.

Electric vehicles: Why change is needed and how to make it happen
By 2030, the penetration of EV sales would be 70 per cent of all new commercial cars, 30 per cent of private cars, 40 per cent of buses, and 80 per cent of two- and three wheelers Sunita Narain Listen to This Article There are three key reasons why countries need to electrify their vehicle fleet. One is climate change. The transport sector guzzles massive amounts of oil (petrol and diesel) and globally contributes roughly 15 per cent of annual carbon dioxide emissions. Zero-emission vehicles, or electric vehicles (EVs), replace oil with electricity, which is ideally generated in renewable-energy plants, and are seen as the solution. The second reason, which is more important for Indian cities, is that replacing petrol and diesel vehicles with zero-emission ones will reduce local pollution. And third: It will save us valuable foreign exchange because oil consumption will

An account of AI disruption in finance as technology reshapes work
OVER 50% of Indian accountants worry they are unable to develop skills due to frequently changing technology, according to a survey Avik Das Bengaluru Listen to This Article It's a profession of caution, measured approach and spreadsheets, but even here experts are being pushed to adapt to artificial intelligence (AI) or risk obsolescence. AI is taking over many tasks in finance and accountancy: from bookkeeping to reconciliations and tax compliance. Just as AI automated writing and testing codes in software engineering, the world of finance and accountancy and risk management is walking the same path with machines doing many of its tasks faster and better. It is a tectonic shift in a profession not known to move 'suddenly'. It involves changing the mindset of junior employees, senior executives
