Poco F7 and Poco F7 Ultra India launch teased, Flipkart availability confirmed
Poco has officially begun teasing the arrival of its next-generation smartphones in India, with the Poco F7 and Poco F7 Ultra expected to launch soon. The brand hinted at the upcoming launch through a new post on X (formerly Twitter), and a dedicated Flipkart microsite now confirms that the new F series models will be available on the e-commerce platform. Poco F7 and Ultra variant may launch together in India
While the global variants of the Poco F7 Pro and Ultra were launched earlier in March, India is now expected to receive the base Poco F7 and the F7 Ultra variant. Previous teasers from Poco India Chief Himanshu Tandon had confirmed the Ultra's upcoming launch in the country.
The Poco F7 Ultra is likely to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera, and a 5,300mAh battery, similar to its global counterpart.
Meanwhile, the Indian variant of the Poco F7 could offer a larger 7,550mAh battery, compared to the 6,550mAh battery in the global version. It is also expected to come with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, a 50-megapixel dual rear camera, and a 6.83-inch 1.5K flat LTPS OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. F7 may be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro
The upcoming Poco F7 is reportedly a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which launched in China earlier this year. Notably, while the Poco F7 Pro has already been introduced in select global markets, it is not expected to launch in India at this time.
Although full specifications are yet to be officially revealed, the Flipkart listing and ongoing teasers suggest that Poco is preparing for a dual-launch event in India, with both the F7 and Ultra models possibly debuting on the same day.

Did Donald Trump Delete His X Post on India Tariffs? Explained
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 30, 2025, 23:40 IST Former U.S. President Donald Trump stirred global headlines earlier this week when he announced a 25% tariff on Indian imports, along with a penalty for India's continued purchases of Russian oil and military equipment. The announcement, initially made on X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social, triggered sharp reactions across diplomatic and financial circles—including a sell-off in Indian markets. However, many users have since noticed that the post is no longer visible on Trump's X account, prompting questions about whether the former president had second thoughts or was responding to backlash. Yes, Trump's X Post Was Deleted—But It Still Exists on Truth Social While the original message appears to have been deleted from X, it remains fully visible and unaltered on Trump's Truth Social account. In the post, Trump doubled down on his stance, accusing India of exploiting trade imbalances and deepening its ties with Russia, especially in defense and energy sectors. Here's the full text of Trump's post on Truth Social: 'Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country. Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE — ALL THINGS NOT GOOD! INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. MAGA!' Why It Matters The post clearly outlines Trump's reasoning for the punitive trade action , citing India's high tariffs , non-monetary barriers , and Russia alignment . The deletion from X could be an attempt to moderate the message across wider audiences, while retaining it on Truth Social —Trump's preferred communication platform for his base. The tariff policy, which Trump says will take effect from August 1, is expected to hit Indian exports in critical sectors like pharmaceuticals, IT services, apparel, and auto parts. What's Next There has been no official response from the Indian government, but internal consultations are reportedly underway. The situation has created uncertainty around U.S.-India trade relations, and it remains unclear whether Trump's comments will translate into formal policy—especially as he is a presidential candidate, not currently in office. Nonetheless, the markets are reacting. The GIFT Nifty saw a sharp dip following the initial announcement, and investor sentiment remains cautious. Conclusion: While Trump did delete the tariff post from X, his position remains unchanged—and fully public—on Truth Social. The rhetoric signals a tough stance that could have implications not only for India-U.S. trade but also for the broader geopolitical balance ahead of the 2024 U.S. election.

Fed Holds Rates Steady at 4.25%–4.5%
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 30, 2025, 23:42 IST In a widely expected move, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept the federal funds rate unchanged at 4.25%–4.5% for the fifth consecutive meeting, as officials continue to assess inflation dynamics and global trade tensions. The decision by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) came with a rare twist: for the first time since 1993, two Fed governors dissented, advocating for a rate cut instead of maintaining the status quo. Muted Market Reaction Initial market response was restrained: Stocks held onto earlier gains Treasury yields remained elevated The U.S. dollar remained firm amid higher-than-expected GDP data and steady inflation readings Attention now turns to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference, where markets are hoping for clarity on whether the central bank will consider easing rates at the September meeting. Economic Data and Trump's Pressure Ahead of the Fed's announcement, President Donald Trump had publicly urged the central bank to cut rates immediately. Citing better-than-expected GDP figures, Trump wrote on social media: 'Growth came in stronger than anyone predicted — we need rate cuts now!' New data released Wednesday showed the U.S. economy expanded by 3% in the second quarter (April–June), rebounding from a contraction in Q1. Core inflation also ticked slightly higher, reinforcing the Fed's cautious approach while giving Treasury yields a boost. Global Tensions Loom Beyond domestic economics, Trump's policy announcements added complexity to the Fed's calculus. Just hours before the FOMC statement, Trump confirmed the U.S. would impose a 25% tariff on Indian imports starting August 1, citing India's continued purchase of Russian energy and military equipment. He also warned of a 'penalty' on top of the tariff, escalating tensions with one of America's key trading partners. The announcement rattled currency markets, sending the Indian rupee sharply lower against the U.S. dollar. What's Next? With inflation still above the Fed's 2% target and geopolitical risks rising, the central bank faces a delicate balancing act. Powell's post-meeting remarks will be closely analyzed for signs of any policy pivot ahead of the September meeting. Bottom line: The Fed is holding steady—for now. But global pressure, political interference, and fresh inflation data could soon tip the scales.

How to Track Your Sun Exposure With This New App
Facing down a heat wave this summer? There's a new beta app for iPhones from the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, that helps you track your exposure to the sun. The Sun Day app is free to testers and contains information like sunrise, sunset and UV index in order to assess your potential burn-limit time and, as the app description says, "track your Vitamin D from the sun." Dorsey is currently testing UI updates and a solar noon notification, according to the app notes. In the app, you can describe the type of clothing you're wearing, such as shorts and T-shirts or swimwear, and your Fitzpatrick skin type, which classifies how quickly you'll burn. The iOS app asks permission to connect to some Apple Health data when the app is installed. Dorsey also recently released Bitchat, a private messaging client that uses Bluetooth as its communication platform. Although it's meant to be a secure, private app, some users have flagged Bitchat for potential security flaws that are still being tested. How to test the Sun Day app If you've got an iOS device, download the Sun Day TestFlight app from the App Store and then follow the link to the app for Sun Day to join the beta test. The effectiveness of an app such as Sun Day depends on giving it accurate information about your skin type and clothing, and while vitamin D levels are one way to gauge UV exposure, it's not foolproof given that some people also take vitamin D supplements. "Jack Dorsey's new app Sun Day is exciting, not to detect vitamin D levels but really to help us understand our UV index which is so important in sun safety," said Tanya Kormeili, an LA-based dermatologist. "The app does have an interesting promise as far as I am concerned, in that using the UV index can show you the risk for the level of UV exposure." The risks of too much sun exposure include sunburns, aging skin and skin cancer. Tracking UV levels is one way to help mitigate those risks. People tend to think about sun exposure and protections like sunscreen most during the summer, when the sun is strongest and the days are long, and when you're heading to the beach or out gardening, golfing or otherwise getting in quality sun time. But there is always a risk of sun damage to your skin while you're outside -- year round. "Sometimes it is hard for patients to be convinced that there can be an excessive UV risk on a cloudy day," Kormeili says. "The app would provide an objective measure of that UV index and guide you in safer sun practices." The dermatologist suggests that Dorsey putting the app out for public consumption without medical experts endorsing it might be a missed opportunity. "I am surprised that they have not involved actual dermatologists in pointing out the true value and limitations of this app," she said.
