After Xiaomi and realMe, contract manufacturer Optiemus bags order from OnePlus
NEW DELHI: After Xiaomi and RealMe, another top Chinese electronics provider OnePlus has outsourced the production of its audio and internet-of-things (IoT) products to a local Indian contract manufacturer. The announcement comes as India pushes the production of hi-tech electronics products in the country amidst the US tariff war with China. Optiemus Electronics will be making the products at its factory in Noida, which is in line with OnePlus' plan to localise production in the country. For Optiemus, this is the third such deal after it scored a similar partnership with other Chinese players Xiaomi as well as RealMe previously. 'The strategic partnership aligns with OnePlus' long-term vision for India and the recent project Starlight commitment to strengthen localisation efforts in the region. OnePlus is extending efforts towards expanding its local manufacturing capabilities and has now begun manufacturing its IoT portfolio of products in the Noida-based facility, in addition to its existing smartphones range being made in India,' the Chinese company said. Ashok Gupta, Chairman of Optiemus Group said the collaboration marks a significant step in expanding its electronics manufacturing footprint. 'We specialize in transforming ideas into reality, and this partnership empowers us to manufacture high-quality IoT products. Together, we will continue to explore new frontiers and remain committed to playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of electronics manufacturing in India,' Gupta said. Robin Liu, CEO of OnePlus India, said the partnership with Optiemus reflects the company's commitment to Project Starlight. 'This collaboration is not just about technology— it's about empowering local communities, creating meaningful innovation, and bringing smarter, more connected experiences to our India community." OnePlus' key IoT offerings include TWS products and wireless neckbands. In April this year, Chinese realme had also partnered Optiemus to manufacture its next-generation AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) products in India, which include earphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The deal saw Optiemus and realme manufacture five million AIoT devices annually while generating over 2,000 new employment opportunities in the country.

Poco F7 Set to Launch in India on June 24 with Big Battery and Fast Chip
The Poco F7 will launch in India on June 24, 2025. Before the official launch, new leaks have shared some important details, including the possible price. A well-known source, Yogesh Brar, says the phone might cost between ₹30,000 and ₹35,000. Poco has not confirmed this yet, but the price matches what they charged for earlier models like the F6, F5, and F4. Poco usually sells its F-series phones as fast and powerful models at lower prices. Since other brands like iQOO and OnePlus also have strong phones under ₹35,000, Poco is likely to keep the F7 affordable. Battery and Charging The Poco F7 phone is already listed on Flipkart. One features that is making people talk about this phone is its huge 7,550mAh battery. Being touted as one of the biggest battery ever in an Indian smartphone, Poco says the battery can last for more than 2 days with normal use. The phone uses new battery technology called silicon-carbon, which helps it support 90W fast charging. It also has 22.5W reverse charging, meaning you can use it to charge other devices like a power bank. If this is true, the Poco F7 will overtake phones like the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4 in terms of battery size. But it's still not clear if the phone will feel heavy or bulky because of the big battery. Speed and Performance The Poco F7 is expected to come with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor by Qualcomm. A test on Geekbench (a website for phone speed scores) shows the phone may have this chip and 12GB of RAM in one version. This chip is made for fast performance. In tests, it seems to work almost as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is found in top-end phones. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 focuses more on multi-core speed, meaning it can handle many apps or tasks at once. But since it skips small energy-saving cores, it may not save as much battery. If Poco keeps the price around ₹30,000, this phone could be one of the fastest in its price range. Display, Storage, and Camera The Poco F7 might actually be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which came out in China. If that's true, the F7 will have a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and IP68 rating, which means it's water and dust resistant. The phone may offer up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. For photos, the leaks say it could have a 50MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, and a 20MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Final Thoughts With the launch happening soon, fans will find out how much of this is true. If the price and features are as good as the leaks suggest, the Poco F7 could be a great option for anyone looking for a powerful phone at a mid-range price.
