Poco F7 to launch in India later this month: Here's what we know so far
Xiaomi sub-brand Poco on Friday, June 6, announced that it will be launching the Poco F7 in India sometime later this month. The news comes from the Indian e-commerce giant Flipkart, which recently put up a special microsite for the upcoming phone. The Flipkart page does not give away the launch date, but the URL does mention that the phone will be coming sometime this month. As of now, not much is known about the smartphone, but several leaks and rumours have hinted that the smartphone will likely be based on the China-exclusive Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. The Poco F7 is rumoured to be powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the mid-range chipset with flagship-like performance that made its debut on the iQOO Neo 10. This will likely be accompanied by a huge 6.83-inch flat LTPO AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution and 1,800 nits of brightness. If the Poco F7 is the same as the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, the device will most likely come with HyperOS 2 based on Android 15 and have an optical in-display fingerprint scanner. Coming to the camera, the Poco F7 is rumoured to have a vertically aligned elliptical camera island that houses a Sony LYT-600 50MP primary camera in addition to an 8MP ultrawide shooter. Since this is a performance oriented device, it looks like the phone will be missing out on a telephoto shooter. The phone is also rumoured to come with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage and will be backed by a 7,550mAh Silicon Carbon battery that changes at 90W. However, it is unlikely to get wireless charging support. While the Chinese variant comes in three colourways – Black, White and Green, it is unclear if these colour options will find their way to India. Like its predecessor, the Poco F7 will be priced somewhere between Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000, but we will have to wait to know more.

Adidas China Holds A 'Pet Day' With Employees In Line With Their Exclusive Pet Collection Launch
Our furbabies are what some people might call a god-sent companion that is equally the perfect company and a whole lot of cuteness. Some pet parents go to lengths to shower their pets with the best the world has to offer, with high-class meals or designer brands. The three-stripe brand has always been at the pinnacle of its marketing strategy, utilising anything and everything at its disposal. Yesterday (Sunday, 18th May 2025), Adidas launched its China-exclusive pet collection with its first ever 'Adidas Pet Day', where more than 50 employees attended with their furbabies at the Shanghai Rock Park Campground. The event featured multiple activities, such as pet sports activities with an interactive open sports area decorated with mazes and a human-sized pickleball court. The highlight of the event featured the adorable fashion show, where their newly launched pet collection went on display with the help of some puppies. The collection features a line of premium pet bags, clothes, as well as collars designed in the sports Adidas fashion. Wu Liang, Senior Director of Corporate Public Relations and Sustainability of Adidas China, comments, 'We have observed that in recent years, with the evolution of the lifestyle of the younger generation, more and more young employees have pets. By holding a Pet Day, we hope to create an exclusive 'clover time' for employees and pets, allowing people to share happiness with pets and shape a more dynamic corporate culture.' The 'Adidas Pet Day' not only provides employees with a pet-loving social platform but also brings innovative solutions to the heightening interest of urban pet living, paired with the need for high-quality pet products. The exclusive Adidas Pet Collection will be available only at the Shanghai Anfu Road Adidas Flagship store on 20th May 2025. Source: China News Alyssa Gabrielle contributed to this article

Chery launching yet another brand, this one at the expense of Chinese Land Rovers
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will end production of Land Rovervehicles in China to make room for a new auto brand called Freelander, springing from its joint venture with Chery. And while Freelander will start off as a China-exclusive brand, it's set to eventually go global. That'll see it vie for buyers' attention alongside Chery brands such as Jaecoo, Omoda, iCar/iCaur, Exeed, Exlantix, Jetour and Lepas. After JLR announced the Freelander brand last June, more details have come to light courtesy of a recent earnings call as well as reports from Autocar and Automotive News Europe. JLR will end production of its Jaguar XEL and XFL sedans and the E-Pace SUV at the Chery Jaguar Land Rover plant in Changshu, China in September, before production of the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport ends there towards the end of 2026. The British automaker, whose parent company is India's tata Motors, had previously announced it would build Freelander EVs alongside existing Chery Jaguar Land Rover vehicles in Changshu. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Freelander's debut model will reportedly enter production in China in late 2026 with plug-in hybrid (PHEV) power, followed by battery-electric (EV) and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) variants. The PHEV could feature the Super Hybrid System used in vehicles like the Omoda 9. In the UK-spec model, this combines a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors, a 34.5kWh battery, and a three-speed transmission for total system outputs of 330kW and 700Nm. The Omoda 9 is claimed to do the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.9 seconds, while claimed electric-only range is 150km on the WLTP cycle. Freelander SUVs may also offer decent off-road ability, judging by Chery's efforts under the Jetour and iCar brands, but be will likely be positioned as more premium vehicles than, for example, Chery-branded products. The first Freelander SUV will be based on Chery's T1X platform, which underpins a raft of vehicles from the Chinese automaker ranging from the small Omoda 3 up to the large Chery Tiggo 9L (above). But while underneath it'll be pure Chery, the Freelander SUV's exterior styling – which Autocar reports will blend a combination of chunky off-road and sporty coupe SUV design cues – will be penned by JLR chief creative officer Gerry McGovern, who helped design the original Land Rover Freelander. With a more rakish silhouette than the old Land Rover Freelander, the debut model under the new brand may stand out better against existing Chery models like the blocky Jaecoo J7 (pictured above) and JLR models like the upcoming 'baby' Defender Sport. Other Freelander models will follow, and JLR has previously said they'll be set apart from not only other Chery brands but also JLR's global 'House of Brands' portfolio, which currently comprises the Range Rover, Defender, Discovery and Jaguar brands. Autocar reports Freelander will launch in the UK before the end of the decade, which almost certainly means right-hand drive production – and therefore means an Australian launch is possible. The Chery Jaguar Land Rover joint venture was established in 2012, but sales of its vehicles have slumped in recent years as competition – particularly from domestic brands – has gotten tougher in that market. As with automakers like Audi, Mazda, Nissan and Volkswagen, JLR is using a Chinese partner to develop a vehicle that it will sell under one of its own established names. Freelander vehicles will also be sold via Chery-run dealerships in China. The original Land Rover Freelander was offered for two generations between 1997 and 2015, with more than 300,000 units sold globally over the course of its life. The Freelander was only offered in a three-door body style in its first generation, which was replaced in 2006, and then eventually succeeded by the Range Rover Evoque in 2011. Five-door versions were effectively replaced by the Discovery Sport in 2015.
