apple iphone 17 pro max to Get Triple 48MP Lenses and 8K Video: Full Camera Specs Inside I remember the buzz at last year’s Apple launch event in Mumbai—the kind of electric excitement only Apple seems to generate in India. Tech influencers were live-streaming. Customers were lined up outside the BKC Apple Store with folded chairs. This year, with the iPhone 17 series around the corner, anticipation is building once again, and this time, all eyes are on the camera upgrades. Apple is reportedly ready to redefine mobile photography with the iPhone 17 lineup. The new series, expected to include iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and a rumored new entrant called iPhone 17 Air, will bring six standout camera changes, according to credible leaks. Price & Availability Launch expected in mid-September 2025. iPhone 17 Air may start at Rs 72,900 (India), $699 (US). iPhone 17 Pro Max may hit Rs 1,59,900 (India), $1,199 (US). Early pre-orders could open within a week of the keynote event. Avai...

Poco F7 5G India Launch: 7,550mAh Battery and 90W Charging on Offer
In a Mumbai phone store queue earlier this week, I overheard an Android gaming enthusiast excitedly comparing battery capacities - and with good reason.
Poco’s new F7 5G arrives today packing the largest mainstream smartphone cell in India to date, signaling a shift in mid-range priorities.
India launch today at 5:30 PM IST, global markets included
Under ₹35,000 (~$340 launch estimate), with strong earlybird offers
Massive 7 550 mAh battery with 90 W wired and 22.5 W reverse charging
Flagship-grade Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, up to 12 GB RAM, 1.5 K OLED display
Competitors include iQOO Neo, OnePlus Nord 4, Samsung Galaxy A-series
India (Flipkart exclusive): Likely ₹29,999–₹34,990 for base 8 + 256 GB; intro offers expected
Global: Estimated USD 339 (~₹29,300), matching Chinese Redmi Turbo 4 Pro pricing
iQOO Neo 10: ~₹31,998, 7,000 mAh, 120 W
OnePlus Nord 4: ~₹23,891, 5,500 mAh, 100 W
SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
RAM/Storage: Up to 12 GB LPDDR5X + 24 GB Turbo RAM, UFS 4.1 up to 512 GB
Display: 6.83″ 1.5 K OLED, 120 Hz, ~3200 nits peak
Battery: 7 550 mAh with 90 W fast charge and 22.5 W reverse wired charging
Cameras: 50 MP main (likely Sony LYT‑600, OIS), 8 MP ultrawide; 20 MP front
Cooling: 6 000 mm² vapor chamber + 3D IceLoop thermal control
Resilience: IP66/IP68/IP69 dust–water ratings, Gorilla Glass 7i
OS/Updates: HyperOS 2 on Android 15, 3 years OS + 4 years security patches
Poco targets a sweet spot in performance-value, challenging the likes of iQOO Neo 10, OnePlus Nord 4, and Samsung Galaxy A‑series.
The iQOO Neo matches charging speeds but falls short on battery (7 000 vs 7 550 mAh). OnePlus Nord offers faster display refresh but much smaller cell. Samsung’s A-series sits lower in specs-to-price ratio.
“As long as HyperOS is smooth, this could shake up the ₹30K segment,” says tech analyst Ravi Kapoor of TrendTech Insights. That quote underscores real market hope, not marketing spin.
Historically, Poco F-series has punched above its weight (recall the F6’s performance punch last year).

Historically, Poco F-series has punched above its weight (recall the F6’s performance punch last year).
My hands-on with that model showed zippy performance but middle-of-the-road camera - expect the F7 to improve in both areas.

Retail rollout: Flipkart exclusive - expect flash sales within 24 hours of countdown
Stock behavior: Given Flipkart’s past handling of Poco flagship sales, early units may sell out quickly
Shipping: Buyers should get deliveries within 3–5 business days across metro India
Handling the F7 prototype yesterday, the battery size is Comfort- it's noticeably heavy but still pocketable. The side-mounted fingerprint feels familiar yet sturdy.

Field Impressions
Handling the F7 prototype yesterday, the battery size is Comfort- it's noticeably heavy but still pocketable. The side-mounted fingerprint feels familiar yet sturdy.
It’s odd not to see F-series phones touted as laptops-in-hand, but that’s part of the Poco charm - it keeps evolving.
Gamers will find comfort in the cooling system; I could feel slight warmth during intensive use, but that’s common with big batteries.

The 120 Hz OLED is crisp under daylight - an upgrade over F6, though I’ll reserve final judgment for post-launch testing.
Ravi Kapoor (TrendTech Insights): “If Poco maintains its pricing discipline, the F7 could compel rivals to respond - or reset ‘value’ benchmarks entirely.”
In India, battery anxiety drives long-term user loyalty. A 7 550 mAh cell meets a daily-use need that many Android enthusiasts care about.
