Realme GT 7 Pro is going global on November 26, and we already established that it has a leading battery life. However, not everyone will benefit from the 6,500 mAh cell that goes 0 to 50% in 13 minutes - Realme is launching the phone in India with less capacity. The Amazon listing revealed that GT 7 Pro will have a 5,800 mAh capacity, about 10% less than the original. We spoke with Realme India representatives, who confirmed that the smaller capacity is real, not some Amazon fluke. When asked about the decision, they simply said this was due to “regulations” but failed to quote...

The iQOO 13, unveiled last month in China, will launch in India on December 3. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, and while one would expect the Indian model to share the rest of the specs with its Chinese counterpart, that's not the case because the Indian iQOO 13 will have a smaller battery under the hood. This revelation comes through iQOO 13's promo page on iQOO's Indian website, saying the iQOO 13 Indian variant will pack a 6,000 mAh battery instead of 6,150 mAh.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo called it – Apple is doing early manufacturing work on the iPhone 17 in a factory in India, not China, as has been the case in the past.
