Mobile Hardware Leaks & Launches

While initial speculation focused on the mid-range successor, live images of the Honor 600 Pro surfaced shortly after several renders leaked last month, suggesting an imminent unveiling despite the current Honor 500 series remaining exclusive to the Chinese market. Concurrently, Xiaomi confirmed the A7 Pro 5G debut for India next week, equipping the budget device with an expansive 6,300mAh battery capacity to appeal to emerging markets, following its quiet rollout in regions like Indonesia and Italy.

Platform & Service Sunset

Samsung announced the discontinuation of its proprietary Samsung Messages application, setting a firm July deadline for the shutdown of the default SMS client found on its smartphones.
