Apple and Samsung sued Xiaomi
Apple and Samsung have issued separate legal notices to Xiaomi for making disparaging comparisons between its own phones and those of its bigger rivals in advertisements in India.
Xiaomi came out with full-page print advertisements in March and April, directly targeting Apple's then latest smartphone model iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro with its cheap tablets and flagship and questioned if the iPhone was really the best.
Xiaomi adopted a similar strategy against Samsung on social media, directly hitting Galaxy A series. Not only smartphones, Xiaomi targeted Samsung’s LED televisions (TVs) as well in the similar manner. Subsequently, both Apple and Samsung served cease-and- desist notices to the Chinese company
As per IDC, Apple and Samsung command around 95% share of the smartphone market above 500$ while Xiaomi has less than 1%.

Yep, we will be straight this time... it's a total disappointment 🥀
We're fully aware that many of you were eagerly waiting for some positive news regarding the upcoming Pixel 10a - Google's final device within the newest Pixel's lineup.
However, it is now pretty much safe to say that it will be absolutely boring and disappointing...
So far, the most significant "upgrades" (🤡) are as follows:
• Tensor G4 🥀
• Same exact storage chips found in the Google Pixel 9a (UFS 3.1) 🕊
• No telephoto 💔
• 2000 nits display (200 nits brighter) 😭
• No Magic Cue (at this point)🙏
What are your thoughts on these "best upgrades on a Google Pixel phone yet"?
We should all feel a sense of pride for Google, after all 🥀
Another engineering Sample of Exynos 2600 appeared on Geekbench 6
Samsung Exynos 2600 is manufactured by Samsung Foundry on its 2nm process and it may power the Galaxy S26 series.
CPU:
• 1x Cortex- X930 @ 3.8GHz
• 3x Cortex- A730 @ 3.25GHz
• 6x Cortex- A730 @ 2.75GHz
Thus, a deca-core chip of 1+3+6 configuration. The most interesting part is that, all the cores are either medium or high performance cores, thus Exynos 2600 will completely ditch the useless little cores. Link: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/13551451

If you thought the icons, Dynamic Island, status bar, face unlocking animation weren’t enough, Xiaomi even copied Apple's safari browser elements in their own Mi browser.
Thankfully, Xiaomi cannot copy the Liquid glass cuz of skill issues, thus they copied the UI design and applied static colors (not even a blur 😭, such a horrible copy even after copying)
Conclusion: Its not just the icons, Xiaomi have also copied the inside elements of these apps. HyperOS 3 is literally a cheap iOS 2nd hand copy.

No Liquid Glass? No problem. HyperOS 3 copied the iOS 18 icons instead.
List of icons copied 1:1 from iOS includes -
• Dialer ✅
• Messages/ Chat ✅
• Email ✅
• Weather ✅
• Calendar ✅
• Folder ✅
• Settings ✅
HyperOS 3 devs got bored and discovered center alignment – now the clock suffers.
