We assumed the launch event could thus be scheduled for the same day and it wouldn't be that out of the ordinary given Samsung's recent tendency to push unveilings forward compared to previous years.

Some won’t even have to wait until next month – the first phones to get HyperOS 2 will be the Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro, which will get it later this month. And they are not alone either, the regular Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra will also make the jump this month, as will the Xiaomi 13T Pro (but not...

Samsung's struggles with Exynos might lead to the company outsourcing chip production. According to one leakster, the Korean company is considering TSMC as an external manufacturing partner, and later, the rumor was backed by a former Qualcomm employee, currently an industry analyst. If proven to be true, the rumor is likely regarding future Exynos products. The Exynos 2500 is still happening, despite reports of low initial yields.
