Poco X8 Pro may have already been certified
The Poco X7 and X7 Pro debuted back in January, and the brand is apparently already working on the X8 Pro. This device may have just received its EEC certification, with the model number 2511FPC34G. This model number has recently been spotted in an IMEI database as belonging to the Poco X8 Pro, which will be a rebranded version of the upcoming China-exclusive Redmi Turbo 5, that one bearing the model number 2511FRT34C. If all of this pans out, then the Poco X8 Pro should be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 SoC, and it should boast a 6.67-inch OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution. A metal frame and an overall thin and light build will also be in. Those are unfortunately all the details we have right now, but we'll let you know when we find out more. It's unclear if this very early certification indicates that the Poco X8 Pro will launch less than 12 months after its predecessor or not. Xiaomi Poco X7 Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro Via

Samsung may have developed a way to keep the Exynos 2600 cooler
This week we've seen the Exynos 2600 post impressive results on Geekbench and 3DMark. Reports from Korea claim that Samsung has developed a cool new trick for this chip – a Heat Pass Block (HPB) that promises to cool the application processor (AP) better than previous approaches. A 'chipset' is just that – several chips, usually arranged in a package-on-package structure, which places the RAM on top of the application processor (this is the silicon die that holds the CPU, GPU, NPU and other components). The Heat Pass Block adds another layer to that stack – a copper heat sink. This is similar to the heat spreaders that are typical in modern designs. Heat spreaders, however, are added after the package-on-package structure has been assembled. The advantage of the HPB is that it is much closer to the source of the heat, which should allow it to pull heat away more efficiently. An example of package-on-package stacking, without an HPB The Exynos 2600 will be fabbed on Samsung's 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process and is expected to ship with the Galaxy S26 series. We wouldn't be surprised to see a Snapdragon chip in some or all Galaxy S26 Ultras. However, whether the other S26 models get the Z Flip7 treatment (Exynos in all markets) or whether chip selection varies by market remains to be seen. Samsung is expected to complete quality testing of the Exynos 2600 and should officially unveil the chip around the same time. The Galaxy S26 series should be out in late January or early February.

Apple closes a store for the first time in the biggest smartphone market on Earth
Another day, another thing that has never happened before: 2025 rocks (so far). Apple has many stores across China, and that's only natural, since that's where the largest smartphone market has been in recent years. Now, Apple has decided to close one of its emblematic stores in China. Apple is set to close one of its retail stores in Dalian (northeastern China) on August 9, as reports read, highlighting that Cupertino has been in China from 2008 onwards. The soon-to-be closed store is located in Parkland Mall, and it's being shut down due to a broader decline in the mall's foot traffic. Other brands (like Michael Kors and Armani) have also left. The report claims that this move reflects broader challenges in China's economy, where consumer spending remains weak despite government efforts to boost consumption through trade-in programs and subsidies for items like smartphones and electric is also facing mounting pressure in China, its second-largest market, as local competitors such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Vivo continue to eat into its market share. The company's sales in China have been falling for six straight quarters, with revenue dropping nearly 10 percent last year compared to its 2022 the closure, Apple will maintain a presence in Dalian through another store and plans to open a new store in Shenzhen this month. With the addition, Apple expects to end 2025 with the same number of retail locations in China – 58 – as it started the year. Image by PhoneArena While Apple faces a slowdown in sales, domestic brands continue to gain momentum. Huawei, in particular, reclaimed the top spot in China's smartphone rankings during the second quarter of 2025, shipping 12.2 million units and capturing 18% of the market, according to research firm Canalys. Huawei's return to the top comes despite an overall dip in smartphone sales across the Chinese brands also posted strong numbers: Vivo took second place with 11.8 million units, followed by Oppo and Xiaomi. Apple, though still in the top five, came in last among the group with a 15% market share – roughly 10.1 million units – placing it behind its local competitors. So, one store opens, another is going to be shut down: but locals grab iPhones less and less. That doesn't worry me a bit. The big question is: how can people outside of China grab a hold of Chinese phones? Brands often release top-shelf models only for the Chinese market, and that's a shame.
