Middle East smartphone shipments jump 15% in Q2 2025: Canalys
Image: Getty Images/ For illustrative purposes Smartphone shipments in the Middle East, excluding Turkey, rose 15 per cent year-on-year to 13.2 million units in Q2 2025, the highest quarterly volume since Q2 2019, research firm The rebound followed a slow first quarter and was driven by value-conscious buyers, festive spending and solid economic momentum, Canalys Principal Analyst Manish Pravinkumar said. The region's growth outpaced all others globally, Canalys research showed. Samsung led the market with 4.5 million units shipped, up 39 per cent from a year earlier, helped by demand for its Galaxy A series 4G models and flagship S25 series. Read: HONOR nearly doubled its shipments to 1.3 million units, boosted by retail expansion in the Gulf, AI-focused products and aggressive promotions. Xiaomi shipped 2.3 million units, flat on the year, while TRANSSION grew 13 per cent to 2 million units. Apple was steady at 1.1 million units. Shipments by other brands fell 19 per cent to 1.9 million units. AI a driving factor in popularity of phones 'AI needs to be the backbone in all vendors' strategies in the Middle East, both to capture consumers' interest, channel traction and business opportunities,' added Pravinkumar. 'The region is quickly becoming a global AI hub, led by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which are deeply integrating AI into their national strategies. This is resulting in growing consumer interest, making it a vital component to capture users through eye-catching features and targeted influencer campaigns, and to match technological infrastructure investments that are being built and expanded. To win, vendors must combine advanced AI features, such as real-time translation, hyper-personalised recommendations and instant content creation, with strong creator partnerships to drive engagement, shape consumer preferences and convert influence into loyalty in an increasingly competitive market,' he added. Q2 2025 Middle East smartphone shipments (million units, excluding Turkey) Here's the table with Xiaomi's note included at the bottom: Vendor Q2 2025 Shipments (million) Q2 2025 Market Share Q2 2024 Shipments (million) Q2 2024 Market Share Annual Growth Samsung 4.5 34% 3.3 28% 39% Xiaomi 2.3 17% 2.3 20% 1% TRANSSION 2.0 15% 1.8 16% 13% HONOR 1.3 10% 0.7 6% 95% Apple 1.1 8% 1.1 10% 1% Others 1.9 15% 2.4 21% -19% Total 13.2 100% 11.5 100% 15% Note: Xiaomi includes sub-brands Redmi and POCO.

Rubrik Introduces Agent Rewind
Rubrik has announced the launch of Agent Rewind, following the close of Rubrik's acquisition of Predibase. Agent Rewind, powered by Predibase AI infrastructure, will enable organizations to undo mistakes made by agentic AI by providing visibility into agents' actions and enabling enterprises to rewind those changes to applications and data. 'As companies consider investing in AI, they often don't take into account the mistakes that AI agents can and will make,' said Johnny Yu, Research Manager at IDC. 'Agentic AI introduces the concept of 'non-human error,' and as with its human counterpart, organizations should explore solutions that allow them to correct potentially catastrophic mistakes made by agentic AI.' 'As AI agents gain autonomy and optimize for outcomes, unintended errors can lead to business downtime,' said Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik. 'Agent Rewind integrates Predibase's advanced AI infrastructure with Rubrik's recovery capabilities to enable enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently. Today's organizations will now have a clear process to trace, audit, and safely rewind undesired AI actions.' AI agents possess significant potential, yet, like humans, they are prone to mistakes that result in unintended business disruption. Recent incidents of AI agent errors highlight a spectrum of situations ranging from technical malfunctions and legal issues to even the deletion of entire production databases. A recent study found that AI agents are frequently becoming disoriented, choosing incorrect shortcuts, and struggling to complete even simple multi-step tasks, revealing critical flaws that undermine their reliability and effectiveness. Agent Rewind makes previously opaque AI actions visible, auditable, and reversible, creating an audit trail and immutable snapshots that facilitate safe rollback. Current observability tools only show what happened, but not why or how to reverse high-risk actions. 'Agent Rewind will close the loop on what happened, why it happened, and how to undo it,' said Chad Pallett, Chief Information Security Officer at BioIVT, a global research partner and biospecimen solutions provider for drug and diagnostic development. 'When using AI, there is a need for observability and secure rollback. Rubrik and Predibase will provide not just data safety and model speed, but also AI recoverability. In a market craving true observability and remediation, Agent Rewind is the answer I've been waiting for.' When AI goes awry, Agent Rewind offers: Context-Enriched Visibility: Surfaces agent behavior, tool use, and impact while contextualizing each action, mapping it back to its root cause – from prompts to plans to tools – to enable precise recovery when something goes wrong. Surfaces agent behavior, tool use, and impact while contextualizing each action, mapping it back to its root cause – from prompts to plans to tools – to enable precise recovery when something goes wrong. Safe Rollback: Uses Rubrik Security Cloud to rewind what changed, whether that's files, databases, configurations, or repositories. Uses Rubrik Security Cloud to rewind what changed, whether that's files, databases, configurations, or repositories. Broad Compatibility: Will integrate seamlessly with a wide range of platforms, APIs, and agent builders, including Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and Amazon Bedrock Agents, and will be compatible with any custom AI agent.

Samsung secures $16.5bn deal to manufacture Tesla's AI6 chips in Texas
Samsung Electronics has secured a significant contract with Tesla, valued at $16.5 billion, to produce the electric vehicle manufacturer's next-generation AI6 chips. The chips will be manufactured at Samsung's advanced fabrication facility in Taylor, Texas, marking a pivotal development in both companies' strategic plans. The eight-year agreement, confirmed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, is set to commence in 2025 and extend through 2033. This deal represents a substantial commitment from Tesla to Samsung's foundry capabilities, particularly as the semiconductor industry faces increasing demand for advanced chips. The AI6 chips are designed to power Tesla's Full Self-Driving systems, the Optimus humanoid robot, and future robotaxi fleets. This move follows Tesla's decision to discontinue its in-house Dojo supercomputer project, redirecting focus towards optimized chip design and external partnerships for AI infrastructure. ADVERTISEMENT Samsung's Taylor facility, supported by $6.4 billion in U. S. CHIPS Act funding, will utilize the company's 2-nanometer process technology to manufacture the AI6 chips. This collaboration aims to enhance Samsung's foundry business, which has faced challenges in recent years, and to position the company as a competitive player in the advanced semiconductor market. While the deal is a strategic win for Samsung, it also presents challenges. The production of 2nm chips is complex, and achieving high yield rates is critical. Additionally, the financial terms of the contract suggest that Samsung may initially operate at a loss, viewing the deal as an investment in long-term growth and industry positioning. The partnership with Tesla is expected to bolster Samsung's position in the global semiconductor industry, particularly in competition with Taiwan's TSMC, a dominant player in the foundry market. The success of this venture will depend on the effective scaling of production capabilities and the ability to meet Tesla's stringent performance requirements.
