Samsung Galaxy A07 and A17 get more certifications, F17 shows up in support pages

GSM Arena2 days ago
Samsung is currently working on a bunch of entry-level smartphones - the Galaxy A07, A17, and F17. The Galaxy A07 has just been certified by NBTC in Thailand, while the A17 5G has received the GCF stamp of approval, both usual steps on the road to becoming official.
Neither of these certifications has revealed any specs, unfortunately. Meanwhile, the Galaxy F17 5G's support page has gone live on Samsung's regional websites for both India and Bangladesh, with the model number SM-E176B/DS.

The F17 5G is very likely to be a rebranded A17 5G, perhaps with a couple of minor spec changes here and there. And the Galaxy A07 will also spawn the M07 and F07, which will probably be very similar to it too.
Speaking of the A07, this one is rumored to come with the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC at the helm, while the A17 5G should get the Exynos 1380 and OIS support for its main camera. Both devices will apparently come with 6GB of RAM and will launch running Android 15, despite the fact that Android 16 is already out (then again, Samsung's One UI 8 based on it hasn't been finalized yet).

Here's when the tri-fold Huawei Mate XTs is coming and how much it should cost

Vlad, 30 July 2025 A few days ago some more details leaked regarding Huawei's upcoming successor to the Mate XT, the original tri-fold smartphone, which launched last year. Now, a new source purports to bring us the exact launch date for the Mate XTs, which is apparently what the new device will be called. It will allegedly be presented on September 12, which is the same week that Apple will launch the iPhone 17 family, according to a recent rumor. Huawei Mate XT That's interesting timing to say the least. If true, perhaps Huawei wants to steal some of Apple's thunder, so to speak, which it may very well succeed in doing inside China, where it reigns supreme. The Mate XTs is rumored to cost around CNY 20,000, which at the current exchange rates means $2,786 or €2,422. For reference, note that the original Mate XT started at CNY 19,999, so its successor will be priced about the same. The Mate XTs will compete head-on in the Chinese market with Samsung's upcoming tri-fold smartphone, which is going to be announced later this year and has been rumored to only launch in Korea and China at first. It remains to be seen what that model's pricing will be. Huawei Mate XT Ultimate 1TB 16GB RAM $ 4,600.20 Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 (in Chinese) | Via

Counterpoint: India's smartphone market boomed in Q2, iPhone 16 was the most-shipped phone

After a tepid Q1, India's smartphone market reached some record heights in Q2. The report from analysts over at Counterpoint Research has good news for every major company on the market. The wholesale value rose 18% in Q2 compared to the same period last year, this is the highest value ever seen in Q2. The ultra-premium segment – defined as phones over ₹45,000 – was the fastest growing segment and a major driver behind the strong Q2 results. This also resulted in the highest-ever Average Selling Price (ASP) for all smartphones in the Indian market. Apple and Samsung managed to make the most of that. India smartphone market in Q2 2025, volume share by brand Apple can celebrate the iPhone 16 as the most-shipped device in Q2. And it wasn't just that, this year Apple saw its highest-ever Q2 shipments in India. Rival Samsung had the biggest share (23%) of wholesale value. Samsung is second in terms of units shipped with strong demand for the Galaxy A and S series. Vivo (excluding iQOO) was the top brand by units shipped. It moved a lot of phones in the ₹10,000-₹15,000 range, mainly in the Y and T series. Third comes Oppo (excluding OnePlus) with strong demand for A and K series phones. OnePlus recorded a 75% growth year over year in the ultra-premium segment with the OnePlus 13 and 13R. Early indications show that the petite OnePlus 13s will be a hot seller too. Meanwhile, Realme expanded into the ultra-premium segment with the likes of the GT 7 series and especially the Aston Martin F1 co-branded Realme GT 7 Dream Edition, which attracted a lot of attention. India smartphone market in Q2 2025, wholesale value share by brand Motorola's G and Edge series pushed the company to an 86% growth in shipments, supported by an expanding retail network. In the sub-₹10,000 segment, Lava was the fastest-growing brand with a whopping 156% increase year over year. Counterpoint analysts credit the stock Android experience and improved after-sales service for the success of the brand. Nothing was the fastest-growing brand overall – for the sixth consecutive quarter! Nothing is the only brand to pull this off and its shipments grew an impressive 146% in Q2. The CMF Phone 2 Pro in particular is proving to be a hit. Finally, MediaTek remains the most popular chipset vendor in India with a 47% share of the market. However, Qualcomm is chasing – it grew 28% year over year and held 31% of the market in Q2.
