Welcome to the end of week 25. Let’s take a look back.

It appears that Samsung has amassed around 50 million unsold smartphones. Reportedly, most of the blame lies with Serie A, which fails to meet its sales targets for one reason or another. 50 million is about 18% of Samsung’s planned shipping target this year, which is not good at all. Samsung produced around 20 million units per month earlier this year, but in May they dropped to around 10 million. This could be a reaction to having too many units locked in inventory and seeing low demand. Lower demand also prompted Samsung to reduce supplier component orders by 30% to 70% from April to May.

The Poco F4 and X4 GT arrived with a Snapdragon 870 and a Dimensity 8100 respectively. Here’s a resume for the X4 GT: It has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD with a 144Hz, 8GB refresh rate. of RAM, a 5,080 mAh battery with 67 W charging and a triple camera: 64 MP wide, 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro.

The Poco F4 has a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED, 6GB or 8GB of RAM, a 4,500mAh battery with 67W charging, and the same triple camera setup.

The Poco X4 GT will be available on June 27 (Monday) through select retailers and the Poco official online store. Between June 27th and July 7th there will be an early bird discount of € 80 on the normal prices of € 380 for an 8 / 128GB unit and € 430 for an 8 / 256GB phone. Other dealers will soon offer the X4 GT.

The Poco F4 will soon be available in two configurations. The 6 / 128GB option will cost € 400, while the 8 / 256GB option will cost € 450. In India, the Poco F4 will be available via Flipkart (first sale on June 27) in three memory configurations: 6/128 GB for ₹ 28,000, 8/128 GB for ₹ 30,000 and 12/256 GB for ₹ 34,000.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 came out of China. Its price is € 59.99 although a special offer for the early bird brings the price down to € 49.99. Xiaomi Band 7 comes in a variety of color options with solid black, blue, ivory, orange, olive and pink silicone straps, as well as several camouflage and neon options. The NFC version of the Smart Band 7 will remain a China exclusive for now, although rumors suggest it will eventually hit global markets later in partnership with Mastercard.
