The smartphone market is heading for its worst year ever.
IDC expects global smartphone shipments to plunge 16.7% in 2026 to just over 1 billion units - the steepest annual decline on record.
And the reason? The memory crisis. 📉
• DRAM & NAND costs: +300%+ YoY
• Average smartphone price: $581, +27.6%
• Sub-$100 phones are disappearing
• Android shipments: -24.3%
• iOS share rises to a record 23.6%
• Foldables are the only segment still growing: +12.6%
Ironically, the smartphone market is shrinking while its total value is rising to $613B.

GTA VI could launch at just 30 FPS on PS5.
Reports from influencers who visited Rockstar North claim the game is targeting 30 FPS on PS5, with no confirmed higher-FPS mode for PS5 Pro yet.
The reason? GTA VI is pushing physics, AI, world density and visuals to the limit.

Big update: Android apps are finally going to be lighter and faster!
- Big AI servers are taking all the memory chips, so upcoming budget phones will launch with less RAM.
- To stop these phones from hanging, Google is making strict rules on how much memory apps can use.
- App developers have time till February 2027 to fix their apps so they run smoothly on less RAM.
The days of heavy, unoptimized apps slowing down our smartphones may finally be over.

Google Tensor G6 (featured on the Pixel 11 Series) Performance Evaluation:
The Performance of the CPU is similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (launched back in 2023) & it's slightly below the level of A17 Pro of the same Iteration.
The Performance of the GPU is similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (launched back in 2022) & beats the A16's GPU by a small Margin of the same Iteration.
It's far below the level of Performance offered by Snapdragon, Apple & Mediatek of the current generation if compared. Even if it's compared against the Previous Generation it's still a long way to go for the Tensor. The New Generation is just around the corner & the Gap will widen even more.
