Asus not releasing any new smartphones this year is a reminder that not every brand can keep up with the iPhone/Galaxy cycle. For wireless dealers, this is an inventory and sales opportunity: steer customers toward value upgrades (last-gen flagships and certified pre-owned), and sell the “experience” with bundles—fast charging, protection, and for gamers, controllers, earbuds, and low-latency Wi‑Fi/hotspot options.

A report claims up to 1 billion Android users may have phones vulnerable to attack—exactly the kind of headline that drives panic, scams, and rushed store visits. Wireless dealers can win by offering a 10-minute Android Security Checkup: confirm OS updates, remove risky apps, lock down permissions, enable 2FA, and set up backups. This builds trust, reduces fraud, and creates easy attach for protection plans and accessories.

The Honor 600 is expected to feature a big screen and a big battery—exactly what value-driven customers ask for most: “I want it to last all day.” Wireless dealers can win by positioning it as an all-day phone for streaming, work, and families, then bundling fast charging, protection, and setup. The close is simple: sell battery life as the upgrade customers actually feel.

Google officially launched the Pixel 10a—exactly the kind of “best value” Android that converts when customers want a great camera and smooth performance without flagship pricing. Wireless dealers can win by running a quick Upgrade Audit, positioning the 10a as the smart choice for everyday users and families, and bundling protection + fast charging + setup to reduce returns and increase margin.

A report suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra may lack a single “must-have” selling point—meaning customers will hesitate, compare, and ask “is it worth it?” Wireless dealers can still win by selling outcomes (battery, camera, productivity), using trade-ins to reduce sticker shock, and offering smart alternatives like last-gen Ultras or certified pre-owned flagships that deliver 80–90% of the experience for less.

A report claims an “Ultra” version of the Trump T1 phone is planned—expect curiosity, controversy, and impulse buyers. Wireless dealers can win by staying neutral, qualifying what the customer actually needs, and steering them to reliable “best value” Android options with strong warranties, accessories, and setup. The goal: capture the traffic without increasing returns or chargebacks.

Google is rolling out a new Android update designed to make phones much harder to steal—great news for customers and dealers dealing with theft, fraud, and account takeovers. Wireless dealers can turn this into a trust-building service by offering a quick “Anti-Theft Setup” (screen lock, Find My Device, SIM protection, backups) and bundling protection plans and accessories.
