Google launches the Pixel 11 Pro at 1199 euros with Android 17 and triple cameras but mixed processor feedback. Rockstar issues takedowns after GTA 6 footage leaks months before its 2026 release. Garmin hits 15 percent global smartwatch share to match Samsung. These moves underscore fast competition in phones, gaming security, and wearables.

This week saw Google launch its latest flagship with ambitious software features, Rockstar respond to an early GTA 6 leak, Garmin reach parity with Samsung in the global smartwatch market, and Midea update its packaging for the PortaSplit.
The breach reportedly stems from an individual known as “Cyberleek,” who describes himself as an activist for gamers’ rights and criticizes industry practices.
