Google Deprecated AOSP Dialer and Messages apps
Source

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) ships with a variety of open-source apps by Google but it has now deprecated support for the Dialer and Messages apps

Google notes:
"This app is not actively supported and the source is only available as a reference. This project will be removed from the source manifest sometime in the future"

This won't affect many OEMs as they ship their own Dialer & Messages apps or use Google variants instead of AOSP.

This could affect Custom ROMs as they will need to ship Google Dialer and Messages apps or develop their own apps.

Madhav Sheth announced he Resigned from Realme

Madhav Sheth, Realme Vice President and President of Realme's International Business Group, has quit Realme after 5 years.
He was also the former Realme India CEO

It was already known that Sheth will exit Realme within a week and he did.
Now might join HONOR to help them launch their smartphones in India

Honor is entirely separate company from Huawei and does NOT uses Kirin SoC nor EMUI.
They uses it own MagicUI that comes with Google apps

Its kinda great to have HONOR smartphones return in India as currently the "quality" of smartphone provided by all chinese brands are garbage as full with Motherboard, camera, SystemUI, display issues

Honor R&D is pretty solid even. Expect a good competition to Xiaomi and Realme in mid-range segment.

Honor will launch its 1st smartphone in August in India
