The race to deploy agentic AI is on. Across the enterprise, systems that can plan, take actions and collaborate across business applications promise unprecedented efficiency. But in the rush to automate, a critical component is being overlooked: Scalable security.

It’s a short and sweet task – you get a USB cable, a SIM eject tool, and the phone. Depending on the model, you can enjoy either 100W (global) or 120W (Chinese) charging speeds, but you’d need to supply your own charger. We had the chance to check out the blue-ish Mint Magic8 Pro while at Honor’s announcement event, and now we also have the silver-ish Gold. They share the wavy lines that appear…
