The design of the Sony Xperia V is now unveiled, thanks to a billboard in Hong Kong. Not that we weren’t sure what the phone would look like, but it’s nice to see the triple color scheme of white, black, and green. The Xperia 1 V will go official on May 11th.

Nothing teased the phone (2), showing us a glimpse of what appears to be the back of the phone. There’s a red LED video recording indicator, like the one on the phone (1), and what looks like a switch. The phone will include a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

There have been a lot of Google Pixel 7a leaks this week. Its specs have been detailed, we’ve seen a long hands-on video, a video teardown, and for good measure, a teaser from Google itself. Expect a 90Hz display, 64MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide, wireless charging, and a Tensor G2 chip – the phone will arrive on May 11.

Google also formally confirmed the Pixel Fold through a short video. Google didn’t say anything about specs or price, but we’re still happy with the high-quality 360 look we got.

These were the highlights of the week. Stay in the area!
