Week 8 in review: MWC is coming, Xperia 5V surfaces, iPhone 15 renders are here

Welcome to another week’s recap. Mobile World Congress in Barcelona kicks off tomorrow, but the first announcements are already coming in – here’s what to expect.
The Samsung Galaxy A54 and A34 are coming soon, and we got another specs leak. The Galaxy A54 will come with a 6.4-inch 120Hz OLED panel and an Exynos 1380 SoC with up to 8GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy A34, on the other hand, is said to run on a Dimensity 1080 chip with up to 8GB of RAM.
The Sony Xperia 5 V (yes, five five) dropped by Geekbench, revealing its 16GB of RAM paired with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
We also got some renders of the iPhone 15 Pro, which will have a slightly more rounded design, USB-C, the same Dynamic Island, and a new hero color – Dark Red.
See the full list of top stories below. Cheers!
The Galaxy A54 is rumored to feature an upgraded Exynos 1380 SoC.

Motorola’s phone grip on Lenovo’s ThinkPad is surprisingly good.

This is a pretty early leak, but the Xperia 5V seems to match today’s SD8 Gen 2 phones.

The reason could be the Samsung keyboard, users online suggest.

The vanilla iPhone 15 will get a 6.2-inch screen, an updated pill-shaped cutout, and a USB-C port.

The third X5 phone is now available on the IMDA website.

Are these LED strips part of a new active cooling system?

The company is in talks with TSMC to manufacture it.

It should soon debut in a Galaxy A54.

Its owner received it as a gift from her friends over fifteen years ago but never bothered to use the device.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will have light blue and pink options.

The phone is already available on the vivo Malaysia website.

The phone will be officially launched on March 1 in India.

YouTube may change some of its strategies to attract more YouTube Premium subscribers.

It will remain playable on devices it is already installed on even after delisting.

It’s definitely going to be a photography-focused phone.

We all knew it was only a matter of time, right?

It will open to a landscape view.

Like Realme’s GT Neo5, this one needs less than 10 minutes to go from a dead battery to a fully charged one. The 20% sprint only takes less than a minute and a half.

Basically, this whole part of the phone is all screen.

This is a small update that focuses on strengthening the security patch as the flagship trio launched with the older January 2023 patch.

No word on the A73 yet, but it’s not available in the country, so we’ll have to wait for the rollout to expand to other regions.

Open sales in India begin on February 28.

It is available in two colors and has a removable battery.

But the Galaxy Z Fold6 just might.
