Welcome to another week’s roundup. Mobile World Congress in Barcelona kicks off tomorrow, but the first announcements are already coming: here’s what to expect.

The Samsung Galaxy A54 and A34 are coming soon and we have another spec 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. Instead, the Samsung Galaxy A34 is said to run on a Dimension 1080 chip with up to 8GB of RAM.

The Sony Xperia 5 V (yes, five five) has been released by Geekbench, revealing its 16GB of RAM paired with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

We also get 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. Greetings!
