Welcome to this week’s recap. The Sony Xperia 1 VIII was prematurely listed on Amazon, revealing a very hefty price tag – €1,868.99 in Germany, £1,728 in the UK. Sony later announced the official date for the Xperia 1 VIII unveiling – May 13.

If this leak is accurate, we only need the pricing and Google can already unveil these.
A dummy unit of the iPhone Ultra stars in a hands-on video. You can see the unorthodox form factor in actual human hands, though keep in mind that the dimensions of the dummy don’t exactly match those of earlier leaks.
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s are tipped to arrive in India on April 21.
The phones were unveiled in China on April 21.
You can see it (and its unorthodox form factor) from all angles.
