Week 8 of 2020 was supposed to be marked by the teasers leading up to this year's Mobile Wolrd Congress but with that getting cancelled plans changed.
We still got some new phones - LG brought its K-series trio, while Sony brought the Xperia L4. Meanwhile Sharp brought its R5G flagship that will unfortunately remain confined to Japan for the time being.
Meanwhile the Galaxy S20 trio that got announced last week kept making headlines - the S20 Ultra topped DisplayMate's test, while Samsung promised to enable 120Hz mode at the highest QHD+ resolution in a future update.
The rumor mill was mostly about the Huawei P40 duo and LG's V60. In case you've missed some of the exciting scoops you can find the full list of our best read stories of the week below.
See you in a week!
