As you can see in these leaked images, the new Sony phones have all-screen designs, but there’s still a bezel at the top. Furthermore, the cheapest model features a bezel on the bottom. In other words, Sony won’t quite keep up with competitors when it comes to all-screen designs, as the brand has chosen to forgo notches or hole-punch cameras for bezels.

If you were holding out hope that Apple might release a 5G enabled iPhone later this year, we've got bad news for you. According to a report from Reuters, Intel earlier today announced that its 5G modems will not be available until 2020. And seeing as how Apple now relies upon Intel for its chips -- thanks to its ongoing legal dispute with Qualcomm -- we now have official confirmation that iPhones with support for 5G won't hit stores shelves until 2020 at the absolute earliest. Specifically, Sandra Rivera of Intel articulated that while Intel's 5G modems will hit manufacturers this year, it doesn't anticipate that the modems will end up in any smartphones until next year. Word of Apple's delayed entry into the speedy world of 5G shouldn't come as much of a surprise. For starters, a report from Bloomberg a few months ago revealed that Apple was holding off on 5G until 2020, if not later. What's more, it's worth noting that Apple has historically been slow to adopt new networking technologies. Remember, the original iPhone didn't launch with 3G and Apple didn't adopt LTE support until the 2012 release of the iPhone 5. That said, and especially in light of the somewhat slow but steady roll out of 5G, it makes sense why Apple isn't exactly in a rush to introduce iPhones with 5G support. After all, what's the point in introducing a 5G iPhone when nationwide and global coverage will be spotty at best? While there's no denying that the impending arrival of 5G and 5G enabled smartphones is an absolute game-changer, the reality is that it will take some time before 5G coverage reaches a point as to make paying a premium for a 5G smartphone worth the added expense. That said, we can only hope that Apple isn't too patient and embraces 5G in 2020 as opposed to waiting until 2021.

OnePlus has teased a little bit more about its 5G phone. The Chinese smartphone maker says it plans to launch the device during the second quarter, when it will be among the first handset makers to release such a device. The company, which rose to popularity in part because it brought affordable flagship phones to international markets at affordable prices, has shared an image of the device prototype with USA Today that the company will also be showing off at MWC in a few days. The newspaper reports that "not much is discernible" about the device from the image, though it is known that the handset will run the same Snapdragon 855 processor from Qualcomm that's found in Samsung's new S10 line of Galaxy devices. Per USA Today, the OnePlus phone also won't be available in the US -- at least at launch. The phone is reportedly going to launch first on the UK carrier EE as well as Finnish carrier Elisa sometime during the second quarter. In an interview with USA Today conducted through a translator, OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau said he's bullish on the benefits that 5G will bring, even if it's not clear yet what the consumer response to the network's improvements will be.

"It’s still very early days for 5G, and we want to take the opportunity to raise more awareness particularly within the OnePlus community, but not just limited to the OnePlus community, in what we can look forward to with 5G," Lau told the newspaper.

While availability for the company's first device won't extend to the US immediately, OnePlus is nevertheless already hinting at future 5G devices coming to the US as the technology improves and compatibility between 5G networks gets better. Lau went so far as to call the US "our most important market" in his interview. OnePlus hasn't yet decided on a name for it. The company will also no doubt try to keep the price as competitive as possible, as it did with its previous phone (the 6T) that launched in the US via a partnership with T-Mobile.

Per USA Today, that phone retailed at a starting price of $549 and helped OnePlus grow to become a top 5 maker of phones sold above $500 in the US during the fourth quarter of 2018, according to research firm IDC.

Japan's space program JAXA has had a very eventful 24 hours. The group's Hayabusa2 asteroid probe, which arrived at its target Ryugu last year, performed its most challenging maneuver yet by leaving its orbit around the rock and touching down on its surface for just a moment. But that's not all it did. The plan all along has been for Hayabusa2 to retrieve samples of the diamond-shaped asteroid in order to bring them back to Earth, but snatching a sample isn't as easy as it sounds. In order to efficiently collect dust from the rock during its brief touchdown the spacecraft had to fire a bullet into Ryugu, and it had to do all of this without direct control from its handlers on Earth over 180 million miles away. JAXA engineers waited patiently for the probe to send back information on its maneuver, with signals taking around 20 minutes to travel back and forth between Earth and the spacecraft. However, despite the incredible challenge posed by the rocky surface of Ryugu, JAXA says its probe pulled off the feat, successfully firing the projectile into the asteroid's surface and then snatching a sample of its dust before boosting itself back into a holding position in orbit around the rock. "We made a successful touchdown, including firing a bullet. We made the ideal touchdown in the best conditions," Yuichi Tsuda, project manager of the Hayabusa2 mission, told reporters. "I'm really relieved now. It felt very long until the moment the touchdown happened." That feeling of relief might not last very long, as Hayabusa2 still has plenty of work ahead of it before it can call its mission truly complete. The probe will perform two more maneuvers like this one, collecting dust samples and then finally departing for Earth where it will deliver the asteroid material. It will arrive back on our planet in 2020 if all goes as planned.
