In an unusual turn of events, SmartPrix and leaker OnLeaks have distanced themselves from last week’s Phone 2A design leak.

Newly posted videos from the brand’s official YouTube channel suggest it’s got something planned for this year, even if the videos themselves mainly seem to be showing off footage and customer testimonials based on previous Star Wars and The Avengers VR experiences. With new owners Hyper Reality Partners having reportedly raised as much as $20 million in funding, hopefully The Void 2.0 has something interesting up its sleeve.
