In the final shot of the new trailer, Jon kills someone. At first glance it looks like a wight, but when I used slow motion I saw that it looks like a man holding a kind of weapon which looks like dragonglass actually.
Do wights handle weapons? If not who is that man?

I think that is the second wave just arrived. Remember a lot of things are shot for dramatic tension, they don't have to make absolute accurate sense.
Jon finishes of one group of wights to find another, probably larger, group waiting to take him on. This produces an "Oh Shit" moment that is, if done right, very effective. Take a look at his arms when he sees them. They drop as if he is saying "Fuck me, what now!?"
And yes, wights are handy with weapons.
That doesn't look like anything to me.
Some of you just like to overthink things, LOL. It's a wight. And of course they use weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK_fyWqlcCM. Look after the second minute and you will see a bunch of them using axes and other weapons in Hardhome.
Dismembered limbs will still move and he isn't even dismembered.
An inconsistence, but hardly would be the first inconsistence in the show's history. They probably wanted a cool shot of Jon fighting like a boss and by the gods, they have it. Besides, in Hardhome Jon killed a few wights without dismembering. Wanna bet? 20 dollars say it's a wight.
And also why are the other wights in the back staying still and not charging Jon?
It looks creepy
Some will tell you because of the crack in the ice but that crack is small and those wights jump off cliffs (can jump and swim too). they'd charge anyway. actually that crack doesn't stretch over the entire frame, there's just some air holes.
u/toonedup had a good answer on another post: "The ice is cracked and they cannot cross the water."
Of course you are right. How does this fit into the leaks?
A dead wildling from hardhome
Wights can only be burned. They won't stop fighting if they are just stabbed.
Will Valyrian steel stop them? I don't remember. It stops White Walkers.
The wiki said that they can be totally dismembered or burned. Mel said something about it once. She said something about once . I'll look it up.
Jon killed a random wight or two in Hardhome, they didn't shatter like the Walker. They just broke in half.
Mel says steel and fire will kill them, but the wiki says they will still fight injured. The wiki says they will continue to fight (dismembered limbs still move) unless totally dismembered.
No, only fire. In the books at least, show might change it.
EDIT Actually in the books we don't know that valyrian steel kills WW so we don't even know about wights.
Do wights handle weapons? It has a weapon, looks like dragonglass shape
Not sure about the guy he kills, but the figures in the background are definitely wights. They move very eratically as usual. Interestingly enough, they are not advancing towards Jon which makes me think they are waiting for their king to make an epic entrance to confront Jon.
a wight
Do wights handke weapons?
Time for a full series rewatch and/or no more Walking Dead.
Hardhome is not so clear, I had to search for wights using weapons in order to see it actually in the link given :)
Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK_fyWqlcCM
