The Verge is going to Barcelona, Spain, for Mobile World Congress, the largest phone event of the year. While CES is known for TVs, computer components, and AI, MWC tops it for all things mobile. As a global show, it features announcements for phones, tablets, and wearables that might not release in the US.
Xiaomi will launch its 17 and 17 Ultra flagships in Europe, Honor is introducing its Robot Phone and moving towards humanoid robotics, and Nothing is expected to reveal more about its Phone 4A before a London launch on March 5th.
Samsung and Google will participate, mainly discussing the already-announced 10A and S26 models, while Apple is launching something else during MWC week but not in Barcelona.
We’re also on the lookout for unique tech. Last year showcased camera phone concepts with detachable lenses, a foldable Lenovo laptop, and an Infinix phone with a solar panel in its back. We hope this year will be just as interesting.
