MWC 2025: What can be expected from the largest mobile phone offer in the world

The annual holiday of the phone known as the World Congress of mobile phones is almost again, and it is scheduled to be one of the most exciting technical events in 2025.

The mobile exhibition lasts from 3 to 6 March, and I will be on the ground in Barcelona with my colleagues Andrew Lanux and Abrar Al -Haiti, where I check all the launches of new products and enlarge the breakthroughs that will determine the mobile phone technology through the next year and beyond. I was bringing and covering the offer for 11 years, and I write about everything from the first experimental HTC Vive to Save the old Nokia 3310 from the Backstreeet Market On the same day HMD launched the 2017 update for the iconic phone.

This year, we will monitor Chinese phone makers like Xiaomi and Oppo to control MWC. “This will be a very strong offer for them, and we expect a very strong presence on the floor of the show,” says Ben Wood, CCS Insight’s chief analyst, says.

Smaller players such as HMD are set and there is nothing on new phones that we cannot wait for our hands, in addition to that there are likely to have some interesting wearable devices, including Smart watches AR glasses, with bonus laptops and ear headphones as well.

We also expect to see artificial intelligence everywhere again this year, often with a GEWS’s GEMINI flavor, with a set of interesting features of phone makers at the top. CNET research indicates that many of you This is not surprised by the capabilities of the artificial intelligence of smartphones yet. We will be in searching for use and features that we think will be really exciting and transforming when time is to upgrade your phone.

Meanwhile, here we expect to see it.

Phones

If there is one phone specially excited to check the Global Report Congress, it is Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Camera on Xiaomi 14 Ultra We blew up away last year -Make the phone stand out in a sea of ​​similar high -end devices. The noise was built about the launch of its successor, Xiaomi 15 UltraWhich we expect to see the unveiling of MWC.

Nothing always rises in technology design, and we are excited to see what is behind its launch event on March 4. The Noteing Phone 3A and 3A Pro is likely to be the star (S) for the display, and it can work on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, which would determine the shift from the company’s partnership with Mediaatek.

Series (3A) series. Power in perspective.

Nothing (no) January 30, 2025

The next pioneering phone is also expected to arrive in 2025, but not even later in the year. The company launched its predecessor, Nothing phone 2In July 2023, so we expect the intervention period for two years to lead to some promotions. Nothing Phone 3 is unlikely to appear in MWC, but we will monitor the harassment of what can be expected from the phone when he finally arrives.

Samsung launched its main phone before MWC, but this does not mean that we have heard another Galaxy S25. The Parcelona event is an opportunity for the company to display its new main series in Europe, and it may also give us a better look at S25 edge The annoying phone in the discharge in January.

Other phone companies will follow their example, with devices including Honor Magic7 Pro, The Triple-Screned and Dual-Fold Huawei Matti XT Using MWC Corms Victory after launching it earlier.

The best in the rest

MWC has always been first and foremost on phones, but “Mobile” as a category adopts a large number of different products, from laptops to wearable devices.

One of the most exciting products to Make the first full appearance in MWC 2024 He was Samsung Galaxy. Competition is competing in this space, as companies including ORA and Ultrahuman offer exciting smart episodes of their own. The offer can be the perfect place for new or created technology companies to enter the smart jewelry market.

In 2024, we also saw the appearance of independent AI devices, including Humanity has a pine and Rib R1. Both were born a sensation, however It fell largely flat When it is time to test them. As well as this emerging device category is dead in water (especially as we know Humane’s Ai will stop working soon))?

“Never say,” says Wood. “But I do not expect much of these devices because of the fact that the songs that were present were amazing.”

He adds that the capabilities of these devices have been largely included in smartphones, thanks to the improvements in Gemini Gemini and Samsung Galaxy Ai. “The opportunity window for these products evaporated some extent.”

One of the fields that are still room for growth in spatial computing, which we mean by smart glasses. The Oppo phone maker can be one to see it in this space, and we can also see a number of smaller companies that offer facial technology in MWC as well. This can be anything of the compact artificial intelligence, microphones and cameras to glasses with a built -in digital width of a kind of Apple Vision Pro.

Over the years, we have seen significant growth in the number of car manufacturers in technical offers – especially CES. MWC usually did not host cars, despite last year Xiaomi offered an electric car In the show. There is nothing to say that we should not expect to see more on this lines this year, especially with the present of the Chipmaker Qualcomm maker. The company operates at the heart of combining the mobile phone connection into cars, with cases of use ranging from information and entertainment to safety.

It is imperative to see a group of laptops, tablets and ear headphones appear in the width. Lenovo is one of our we have to see in this regard-at our discretion, it was a prominent personal computer maker in the previous exhibition, and we are keen to see what she has in this transformation.

Amnesty International

As was the case last year, we expect Amnesty International to be everywhere in MWC – so you may wonder what is completely new for 2025.

To date, most of the phones full of Amnesty International tend to be pioneering models, but this year we must expect artificial intelligence features in a wide range of devices, according to Wood. “What we will see is the possibilities of artificial intelligence moves down the price curve,” he says. This means artificial intelligence in medium phones and not only breeders models. (An example of point: New $ 599e 16e The apples have just revealed.)

As Apple is permanently absence from MWC, this offer is informally belonging to Google. We expect to see him everywhere, and to display all the last capabilities twin During partnership with all phone makers, you should be presented in the audience. The question for these companies will be the way they use artificial intelligence to distinguish between their products, when they all can reach the same group of Google features.

Galaxy Ai from Samsung is a major example, but in MWC we expect to see a bold play of Honor where the company determines the new “Alpha Plan”. In addition to the comprehensive trend of the brand, this strategy includes creating an open and cooperative ecosystem for the Acting devices.

As I mentioned, there is unlikely that there are more artificial intelligence devices, but rather a continuation of the direction of including artificial intelligence in everything we already have. Chips like Qualcomm will glorify AI’s virtues on the device, and we hope to provide some exciting experimental offers to view how we can expect artificial intelligence to change our technology, if not this year, then in the near future.

One of my favorite illustrations at MWC last year was a partnership between Qualcomm, Brain.ai and Deutsche TelekomAnd that showed how AI can replace the interface based on the application that we all know and love. I will search for interesting ideas such as this year.
