Mobile World Congress It’s coming to an end and the CNET team has watched the whole thing Reverse robots to Furry AI companions. It’s been a busy few days, with almost every major tech company doing something at the show. But covering all those ads is not an easy task. The CNET team on the ground had to pull out all the stops to bring you the kind of high-quality journalism you’ve come to expect from us.
Instead of telling you about it Camera phones are awesome or Incredible supercar conceptsI wanted to offer you a rare glimpse behind the curtain at what goes on during trade shows like CES. Scroll to see the CNET team in action, doing what they do best.
First, Andrew Lankson (it’s me, hello!) captured a shot of video producer Celso Bolgatti crawling on Abrar Al-Hiti’s Galaxy S26 Ultra. It’s not usually that intrusive, it’s just a way to display the phone’s new privacy screen.
Aliza O’Malley makes a great impression with the statue.
Tara Brown and Katie Collins had press passes ready to enter the Honor conference, where they saw the Honor robot flipping behind me.
Tara had a busy conference schedule. Here we are waiting for Xiaomi’s keynote to start. I look very happy, don’t I?
A candid moment of discussion between David Lomb and Patrick Holland. Who knows what high-level decisions were made…
Typical scene at MWC: a large number of journalists crowded around the projection screen, not giving each other space to get the photos they need. Instead of joining the melee, she stepped back and took a photo of them instead. Why? Because I already had the phone in my pocket.
Katie Collins examines her hairline and scalp for a technical demonstration. The result? Beautiful hair. But we already knew that.
It can’t be all dark conference rooms and neon-lit demo areas – here is part of the team enjoying some Barcelona sunshine.
Of course, give the best impression to the cheetah girls.
A moment of calm and caffeine at one of Motorola’s events overlooking the city.
CNET team dinner. Our team is spread all over the world, so it’s great to be able to come together and collaborate on events like this.
The team waited impatiently for a taxi. Well, most of the team waited, and apparently I was pretending like I was trying to get a modeling contract.
Some events – such as Showstoppers, a small tech conference in itself – are held away from the main convention center in Fira. In this case, it was a real palace, so it was only natural that we would take a photo right outside.
The palace was full of mirrors, and I obviously made full use of them.
The palace ceiling and chandeliers were very good.
I took a moment to shoot a quick social video on my account Orange iPhone turned pink With Tara Brown.
It may be a cliche to say it, but we really made each other laugh this week, and it was a great feeling to come together as a team. MWC, like many major tech events, can be a challenge, and while it’s certainly a huge amount of work for all of us, it’s also a great opportunity to come together and have fun with like-minded tech nerds.
