The entrance to Mobile World Congress in 2025.
Mobile World Congress 2026 is kicking off on Monday, teeing up a week that’s likely to be filled with product announcements and futuristic phone concepts.
Our expectations for this year’s MWC 2026 include upcoming phones that we already know about — including the Nothing Phone 4A that’s set to launch March 5 — along with launch events from companies like Xiaomi and Honor. Motorola’s also attending, and considering the company revealed its upcoming Razr Fold at CES 2026, we’d expect the company to provide more details about the book-style folding phone.
We’ve also historically seen concepts at MWC that have never made it beyond the development stage but are still so cool to see. That’s included Motorola debuting a flexible phone concept that you can wear on your wrist and Lenovo showing a solar-charging laptop.
And even though Apple isn’t expected to attend MWC, it’s quite possible that the company might be debuting the rumored iPhone 17E over the course of the week. Apple has announced that it’s going to be making new product announcements starting Monday in the lead-up to a March 4 event in New York, London and Shanghai. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out in case a new iPhone is one of them.
We’ll be covering all the reveals, concepts and fun highlights we find in Barcelona in this live blog. Keep checking back for more updates.
