This year, MWC Shanghai 2024 is taking place from 26 June 2024 to 28 June 2024 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). It promises to be bigger and better than ever, showcasing groundbreaking mobile innovations that are shaping the future of connectivity.

What is MWC Shanghai all about? It's a large conference for industry leaders to discuss cutting edge tech. Previously cancelled in 2022, the event is making a comeback this year and will run from 28 to 30 June 2023. But what does it have in store for us this year? Well, here are the top 3 topics you can expect from MWC Shanghai 2023.

At the recent World Economic Forum 2022 (WEF 2022), Nokia's CEO claimed that 6G could be available as early as 2030 and that it could make smartphones obsolete. That got many people thinking, "What device could take the place of this incredibly useful gadget?" Lundmark says smart glasses could replace them, and I'm inclined to agree.

It's hard to imagine putting down our phones since these gadgets have become an integral part of our lives. Pekka Lundmark, the CEO of Nokia said otherwise, though. During the World Economic Forum 2022, he believes and predicts that 6G is quite likely to make our phones obsolete.

While the rest of the world is still trying to get 5G, some companies are already working on the future. LG has announced a milestone in its 6G research yesterday. Specifically, the Korean tech and electronics company has completed a 6G transmission test.

Based on a statement by gizmochina.com, it seems that China will most likely be spearheading the development of 6G network as the country currently holds more patents compared to the US. But that’s not all, additional reports also state that Apple, as well as Samsung, are also ramping up the development of 6G network as well.

It seems that a report by globaltimes.cn, it seems that Huawei is keen on launching a test satellite somewhere around July 2021 in order to perform 6G technology verification. With that in mind, Huawei plans to launch its 6G network somewhere around 2030 which was reported to be around 50 times faster than 5G.

While we have a plethora of 5G smartphones in the current market, 5G technology has yet to take off commercially (at least at a global scale). So in the meantime, we got some news that Huawei is already working on 6G technology.

Based on a statement by gizchina, it seems that ZTE and Huawei will take the lead in the development of 6G technology in China. While not much is known in regards to when the technology will be officially available for use, estimations suggest that it should be ready somewhere around 2030.

Based on a statement by bloomberg, it seems that Apple is currently hiring engineers to develop 6G cellular technology. While there is no official information in regards to when the 6G cellular technology will be globally available, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from Apple in the coming years.
