News & Reviews:   mwc 2019

Today marks the first day of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2019 and under the theme of "Intelligent Connectivity", Vivo was quick to showcase several innovations that they have in store for us. Most of the features were already speculated a few days ago and all of them are true, such as the new 120W Super FlashCharge technology, AR Glass, and its first commercial 5G smartphone.

What's up, TechNavers? Of course, it was the MWC 2019 all week! We covered multiple MWC stuff that happened over the past few days, our boy, Jim managed to have a first impression + hands-on experience of the foldable Huawei Mate X smartphone, the untouchable (literally) Sony Xperia 1 and Xperia 10 series, the penta-camera Nokia 9 PureView, the 48MP Xiaomi Mi 9, an 18,000mAh Energizer smartphone, and many more MWC 2019 stuff (which you can find on our search engine). Also not forgetting the new vivo V15 Pro release in Malaysia on Super Brand Day, and of course - the Samsung Galaxy S10 series has officially launched in Malaysia!

Huawei and Samsung win big at the Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) over at MWC 2019. If you aren't familliar with GLOMO, it is an award that acknowledges rapid technological advancements and innovations that have stood out during at MWC and let me tell you, its pretty competitive!

Well, well, looks like foldable display stuff are back in style after Samsung's Galaxy Fold debut, as nubia also revealed a poster on an upcoming nubia smartphone which will “Flex your life”. Set for an MWC 2019 unveiling on 25 February 2019, the poster reveals what looks like a shell at first but this is actually the visual representation of the Fibonacci sequence along with the aforementioned statement of “Flex your life”. Could this be nubia's foldable display smartphone?

Huawei recently revealed a sneak peek at their upcoming foldable display device, stating that it will use BOE flexible displays and fully support 5G connectivity. The still unnamed device looks to have a 5-inch display when folded (and appears to have an in-display punch speaker vent and fingerprint sensor) but when unfolded, it will have an 8-inch display. We expect it to be powered by a Kirin 980 chipset.

Huawei recently came out with an invite for something coming a day before MWC 2019 (which is 25 February 2019 until 28 February 2019). Set for 24 February 2019, the invite shows something bending, so our first reaction would be "is it Huawei's foldable smartphone!?" but when you think again, the Huawei Matebook series usually gets revealed around MWC as well, so it could also be a hint at an upcoming laptop.

As part of the first quarter of the year, the Mobile World Congress is held in Barcelona, Spain annually and most of the smartphone brands will definitely be there to show off what they have in store for us, such as OPPO's upcoming flagship for the first time in MWC 2019. We don't exactly know what is the phone's name, but we do have some key takeaways on the new unknown flagship from OPPO Malaysia so here's what we know so far.
