TECNO has announced a new collaboration with Italian lifestyle brand Tonino Lamborghini at Mobile World Congress 2026. The partnership brings together advanced technology and Italian design, aiming to create products that combine bold aesthetics with high-end performance.

TECNO unveiled more than a dozen concept devices and technologies at Mobile World Congress 2026, presenting its vision of how smartphones and connected ecosystems could evolve in the age of artificial intelligence. Under the theme “Pioneering the Connection of Intelligence,” TECNO explored how AI capabilities can be integrated into device form factors while maintaining human-centred design principles.

This MWC 2026, Qualcomm have announced their new Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform designed to deliver Personal AI for wearables like watches, pins, pendants and more. Featuring an industry-first NPU-powered wearable platform, it should offer low-power on-device AI for these smaller devices.

Although the official start of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 is tomorrow, companies have already begun sharing new tech at the annual tech conference. This year, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be the focus, and Honor has some cool stuff to show this time.

A few hours ago, TECNO silently posted new teasers of its new modular features. Coined as Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, the company is planning to showcase its concept lineup ahead of Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026, aiming to let users physically expand a smartphone’s hardware capabilities through magnetic attachments that plug directly into the device’s ultra-thin frame.

Today, HONOR has confirmed plans to unveil its next-generation smartphone lineup and an expanded flagship IoT ecosystem at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026 on 1 March 2026. According to the company, the event will highlight how AI is becoming a foundational layer across its product ecosystem rather than a standalone feature.

For MWC 2024, Qualcomm has plenty of announcements but most of them focus on AI and GenAI along with what we could expect in the future from Qualcomm powered devices. This includes smartphones that feature on-device AI and UWB connectivity along with PCs that are designed to run GenAI 3x faster than their x86 counterparts, so do read on for all the details.

Remember the transparent display showcased at this year's CES 2024? Well, it's possible we might see them in actual products sooner than expected. Specifically, a laptop sporting a transparent display.

Nothing may be cooking up something or it could potentially be nothing, as the company has invited the media for an event during Mobile World Congress next year. Happening from 26 to 29 February 2024, Nothing has yet to confirm anything for MWC 2024 but we may potentially be seeing a new smartphone.

Previously cancelled in 2022, the Mobile World Congress Shanghai (MWC Shanghai) is set to return in 2023. This will also be the 10th time the event will be held at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center (SNIEC) from 28 to 30 June 2023.
