As always, the MWC 2019 is returning once again to Barcelona, Spain and will showcase multiple technologies from different brands. There are a TON of things to see there, but since we are a website that focuses mostly on smartphones, we have chosen our top 7 techs to look out in MWC 2019! So without further ado, let's get started!

The Snapdragon Technology Summit in Hawaii is something that many looked forward to due to the many rumours of the upcoming SoC that was in the works by Qualcomm. True enough, Qualcomm did unveil their latest addition to their flagship chips but it was not named Snapdragon 8150 as many initially thought but instead is named Snapdragon 855.

HMD Global has recently released a short 10 second teaser video on their Twitter account. From what we can spot in the teaser, it appears to be heavily focused on gaming due to the “Are you ready to #GameOn” tag line at the end of the teaser.

HMD Global recently announced that prices for most of their Nokia devices currently available in the Malaysian market will not be impacted by the SST (Sales and Services Tax). However, three of the recently launched models may see a slight increase (the Nokia 6.1 = RM1100 + RM69, Nokia 2.1 = RM415 + RM20 and Nokia 8110 = RM285 + RM14).

HMD global, the home of Nokia phones has jointly announced the signing of an exclusive partnership with ZEISS, an internationally leading expert in optics and optoelectronics, to set a new imaging standard within the smartphone industry.

This rumour can be taken with a grain but a post online has stated that Nokia is creating what is amounting to a large tablet. The 18.4-inch tablet is said to be branded with the Nokia brand, and it may be appearing sometime during MWC.

It seems the rising trend for 2017 will be foldable phones. Samsung is said to have one phone coming soon this year, and apparently Nokia is working on something as well, if this patent recently unearthed is any indication.

Not only we have seen Nokia coming out with their new smartphones (the Nokia 6 and the upcoming Nokia E1), a new report says that the company may be dabbling into the world of AI assistants. A new applied  trademark by the company may shed some clues on the company’s future plans in the mobile space.

MWC 2017 will be the stage where Nokia will be showcasing their new line up of smartphones to the world. While we will be seeing the Nokia D1C there, a new report is suggesting that Nokia already has four models in the wings for 2017.
