In just a few days, Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 will kick off in Barcelona, Spain, promising a showcase of the latest developments in mobile technology.

Attending MWC 2025, which runs from March 3 to March 6, gives attendees the chance to see a variety of exhibitions and demonstrations. While many well-known companies have started to announce their products before the event, MWC continues to attract numerous exhibitors eager to capture the attention of attendees. Last year’s show featured more than 2,700 exhibitors, showcasing a mix of startups and established brands, with larger companies typically commanding more space and attention.
Some renowned companies expected to participate this year include Google, Honor, Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Qualcomm, and more. Each brand will have something different to showcase, ranging from groundbreaking devices to innovative software solutions.
When it comes to product announcements and showcases, there will be plenty to see at MWC. However, not every company will reveal major new products. Here’s a closer look at what some of the big names will be bringing to the table:
Google usually does not make huge announcements at MWC but is likely to have a presence with smaller updates and demos of its products and software.
Honor, on the other hand, has already teased its new Magic 7 Pro phone, known for its impressive camera capabilities. The company plans to hold a launch event on March 2 at 16:30 CET to talk about its latest AI innovations, including better compatibility with iOS devices.
Motorola made waves last year with its innovative device concepts and exciting tech. Although there’s no concrete news regarding new hardware, fans will hope to hear more about its latest models.
Nothing is building up excitement with the upcoming announcement of its Phone 3a series on March 4 at 10:00 GMT, featuring an attractive design and notable camera specs, including a high-resolution sensor and lens.
Samsung likely won’t have many major announcements at MWC but may display new concept devices and perhaps share more about the Galaxy S25 Edge, teased at an earlier event.
TCL is also expected to showcase its latest devices, likely following up on the impressive features highlighted at CES 2025, while TECNO is set to unveil new AI features and updates to its popular phone series.
Lastly, Xiaomi will officially launch its highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 Ultra shortly after it reveals the device in China on February 27.
Another key trend at MWC will be the emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI). Many companies are expected to highlight their AI capabilities, especially as new chipsets from MediaTek and Qualcomm enable on-device AI processing across various devices.
As MWC 2025 approaches, the excitement continues to build around the diverse innovations that companies will be unveiling in this ever-evolving mobile technology landscape.
