MWC 2017: HIGHLIGHTS, NEWS, RELEASESWhen it comes to Android smartphones and tablets, there is only one important European event in the first quarter of 2017: the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. At the end of February, the who's who of the mobile communication sector will gather in the Catalan capital to present the highlights of the first half of the year to the public. A good number of these highlights are already emerging on the horizon.
Mobile World Congress in 2017 - When and where?
In the coming year, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) will take place between February 27 and March 2, 2017. For the press, the doors to the Mobile World Congress will open a few days before, so that the highlights can be presented even before the trade fair gets under way. As in previous years, the location for the mobile communication sector's big rendezvous is Barcelona, Spain.
MWC 2017 Highlight number 1: Samsung Galaxy S8
A lot is expected from the Galaxy S8 since Samsung has to compensate for the disaster that surrounded the Galaxy Note 7. According to current rumors, the Galaxy S8 will again be available in two versions - a standard as well as an Edge version. While the smaller Galaxy S8 model will continue to be equipped with a 2K display, there are rumors that Samsung has upped their bet on resolution. A 4K display could be possible for the Galaxy S8 Edge. You can find out whatever else will be integrated in the Samsung Galaxy S8 in our separate and extensive Galaxy S8 article.
For Samsung however, just to present two smartphones at the world's largest telecommunication trade fair is not going to be enough. In 2016, along with the presentation of the Galaxy S7, Samsung introduced the new Gear 360 and Gear VR. Samsung will surely not present the latter again, as when the Galaxy S8 with a type C USB becomes available, the numerous Gear VRs that were produced for the Note 7 will still be used. However, a new Gear 360 could definitely be presented at the Mobile World Congress 2017 as a companion for the Galaxy S8.
MWC 2017 Highlight: LG G6
LG provided a highlight at the 2016 Mobile World Congress with the modular G5. But unfortunately, the sales haven’t lived up to expectations. First, LG was struggling with quality issues with the G5 and later the modular system just got on people’s nerves, as with every change you had to reboot the smartphone. Also, the number of modules has not increased in the past months, so there is speculation that LG will bury the modular design with the G6. You can see further information on the LG G6 in the following article:
