We can see a lot of people here, of course, the Mobile World Congress is the biggest event in Barcelona. All the key players in the industry hold their event one day before the show opens its gate. What do they want? They just want to capture as much limelight as possible for their new flagship products.
The first day is all about smarter watches and more powerful phones. After months of teasers, Samsung unveiled two new Galaxy smartphones to rival Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus. With a beautiful curved screen and more powerful hardware, the new device also boasts wireless charging and mobile payment technology. The new innovative features set new standards in the global mobile marketplace.
No doubt, wearable devices will remain one of the most significant trends in the mobile industry.
