We also saw early demonstrations of theworld’s slimmest smartphoneand asolar-powered smartphone.
It wasn’t just phones, either.
Thisfoldable projectorlooks like a surefire way to take movie night out on the road with you in future.
Otherwise, we’ll be back in twelve months time to see you again for MWC 2026.
Jeff here reporting on the build-up from London in advance of the show itself.
What is MWC anyway?
Historically a mobile/telecoms show, it’s grown to include all areas of consumer technology.
Anything from Samsung?
In the meantime, you might find everything we know about it over on ourGalaxy S25 Edge hub.
Not the first time Lenovo’s shown a wild concept at MWC!
As the name suggests, this is basically what would happen if you made the laptop display completely see-through?
It’s gotAsus Zenbook Duovibes but with the bottom deck attached to the laptop rather than detachable.
The point of which is to launch a “new corporate vision.”
It’s unlikely we’ll see new flagship hardware theHonor Magic 7 Proarrived in January, after all.
The phone make is Tecno, and the gear is called the Spark Slim.
Something to flip over from HMD?
We won’t have to wait long.

What’s MWC without a few new phone launches?
TheNothing Phone 3a and 3a Proare expected to launch at this year’s March 4 event.
Another phone maker, Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi, is expected to reveal the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
Samsung has shown off its new midrange Galaxy A models, highlighted by the Galaxy A56.
Last year, theGalaxy A55andGalaxy A35offered Circle to Search support, but that was about it.
The Galaxy A56 has more extensive AI-powered tools, as you could read bout in Richard Priday’sGalaxy A56 hands-on.
Phone shoppers in Australia and the U.K. will get a chance to buy the Galaxy A56 later this month.
Enjoyour video look at the new Samsung model.
Our report on theGalaxy S36 and Galaxy S26 specshas more details.
But we’ve also just found out that the headset will be “unveiled” at MWC 2025.
The preview also promises “an exclusive look atGalaxy S25 Edge.”
While that may not seem like a lot, that is 11% more than what Techno is offering.
Arguably phones that could be strong contenders for the title ofbest cheap phone.
The Galaxy A56, in particular, offers a lot of impressive features.
All for the same $499 price tag as previous A50-series Galaxy phones.
Better still, it also had Qi2 wireless charging.
The difference is this battery stores 1,900 mAh of power.
Which is actually pretty darn cool.
Only Google and Samsung offer equally-long software support, so seeing another company join them is very welcome.
Unfortunately, like it’s predecessors, it won’t be coming to the U.S.
Which is a huge shame, considering how good of a phone it actually is.
In fact, it would be a shame to hide that look inside a case.
Even browsing Google Play is a treat, which is pretty miraculous.
A laptop for bargain hunters?
Now there’s some new tricks to check out.
Lenovo has shown off the ThinkBook 3D Laptop Concept, and it’s really something to behold.
