MWC2025 Ultimate Roundup: A Technological Feast of Convergence, Connection, and Creation is About to Begin

With less than two days until the opening of MWC2025 (March 3rd to 6th, local time in Spain), anticipation is high. Following our team's coverage of CES2024, MWC2024, AWE2024, and IFA2024 last year, and a successful trip to Las Vegas for CES2025 earlier this year, Lei Technology's MWC2025 reporting team has arrived in Barcelona and is making final preparations for four days of comprehensive coverage. As a global bellwether for the communications industry, the products and technologies showcased at MWC2025 will profoundly impact the future of the mobile industry. For example, MWC2019 witnessed the collective debut of 5G technology and the first global unveiling of foldable phones from Samsung and Huawei, heralding the arrival of the 5G and foldable phone eras. At MWC, we see not just novel technologies and products, but a glimpse into the future. MWC25's theme is "Converge. Connect. Create.", highlighting the innovative fusion of technologies like 5G-A, AI, and IoT, promising a transformative new mobile ecosystem.

So, what's worth anticipating at MWC25? Lei Technology's ultimate MWC25 roundup covers smartphones, the convergence of 5G-A and AI, AI glasses, and more, aiming to comprehensively present the highlights of this technological spectacle.

I. MWC25: Smartphones Remain the "Mainstay"

Smartphones are an ever-present topic at MWC. This year's event will not only see the launch of several major new smartphone models but also marks Huawei's return. With the saturation of the domestic Chinese smartphone market, expanding overseas is again a hot topic. For Chinese smartphone manufacturers, MWC is a crucial gateway to the European market. Therefore, almost all participating Chinese brands are showcasing their most competitive products.

• Xiaomi 15 Ultra: A Revolutionary Imaging Flagship, Global Simultaneous Launch

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra will have its global launch in Barcelona on March 2nd and will be available globally on March 3rd (domestic launch in China is also March 3rd). Lei Technology has been invited to attend and report on the event. As Xiaomi's revolutionary imaging flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra boasts what is arguably world-leading imaging performance. Xiaomi's decision to make this its first globally simultaneous launch product in 2025 demonstrates its ambition. Xiaomi has been actively expanding in Western Europe, partnering with operators like Vodafone, O2, and Telefnica to bring its phones to markets including the UK, Sweden, Ireland, Austria, and Denmark, even opening Mi Stores locally. The Xiaomi MWC advertisement immediately visible upon arrival at Barcelona airport reflects its strong presence at MWC25 and in Europe.

• OPPO Find N5: The World's Thinnest Foldable Phone, Generating Buzz Before Launch

OPPO will showcase its newly released Find N5, touted as the world's thinnest foldable phone. This phone has already generated significant buzz, with millions of views on YouTube and other platforms, frequently compared to Samsung's Z Fold6, attracting considerable attention. Furthermore, OPPO has teased its latest generation of Super Flash Charge technology, promising a better balance between charging speed and battery capacity, generating considerable anticipation.

• Huawei: Return to the Smartphone Market, Challenging the European Market

While Huawei has consistently participated in MWC, last year's booth focused primarily on 5G and AI technologies. This year, however, may be different. The launch of popular products like the P70 series, Mate 70 series, and Mate X6 series signals Huawei's return to the smartphone market and its readiness to challenge the European market once again.

• Honor: Magic7 Series Enters Europe, Leading with AI Ecosystem

Given Huawei's presence, Honor is equally noteworthy. Honor exceeded expectations in the European market last year, particularly in the foldable phone segment. This year, it's likely to build on this success. The Magic7 series, a cornerstone of Honor's smartphone lineup, will be launched in the European market, and Honor may also showcase its newly launched AIPC, taking an early lead in the AI ecosystem encompassing PCs and smartphones. Lei Technology has been invited to Honor's MWC25 event, and we look forward to reporting on their new product launch.

• Samsung S25 Edge: A New Model Emphasizing Thinness

Samsung's presence at MWC is substantial, with the S25 series taking center stage. The most anticipated device is the yet-to-be-released S25 Edge, reportedly a new model emphasizing thinness. Its absence from recent launches suggests a planned unveiling at MWC, which Lei Technology will closely follow.

• HMD and Realme: Eye-Catching Concept Products

Beyond the major brands, HMD and Realme deserve attention, both showcasing cutting-edge concept products at MWC. HMD has invited Lei Technology to their launch event, confirming the unveiling of a product called HMDFusion, a modular phone. Realme will present a phone with an exposed CMOS and interchangeable lenses. While not entirely novel (Xiaomi 13 Ultra concept phone employed a similar design), it raises curiosity about Realme's production plans.

The increasing attention given to Chinese smartphone brands in overseas markets signals a larger-scale "battle royale" in the remainder of 2025, reflecting their accelerated expansion into international markets, particularly Europe.

II. 5G+AI is Not the Only Star of the Show; 6G is on the Horizon?

AI is undoubtedly the hottest topic and technology in recent years. The open-sourcing of DeepSeek's latest AI model has further fueled the fire, spreading AI's impact across industries. However, current AI solutions heavily rely on cloud computing power, tightly linking AI and 5G technology.

• Huawei: New Product Solutions Integrating 5G-A and AI Technologies

In its MWC pre-show materials, Huawei unveiled new product solutions integrating 5G-A and AI technologies. Leveraging the lower latency, higher bandwidth, and stability of 5G-A, these solutions significantly enhance the AI hardware and software experience and offer efficient deployment solutions. Huawei describes this new mobile communication solution as incorporating intelligence across the wireless network stack, using digital twin sites and digital human teams based on wireless intelligent agents to build a collaborative workflow intelligence system. This system achieves collaborative scheduling of network resources and agile deployment of diverse applications, better meeting the differentiated needs of the mobile AI era. In simpler terms, Huawei is expanding beyond providing base stations and cloud AI services to encompass the entire ecosystem, empowering third-party businesses to easily access 5G-A+AI. Huawei aims to be not just a service provider, but a cornerstone of the mobile AI ecosystem, making it a major highlight of MWC. Lei Technology will focus its coverage on the Huawei booth.
