Believe me or not, I am super pumped to see more exciting pieces of technology wrapping off during the event. Just in one day, we have seen a lot more things from Xiaomi, Nokia, and Huawei. It seems the new era of smartphones has just begun because manufacturers are pushing the limits and trying to launch a new toy with better capabilities every day.
And because of this reason here we are with the round-up of today’s MWC launches. So, you never find yourself out of the smartphone newsroom. So, ladies and gentlemen here you go with the quick round up.
Xiaomi
Nothing new from Xiaomi except their all old Mi Mix 3 with new 5G network capability. Well, I don’t want you to blame me. The new Mi Mix 3 5G has noticeable changes under the hood. Now, it runs on all new Snapdragon 855 chipset because it brings the X50 modem enabled the device to connect with the 5G network.
Further, the company has also shown off their new Mi 9 device launched a few days back in China. But, with the MWC 2019 showcasing, the device is now available in three other countries includes France, Italy and Spain. You can catch Mi 9 details here.

Huawei
How we can forget the Samsung Galaxy Fold – maybe the first foldable smartphone from Samsung. But, I guess the device will not be able to gear up in the smartphone market (at least after Huawei’s new foldable phone).
