Although from the GSMA, the organizers of the highest event in mobile technology do not even question the realization of MWC 2020, the reality is that cases of Coronavirus are on the rise, restrictions on flights to and from China could mean problems logistics for Asian companies that are strong exhibitors at MWC 2020, such as Huawei and Xiaomi, two of the most important global manufacturers.

MWC 2020: Expected news

The MWC 2020 It also has to do with conferences given by renowned personalities in the sector, seminars and other events that will give us an idea of ​​the immediate future of this industry.

But let’s go to what really interests us, and it is nothing else what can we expect from MWC 2020, whose central theme, by the way, is “intelligent connectivity without limits”

Huawei at MWC would insist with its folding

Huawei Mate 30 Vs Huawei Mate 30 Pro front facing cameras

Huawei promises surprises in the MWC 2020just like you did last year’s edition, when you delighted thousands with the flip phone, Huawei Mate X. However, it is worth remembering that the Chinese giant has rarely used this event to present its highest-end devices.

So it seems unlikely that we see in the MWC 2020 to the long awaited Huawei P40, he says, a real wonder in terms of cameras. Although no one rules out a change in plans by the Chinese, it seems more likely that the official launch of the Huawei P40, and its brothers (P40 Pro and P40 Lite) will take place in the month of March.

What does seem likely is the presentation of the Huawei Mate Xs, a folding mobile quite similar in design to the previous version. However, Huawei has promised improvements in terms of software. Rumors suggest, for example, that the P30 Pro camera and the same processor as the Mate 30.

Sony promises surprises

Sony is another of the Asians that has us used to very interesting innovations and surely the MWC 2020 it will be the perfect setting. The Japanese company has already announced that it will hold a press conference on Monday, February 24 and it is likely to be the occasion to present the Sony Xperia 2 or as some rumors suggest, the Sony Xperia 5 Plus. Apparently, it is a device equipped with a Snapdragon 865 processor, 12GB of RAM and a 6.6-inch screen. They also say that it is a 5G mobile and 4K screen that to have it we will have to give our credit card a hard blow.

Xiaomi, is already the protagonist

Many eyes will be on Xiaomi at MWC 2020, especially the improved version of its successful Xiaomi Mi 9

It is impossible to imagine the MWC 2020 without Xiaomi, the Chinese manufacturer that turned the other mobile phone manufacturers in the world on their head, thanks to the excellent quality of their products and the low prices. Xiaomi has already announced that it will launch no less than 10 devices in this year that is just starting.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 It could be one of their most attractive pieces at the next appointment in Barcelona, ​​considering the enormous success of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi 9. Version 10 is a 5G device and they say it will be the delight of gamers, a virtue that has been winning this Chinese company in the most recent two years.

But what about Samsung at MWC 2020?

Samsung bets on its Galaxy A series at MWC 2020

It’s true, Samsung is the great benchmark in the smartphone segment. Much has been speculated whether the MWC 2020 will be the setting chosen for the expected launch of the Samsung Galaxy S11. Well, you may have to save your desire for later, because that event is scheduled for February 11 in San Francisco, United States.

In any case, Samsung is Samsung and any product with its signature always attracts attention. Korean giant promises to make major announcements of hit series Galaxy A, highly appreciated in the upper mid-range market. In this sense, they already take for granted that Samsung will place special emphasis on the Galaxy A90 5G, its first offering with this connectivity for a wider audience range.

Samsung A90 is Samsung’s first “cheap 5G mobile” bet

The other of series A that will seek to obtain the approval of those present by MWC 2020, is he Galaxy A80, whose main attraction is its rear camera, capable of rotating until it is on the front of the device. But we repeat that the best of Samsung, the high-end of the S series, which could well be called Galaxy S20, will be reserved for your particular event in the United States prior to MWC.

Nokia and Motorola, the tough guys of the old guard

Nokia insists on regaining the prominence it enjoyed in the 90s and the first years of the current century. It seems that the mainstay of his presentation in the MWC 2020 will be the new version of Nokia 9 Pure View. It would be another 5G device and with notable improvements in the photographic range.

Another of the great names of always, Motorola, could use the MWC 2020 to show us the new successor of the Moto G8 and other family members.

Oh, and as always, forget about the possibility of seeing the iPhone 12 at MWC 2020 because as you know, Apple never goes to MWC.

From the first OPPO Reno to the most recent OPPO launch with the OPPO Reno 2, the Chinese brand has shown that it aims ways with very good quality terminals and high-end features at a contained price … although perhaps not so much.
