This year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC), to be held from February 26-March 1, is anticipated to highlight on the continued advancement of 5G technology.
As reported in Xinhua, this event will be marked by the presence of around 170 international delegations, which will exhibit new products; talk about the potential mobile communications industry and generate around 13,000 temporary jobs with an approximate economic impact of around 471 million Euros ($579 million).
As usual, the MWC will see numerous companies displaying new gadgets, with Samsung expected to grab the attention with its Galaxy S9 and S9+ models display, at the same time launches are also anticipated from Asus, Sony, HMD (Nokia), Lenovo/Moto and TCL Communications.
As per the prediction of some experts, the progress being made in 5G could end up being a setback for devices and several potential buyers could be persuaded to put off the purchase of a new smart-phone until 2019 as 5 G devices are anticipated to be available commercially then.
During this prominent event, topics, for example, artificial intelligence and the ethical issues surrounding its implementation will be highlighted in various speeches, presentations and panel discussions.
