About

There’s no bigger show for mobile tech geeks than Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. As CES in January shed many of the biggest mobile announcements, MWC has maintained a steady cadence of delivery hard-hitting news in the mobile world. For 2021, though, that isn’t necessarily the case. Due to ongoing restrictions and health concerns around the world, MWC 2021 is greatly diminished in size and importance. There is a show happening, but it is mostly taking place virtually — and because of that, many companies have decided to pull out of the show or scale back their attendance. Still, we’re following everything coming out of the show happening in Barcelona. It runs from June 28 to July 1, officially.
