Following our pre-show blog of what to expect by company and topic at MWC, this is a summary of our "top 3" mobile devices / smartphones we recommend you go see at the event:
1. Samsung Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge: Rumored to be a 4G LTE Android flagship model with glass body, metal frame and 5-inch S-AMOLED display. Galaxy S6 Edge may also feature a curved or double-curved display. Both of the models are rumoured to support wireless charging and multiple memory-sizes of 32 / 64 / 28 GB.
2. HTC One M9: A rumoured new flagship model of its predecessor, the
One M8. It looks set to be a 4G LTE
Android 5.0 Lollipop handset with
metal-unibody case. The new device should run on a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Octa-core processor and feature a 5-inch 1080P display, plus 20-megapixel rear-camera.
3. LG Magna/ Spirit/ Leon/ Joy: LG has pre-announced four new mid-range handsets, just before MWC. Magna, Spirit, Leon and Joy run on
Android 5.0 Lollipop and 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz quad-core processors with 5.0-inch, 4.7-inch, 4.5-inch and 4.0-inch displays, respectively. All four models will be available in LTE and 3G versions.
Looking at the multiple upcoming models from LG, HTC and others, it is fair to conclude
Android Lollipop will be playing a bigger role at MWC, following its lackluster launch and consumer-reception in recent months.
