Aside from mobile phone manufacturers though, tech companies like Intel will also be introducing and demonstrating new products or services at the event.

Also, internet search giant Google will reportedly make a major push of augmented reality technology for Android at the convention, according to a Variety report, citing sources who know about the company’s plans.

Google will reportedly release ARCore framework, “which will allow third-party developers to bring AR apps to Android phones.”

There may also be tech that can be used in cars to be presented at the MWC just like last year when Peugeot presented its Instinct concept car to the surprise of participants.
