It looks like Mobile World Congress in 2026 might be one of the most exciting editions in recent years. As usual, the biggest mobile technology event in the world takes place in Barcelona. This year, from March 2 to 5, we will see brand-new smartphone models, wearable tech, a lot of AI-powered devices, and plenty of exciting futuristic technologies, prototypes, and concepts. Here is what we know so far:
Nothing Phone 4A Lineup
Nothing won’t release a new flagship smartphone in 2026 (According to Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei), yet the highly anticipated Nothing Phone 4A and Phone 4A Pro are expected to be announced on March 5th, and MWC will be the first place you could see the new smartphones.
According to Carl Pei, the new 2026 lineup is being “completely overhauled,” with major upgrades planned for the display, camera system, and overall performance – aiming to deliver something closer to a flagship experience at a lower price point.

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite
Qwerty Keyboard fans will get an exciting new Blackberry-style smartphone, as Unihertz is expected to showcase the Titan 2 Elite at MWC 2026. The device features a physical QWERTY keyboard and compact form factor – clearly aimed at productivity-focused users and fans of tactile typing. While still at a prototype stage, Unihertz has already confirmed that the Titan 2 Elite will be available for hands-on demos in Barcelona from March 2 to March 5.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Lineup
Samsung does not usually use tech events to launch new products, and this year won’t be different – Samsung will announce the new Galaxy S26 lineup on February 25th. Still, the MWC will be one of the first places to see the new devices, as they are expected to be released around March 11.
