MWC 2023: Here's what to expect at this year’s Mobile World Congress

• Mobile World Congress 2023 will take place at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona from 27 February to 2 March 2023.
• At least five Android phone manufacturers are participating in the event.
• During the event, expect to see new devices and technologies from OnePlus, Xiaomi, Tecno, Realme, Samsung, and more.

The Mobile World Congress is the largest mobile phone exhibition globally, where major Android smartphone manufacturers gather to showcase and introduce their latest technologies. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, MWC experienced a hiatus for two years, and its 2022 event was smaller in scale than prior years.

The Mobile World Congress was once the major event for premier device reveals by big names like Samsung. However, most manufacturers now opt to introduce their flagship products individually. For instance, Oppo Find N2 Flip's global launch was held on 15 February, while Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S23 series earlier in the same month. Nevertheless, we are aware of at least five other Android phone manufacturers participating in the event.

The MWC 2023 will take place at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona from 27 February to 2 March 2023.

Below, we will provide you with information on all the manufacturers that have verified their participation at the Mobile World Congress 2023.
