MWC 2024: all the phones, wearables, and gadgets announced in Barcelona

It&rsquo;s that time of year again. Mobile World Congress has returned to Barcelona, filling the halls of the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via convention center from February 26th to February 29th. The trade show bills itself as &ldquo;the largest and most influential event for the connectivity ecosystem,&rdquo; with tens of thousands of attendees from manufacturers, mobile operators, and other companies.
We&rsquo;ve already seen announcements covering smartphones, laptops, and some wearables. Honor and Xiaomi have given their formerly China-exclusive smartphones global launches, Lenovo has a new range of laptops to show off, and OnePlus is back in the smartwatch game with the OnePlus Watch 2.
We&rsquo;ve also seen an up-close demo of Humane&rsquo;s AI Pin.
And, of course, there are some flashy concept devices and ideas that seem destined to disappear back into the industry&rsquo;s R&D labs after the show. Can I interest anyone in a laptop with a transparent screen?
Read on for all the biggest news coming out of the show, and be sure to check back, as we&rsquo;ll be updating this page regularly throughout the course of the week.
