MWC 2026: all the phones, gadgets, and announcements from Barcelona

The Verge is heading to Barcelona, Spain, for Mobile World Congress, the biggest phone show of the year.

CES may dominate the headlines when it comes to TVs, computer components, and AI inanity, but for all things mobile MWC has it beat. Since it’s a global show, that includes all manner of announcements of phones, tablets, and wearables that won’t necessarily release in the US.

The likes of Samsung and Google will be there too, but mostly to talk about the already-announced 10A and S26 models, while Apple is launching something during the same week as MWC, but not actually in Barcelona.
