MWC

All the latest phones from Mobile World Congress, with news on the latest Samsung Galaxy, Sony Xperia, and Nokia and Alcatel handsets. It's a totally mobile Wrap.

2018 may well be the last year that 4G is a big deal, because at least one local telco plans to lift its game before 2020, readying 5G services across our big nation.

Last year's Samsung Galaxy S flagships changed the way we saw the world, with open screens that seemed to bleed into real life. This year, the camera will make that big picture even bigger.

The mid-range squeeze may well and truly be changing what you get for a low price in the smartphone world, but at least one manufacturer is keen to stamp its name all over value, as Alcatel demonstrates.
