There was also a laughable dual screen phone released by LG. Guys, what were you thinking? Instead of a cutting edge foldable screen, LG literally attached two independent smartphones and called that a foldable smart device – not so wise. The reviewers will have a feast!

5G Buzz everywhere
The race to create new ways to experience the power of connectivity made possible by 5G is fully on. Almost all leading Android brands (Apple is the obvious absentee here) have launched 5G devices. While the technology is still in its early stages of rollout, we can see what the next decade is going to be like.
How cool is this! This is the potential that 5G has for the music industry. These musicians at #MWC19 are performing at separate locations. With a 5G location & low latency there is almost zero delay while playing live. @EricssonMEA #EricssonLive @Ericsson pic.twitter.com/seftl6rB61

Nokia making a comeback
The brand that once dominated the global mobile phone market is pushing hard to make a strong comeback with 5G connectivity and bizarre phone designs.
At #MWC19, @Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri says #5G is here & we have the right strategy — leading in high-performance end-to-end networks w/ operators; select #enterprise expansion; strong stand-alone #software business; enterprise/consumer licensing opps. @ZDNet https://t.co/Zk2TYIJIAO

A lot of virtual reality gear is on display. We’re anxious to see how developers will create apps to take advantage of all this new hardware.
That’s it for today’s update. Watch out for the next post with many more exciting finds at #MWC19.
