Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is traditionally the biggest show of the year when it comes to mobile innovation, and Huawei will be continuing that tradition by introducing its first foldable device. The invite the Chinese company just released makes it abundantly clear that this year’s promised foldable smartphone – which was expected to launch before Samsung – will make its official debut at MWC 2019. Huawei’s MWC keynote is scheduled for Sunday, February 24th at 2PM Barcelona time / 8AM ET.
In a separate tweet, Huawei is reinforcing this information by promising that MWC will showcase the “world’s first foldable 5G device.” 5G networks are still a long way from being fully operational, but 5G phones are moving forward as planned in 2019. Stay tuned for a deluge of huge new form factors ( LG is rumored to be planning a secondary display for its refreshed G line) and plenty of “5G” stickers as we approach the MWC gathering later this month.
