There are several "headliners" who fall from the MWC, the most anticipated event in the world of technology. The imminent Mobile World Congress this year promised a lot, but little by little that expectation is deflated. Followers of the Korean brand eagerly awaited the 2017 edition to meet Samsung's new bet, the Galaxy S8. But they will have to settle for knowing what the date chosen for their presentation will be.
The 2.017 MWC will not show the world the new S8.
This year no. Samsung communicated its decision not to present what will be its new banner at the MWC in Barcelona. The reason has not been revealed but could be several. Maybe give it the hype it deserves in an exclusive event to be presented without sharing the stage with other brands. Although there are already several speculations about a possible setback, which is completely unlikely. Would Samsung risk making a new mistake in 2017? And although the Samsung stand at MWC 2017 will be somewhat sad by the absence of the new model, everything indicates that we will be able to know the new version of its tablet.
Xiaomi Nor will it present any novelty in the event that it will give eating on February 27. AND will not present anything new because it is another of the important firms that this year will be absent. Therefore, another new terminal that we will not be able to know in this edition of the MWC. The Mi 6 aspired to become one of the stars of the congress, but this will not happen either.
Is the MWC losing interest among the big firms?
In addition to the already usual absence of Apple to this type of event, we know that Xiaomi and HTC will not attend this year either.. But even with these absences, the cast of brands is important, and some also manage to create excitement at MWC ´17. Huawei will get more attention than other years, so the spotlights can focus more on the new P10. LG will be able to turn the page and forget about modular phones, something that did not reach the expected success anywhere.
Motorola and Sony, which have also confirmed their presence, could have an ace up their sleeve. There are several speculations about a Motorola entry-level model that could restore its hegemony in that market. And Sony could be about to launch a complete makeover of all Xperia models. He needs to raise his head from a 2016 that has been so bad for some. Both firms hope to lift their heads from this year's MWC.
Nokia among the most anticipated.
But if there is a firm that will be warmly received, it is Nokia. The return of this mythical brand to the world of telephony has been welcomed by a large multitude of users. And in addition to the leaks about the new Nokia smartphones that seem to be stomping there are other rumors. It seems that one day was a leader could prepare a tribute phone to a mythical, the Nokia 3310.
If you had a Nokia 3310 in your hands you could be combing gray hair. Although it seems like yesterday, 3310 is about to turn twenty years old. A phone that in its day it surprised with its innovative design. It paved the way for future designs with its curves and with its colors. It was a robust mobile with an endless battery. Y the unforgettable and addictive game Snake offered us something very remembered.
So far there is no official information. But rumors point to a very basic terminal, but at an unbeatable price. We do not yet know what type of technology it will include, or the finishes, etc. And it seems like it won't matter much if its price ends up being $ 59. Wouldn't you indulge yourself by buying a Nokia 3310 for what a good dinner costs?.
If this information is true, Nokia would achieve large numbers in a short time. A campaign with a very good reception pulling nostalgia, as other technology companies have done. Entering a basic range can be very profitable. And surely many former Nokia users would buy a 3310 if only as a replacement phone. We will soon see how much truth there is.
