Top show for mobile gadgets a magnet for hot handset launches

Visitors can expect to see faster, sleeker and all-around better smartphones at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the event billed as the world’s largest gathering for the mobile industry, if early leaks hold true. The leaks also suggest they might see retro gadgets made modern.

Stuff.NZ and other publications that are tracking leaks from the manufacturers see Samsung’s Galaxy S9 making its debut, and Huawei with another chance to make a stronger impression with the launch of its P20. According to the publication, Huawei might try to stomp dual-camera arrays by putting three cameras on the back of the P20. One of them is suggested to be a 40-megapixel shooter.

Many Moto phones can be expected, if the leaks hold true, a standard Moto G6, a Moto G6 Plus, and a Moto G6 Play with a display nearing 6 inches.

Nostalgia buffs can anticipate the re-release of the Nokia 3310, which was a lower-cost phone that first hit stores in Sep 2000, and BlackBerry is said to be coming back with a Black Edition and the company’s signature keyboard.
