Welcome to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. This is the annual event in which we'll see some of the newest phones from the world's top manufacturers, as well as app developers. The event is in its last year at the Fira de Barcelona -- in 2013 it moves to the nearby (and newer) Gran Via facility.
We're live in Barcelona all week, bringing you all the announcements as they happen, along with hands-on coverage of all the new Android phones, tablets and apps. We're expecting big things from HTC, Sony, LG and others. Plus there's always a bunch of cool stuff that we might not get to see in the States. So keep it locked to AC in the days ahead for all the latest developments as they happen! If you can't wait that long, be sure to check out our MWC preview article.
A quick reminder that for those of you in the United States, Barcelona is between 6 and 9 hours ahead, depending on your time zone. Your best bet? Wake up early and keep your eyes glued t this page. (Sponsored by copious amounts of tapas, cervezas and smartphones.)
Here's a quick look back at what we've seen in the past year or so at Mobile World Congress:
- HTC unveiled the Legend and Desire lines in 2010, and sequels in 2011, including the ChaCha Facebook phone.
- Samsung at Mobile World Congress in 2011 unveiled the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy S II.
- Sony Ericsson has improved its Xperia line each year at MWC -- including the Xperia Play in 2011.
- LG unveiled the Optimus 3D and Optimus Pad at MWC last year.
- Google had one hell of a "booth" -- more like an entire hall -- in 2011.
In addition to all things Android, we'll be lending a hand for our sister sites, CrackBerry.com, WPCentral, iMore and webOSNation, so be sure to check them as well. Events kick off on Sunday, Feb. 26, and run all week. Be sure to bookmark this page for the latest Android news.
