WC is just weeks away, kicking off
on 27 February. This would usually
entail the launches of several high-
end phones, including the latest Samsung,
LG, HTC and Sony flagships. Not so in 2017.
Why? Because of Samsung.
It all boils down to the fact that Samsung
has helped Qualcomm to manufacture its
latest Snapdragon 835 chip, which is the one
all the 2017 flagships are queueing up to get
hold of. But Samsung has the exclusive on this
mobile processor, and no other manufacturer
can announce a phone that includes the chip
before it. So when is Samsung launching its
Galaxy S8? March. Of course it is.
Too late for MWC, and therefore too late for
many of its competitors to unveil Snapdragon
835 flagships at the show, no-one is really sure
whether this was Samsung’s game plan all along
or if it just wants to make double-sure its Galaxy
S8 isn’t going to explode thanks to a faulty battery.
Don’t panic, though, as there’s still lots to get
excited about for MWC. LG is said to be not playing
Samsung’s game, and will launch a Snapdragon
821-toting G6 alongside two new smartwatches –
the first to run Android Wear 2.0. We could also see
an updated Huawei Watch with the new OS. And
then there’s the Moto G (or rather the ninth and
tenth Moto G), the UK’s favourite budget phone.

What to
expect at MWC 2017

WC 2017 is approaching and the mobile-
focused show in Barcelona could have a
lot of great new products in store. Here
we preview the show, which starts on 27 February
and show you what to expect at MWC 2017 from
Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC, Huawei and more.
Samsung
Right off the bat, we know that Samsung will not
be announcing the Galaxy S8 at MWC this year.
An executive has confirmed that the company
won’t follow its usual tradition of revealing the
new flagship in Barcelona. It’s unclear when it
will arrive but most are tipping April.
So what will Samsung launch at MWC 2017?
Well you can bet that it will have a range of
products on show with possible devices including
the Galaxy Tab S3 and Galaxy TabPro S2 –
both tablets but new wearables are always a

possibility despite the recent Gear S3. The Tab
S3 is looking like a dead cert with a couple of
recent leaks and the image used for Samsung’s
press conference invite (above).
In terms of phones, Samsung already
introduced the new Galaxy A range for 2017
at CES and while there are some rumours the
Galaxy Note 8 could make an appearance and
MWC, we think it’s a long shot.
LG
It’s pretty much a given that the star of LG’s show
will be the new G6 flagship smartphone which
has been leaked recently. If the information is
correct, it seems LG is ditching the modular
design of the LG G5 and opting for a sleek design
with tiny bezels (see page 6). Interestingly the
phone will also have, we think, a 5.7in display
with an unusual 18:9 (2:1) aspect ratio. The firm is
also thought to be launching new Android Wear
