Just when you've finished your laundry from CES and put away your suitcase, the technology trade show calendar beckons again. But instead of Las Vegas, this time the destination is Barcelona and the show is Mobile World Congress.
Running from February 22 to 25, Mobile World Congress is the year's largest event for the wireless industry. And don't let the word "Congress" put you to sleep -- MWC is exciting for two big reasons: we see a lot of new gadgets (check out the gallery below for just a sample of what debuted last year at MWC) and most of them actually go on sale. Phones take center stage, but we also expect new wearables and smartwatches, tablets, laptops, VR headsets and anything else that doesn't need a wire.
