Although it may not be the premier event it once was, numerous notable smartphone manufacturers from around the globe still attend the conference and frequently unveil new devices. Typically, companies such as Lenovo, Arm, Xiaomi, Dell, and others participate in the conference, along with standards organizations like the GSMA, which discuss developments in areas like 5G and SIM technology. Occasionally, bigger players like Samsung and LG also join in.

Below, you\u2019ll find a list of the more notable devices we expect to be launched at MWC 2025.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"nothing-phone-3a-series\">Nothing Phone 3a series<\/h2>\n<p>At MWC 2022, Nothing\u2019s Carl Pei showcased a prototype of what would become the company\u2019s first handset, the <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/nothing-phone-1-design-reveal-070808818.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Nothing Phone 1;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nothing Phone 1<\/a>, behind closed doors, and at last year\u2019s event, Nothing announced the <a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/this-is-what-the-nothing-phone-2a-looks-like-111015652.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Phone 2(a);cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phone 2(a)<\/a>. This year, we\u2019re definitely getting at least one new device from the company at MWC, with Nothing teasing the reveal of the 3a series for March 4, the second day of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Since Engadget first published this article, Nothing has gone on to reveal the design of one of the phones it plans to announce next week, the 3a Pro. On Monday, the company posted a nearly <a data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1ieD5Vwj8A?si=QCQSAks1pqBNz4To\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:11-minute long video;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">11-minute long video<\/a> showcasing the design of the upcoming device. Notably, the phone features a prominent camera bump to accommodate a periscope telephoto lens. That&#8217;s not something we see on many phones in the 3a price range, so it will be interesting to see how it performs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"xiaomi-15-ultra\">Xiaomi 15 Ultra<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 600px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:63%\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview has-width\" alt=\"Xiaomi 14 Ultra\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/qqBhM_cWU8Z2MjouB8MIBQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYwMA--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-02\/0c513e10-d16f-11ee-b3a2-43de52cd86e4\" height=\"600\" width=\"960\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Xiaomi 14 Ultra\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/qqBhM_cWU8Z2MjouB8MIBQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYwMA--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-02\/0c513e10-d16f-11ee-b3a2-43de52cd86e4\" height=\"600\" width=\"960\" class=\"caas-img has-width\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"caption-collapse\"><span class=\"caption-credit\"> Xiaomi<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>In 2024, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra made its global debut <a data-i13n=\"cpos:7;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/xiaomi-14-ultra-combines-a-1-inch-camera-sensor-with-four-ai-imaging-models-131127654.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:ahead of MWC;cpos:7;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ahead of MWC<\/a>, and it\u2019s looking like history will repeat.

Like the 14 Ultra before it, it looks like the 15 Ultra will be a photography powerhouse, with the phone rumored to feature a 1-inch main sensor and 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"caas-jump-link-heading\" id=\"hmd-global\">HMD Global<\/h2>\n<p>Since 2017, HMD Global has been a mainstay at MWC.
