Mobile World Congress is the world's largest trade show for the mobile industry. The 2013 show began in Barcelona yesterday and closes on Thursday. Around 60,000 people are expected to attend throughout the week. |
There are keynote addresses, product launches and a trade fair that covers 240,000 square feet, spread across eight exhibition halls. |
One company that isn't there this year is Google but the search giant can be confident that its Android operating system will feature heavily across the show, as this mascot demonstrates. |
Nokia announced four new handsets including a budget smartphone, the Lumia 520, and a cheap feature phone with a 35-day battery life. |
Sony was one of many companies touting new tablets. The Xperia Z tablet is waterproof and dust resistent, like the Xperia Z smartphone, announced in Las Vegas last month. |
However, Samsung did announce another model in its Note range. The Note 8 is an eight-inch tablet that will site between the Note 2 (five inches) and the Note 10.1 in the Samsung range. All three come with Samsung's S-Pen stylus. |
Also on show was Samsung's Galaxy Camera - a compact camera running the Android operating system. |
Vuzix will hope that its M100 smart glasses will attract attention in a year sure to be dominated by Google's Glass launch. |
