MWC 2016: What To Expect?

MWC 2015 has been gone, but the products which were announced there aren't likely to

be forgotten any time soon, from the flagship HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S6

smartphones, to the stylish Huawei Watch and the innovative Galaxy S6 Edge - and those

are just some of the highlights.

But we're already looking towards next year's show and thinking of all the things we want

to see, whether it's improvements on this year's offerings or completely new ideas,

there's a lot we're hoping for. #MWC2016 #smartphone

MWC 2016 - What We Want To See

Samsung and LG have teased us with the likes of the Galaxy S6 Edge and the LG G Flex 2,

but we want someone to take these ideas to the next step, with a bendable phone or at the

very least a phone which makes good use of its curves.

Hopefully something will manage that at MWC 2016 and hopefully it will be a flagship,

rather than being designed as a niche device. #BendyPhone #SmartPhone

A Truly Bendy Phone

Bigger Batteries Rather Than Slimmer Phones

We'll happily take a thicker phone if it means a bigger battery, we'll even pay a little more,

so hopefully the powers that be, or the people that make, are listening, and many of the

phones announced at MWC 2016 have great battery life. #MCW2016 #Batteries #Phones

Battery Innovation

New battery technology is being researched

all the time and hopefully by next year

some of that will have gone past the

research stage and been implemented into

smartphones. Origami batteries anyone? Or

how about super-fast charging ones?'

HTC One M10

The HTC One M9 launched at MWC 2015 and there's a good chance we'll see the HTC One

M10 at MWC 2016. But what specifically do we want? A better battery would be a good

start, but beyond that it needs to be substantially different to and better than the M9.

Samsung Galaxy S7

There's also a good chance we'll see the

Samsung Galaxy S7 at MWC 2016 and we

hope so too, especially after how impressive

the S6 was.

Battery life is a key concern again and it would

be good if Samsung could return some of the

features it cut from the S6, like a microSD card

slot and a water resistant build.

More Power, Without The Heat

No-one wants a toasty phone, especially not

when excessive heat can risk damaging the

innards too, so we hope whatever phones

are announced at MWC 2016 are even more

powerful, but without the heat. This

shouldn't be a problem, in fact Fujitsu

already claims to have the answer.

#Fujitsu

Smartwatches Hitting Their StrideThere needs to be other improvements too,

with battery life key among them. We hope

that by MWC 2016 many of the problems

faced by smartwatches will have been solved

and they'll be ready for prime time.

#SmartWatch

Modular Mayhem

We'll have to wait till MWC 2016 for a good

look at it, no, what we want by then is for

there to be a whole heap of modular phones,

or at least a whole heap of modules for

phones.

#MWC2016 #Spain #Barcelona

A Bigger Windows Phone PresenceWe probably won't have to wait until 2016 for a new flagship, but hopefully a new OS will

lead to a boost in popularity and with it a slew of new Windows Phone devices at MWC

2016. #WindowsPhone
