Nothing Phone 3a series<\/h2>\n
At MWC 2022, Nothing\u2019s Carl Pei showed off a prototype of what would become the company\u2019s first handset, the Nothing Phone 1<\/a>, behind closed doors, and at last year\u2019s event, Nothing announced the Phone 2(a)<\/a>. This year, we\u2019re definitely getting at least one new device from the company at MWC, with Nothing teasing something for March 4, the second day of the show. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n I say at least one device because Nothing\u2019s invite<\/a> says \u201cPhone 3a Series.\u201d To add to that, recent reports<\/a> suggest the company is preparing to announce a Phone (3a) Pro alongside a regular offering. Why would Nothing release a \u201cPro\u201d version of a midrange device, you ask? I\u2019m not sure, but this is Nothing we’re talking about and the company has frequently done things a bit differently from the rest of the pack.<\/p>\n Phone (3a) Series. Power in perspective.<\/p>\n 4 March 10 AM GMT. pic.twitter.com\/auesJycJQy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nothing (@nothing) January 30, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n In 2024, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra made its global debut ahead of MWC<\/a>, and it\u2019s looking like history will repeat. Before the start of this month, there was some evidence to suggest Xiaomi would launch its new flagship at MWC 2025, but more recent rumors<\/a> suggest the company plans to announce the 15 Ultra on February 26. In any case, Xiaomi is listed as an exhibitor<\/a> at MWC 2025, so if the phone does debut before the end of this month, there\u2019s a good chance it will be on the show floor for people to try out. 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 Since 2017, HMD Global has been a mainstay at MWC. First, with its Nokia-branded phones, including retro throwbacks like the 8110 Reloaded<\/a>, and now more recently with devices carrying its own name<\/a>. Given that history, it seems a safe bet the company will have something to announce at the show. What that could be is more of a mystery, though it\u2019s possible the sub-$100 HMD Key<\/a> could get a global release.<\/p>\n After Samsung teased the Galaxy S25 Edge<\/a> at Unpacked last month<\/a>, you might think it would be fitting for the company to launch the phone in Barcelona next month. After all, MWC was the venue where, up until the Galaxy S10 in 2019<\/a>, Samsung announced every S series phone beginning with the S2 back in 2011, and the company\u2019s presence at MWC was the highlight of the event. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem Samsung is feeling nostalgic for and the sunny boulevards of Barcelona, with little in the way of rumors suggesting we could see the S25 Edge at MWC 2025. Still, never discount the chance Samsung may have a surprise up its sleeve.<\/p>\n As Engadget\u2019s resident AI reporter, I\u2019m obligated to mention a lot of companies will probably have AI-related announcements to share at MWC 2025. Don\u2019t expect anything from the big players like OpenAI \u2014 the company isn\u2019t registered as an exhibitor \u2014 but with artificial intelligence being the trendy thing in the industry right now, everyone will be trying to cash in on the hype; in fact, \u201cAI+<\/a>\u201d is one of the main themes of MWC 2025.<\/p>\n Update, February 21 2025, 1:45PM ET:<\/strong> This story has been updated to add more context in the intro, calling out a few more companies that typically present at MWC, as well as some additional info pulled from the MWC agenda page.<\/p>\n This article originally appeared on Engadget at https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/mobile\/smartphones\/what-to-expect-at-mobile-world-congress-2025-nothing-samsung-xiaomi-and-more-140057306.html?src=rss\n
