MWC has come to an end, which means it’s time for the Best of MWC 2025 list, featuring the standout smartphones, accessories, and gadgets that we saw at the event.
This year, AI was everywhere, in smartphones, IoT gadgets, and even network solutions. But more importantly, there were a bunch of hardware innovations too. Brands from Honor, Xiaomi, Realme, Huawei, Lenovo, and even Samsung shared the latest innovations with the world, some of them really unique and interesting.
Read on to find out more.
 Multiple Galaxy S23 Ultra users have recently reported the green line issue on their devices. In the latest news, X user @SamsungSWUpdate shared images of the base Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra affected by the issue. In many cases, the affected users reported that the phones didn’t have any physical damage or external factors like drops or water exposure. |  A recent report suggested that Xiaomi’s upcoming 16 Pro could feature a 3D-printed metal middle frame, and now, another well-known tipster, Digital Chat Station (DCS), has backed up the claim while providing some additional details. As previously reported, Xiaomi is reportedly opting for a 3D-printed metal frame to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. |
 Samsung has already teased its ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge. Now, Honor is stepping into the same arena for bar phones. According to a recent leak from Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the brand is reportedly developing a 6.3-inch (which is considered to be compact) phone, which is also "ultra-thin”. |  Nothing and POCO are brands that are unique for different reasons. One is known for its quirky smartphone design, while another is a popular choice for those looking for great specs at an aggressive price point. But which one is better for you? Which one should you choose between the two? Here’s everything you might need to consider. |
