    Some interesting devices coming out this year. I we alot of Android wear variants coming online.

    I've yet to jump on the wear ship but the new Huawei watch looks very interesting.


    Anything anyone is waiting to see released?

    As was I until the latest leaks... A rehash of the M8, with the massive black bar at the bottom... Such a letdown 😠

    Yeah I was also hoping for smaller bezels.

    And the S6/edge? They are looking promising but I'll withhold judgement until it's confirmed whether they keep a microSD card slot.

    I'm really excited about the LG G4 if that gets released. The G Flex 2 is definitely going in the right direction.

    Will current phone prices come down after MWC, or am I wasting my time waiting? I'm with Three and want to get a Z3 Compact.

    Or is there some other place online I can get it for cheaper than €470... :(

    Hoping one of the smaller manufacturers surprise us. Maybe some decent Wear watches.

    Making the move from apple to android so very excited about the event, had my eye on the s6 edge, m9 has decent specs but Im hearing is still similar in appearance to the m8

    Galaxy unpacked is on YouTube in a few minutes
    I'd like to see an awesome S6 not sure it will happen though.

    Leaks and the like are pointing to be a massive let down for myself. Hoping most leaks are wrong! Was holding out my upgrade for it but I might hold out longer for the G4!

    The top and bottom bezel look huge from what I've seen, I hope they're not.

    Is that likely to be picked up by one or the network carriers? Played around with g3 and really liked it but can't afford to buy a phone sim free!

    LG have previously stated that they won't be presenting the G4 at MWC, too much attention being focused on other devices e.g. Samsung. Looks like it will be May until the G4 comes out.

    Pity, as I need a replacement for my trusty Nexus 4, the LG G3 is not quite there especially with battery life and the OnePlus One is a tad too large for my liking.

    The Lenovo Vibe Shot looks interesting too

    This looks like a nice upgrade from my SJ4000.
    Most xiaomi accessories I've picked up are great value and quality. And seriously competitively priced compared to western alternatives.

    Announced yesterday at MWC

    Yeah was glad the rumours were true about the Yi cam, gonna pick it up from aliexpress as soon as a reputable seller has it, was gonna buy an SJ4000 last week until I heard about it on gizchina

    Apart from the routine announcements around the latest HTC and Samsung model for 2015 I wasn't expecting to see much apart from the latest sub 100 dollar phones aimed at the BRIC countries. Nice to see both Huawei and xiaomi having new accesories.

    LG G flex 2 has a lot of what I'm looking for in a device. Hoping that they'll improve the amoled screen for the G4. Doubt it though, they'll probably stick with what they have already.

    I'm tempted by the 128gb S6 edge. They amount of space could sway me. Even the 64 isn't too bad, but I'll be waiting for the reviews.

    Don't know if it will happen at MWC but I'm really looking forward to the European launch of the HP Stream mini PC
