All Android although Microsoft may announce a Lumia 750 or even an 850.

Looking forward to see what the HP is like.

hellarda · 20 Feb 2016 at 13:31

I'm working on the Ericsson stand again this year, the 5G stuff they have is unbelievable. 25 gigabit........

Edit
It's only the z6 possibility I'm interested in

Mr_Cool · 20 Feb 2016 at 14:32

Wouldnt expect Z6.

Midrange will be much more likely.

Glaucus · 20 Feb 2016 at 14:46

Expecting to see a few more w10 devices.
X3 elite sounds amazing see if the rumours are right.

Also interested if cyanogen will release any more official phones.

Shoei · 20 Feb 2016 at 15:28

Be nice to see what the X3 is like. Spec looks good.

Smeghead · 20 Feb 2016 at 15:53

Oppo are said to be announcing something exciting in the battery and camera department too.

IDOL 4S specs are pretty good. All depends on price though. It's got to be £300 or under to compete.

http://www.gsmarena.com/embargo_7pm...unveils_new_idol_4_line_an_mwc-news-16754.php

he more premium Alcatel IDOL 4S ups the stakes even further with a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED display inside its 153.9 x 75.4 x 6.99 mm body. The processor is also improved - the Snapdragon 652 (4xA72 + 4xA57 28nm HPm). Storage is bumped up from the core model to 32GB (25GB accessible) and so is the battery - 3000 mAh,

Another innovation to the series, which Alcatel made sure to stress upon is a new physical button, dubbed the BoomKey. It is mapped to do a whole bunch of interesting things across the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, some admittedly more logical than others. "Boom my camera" for instance is a quick way to shoot photos from standby and "Boom my music" promises audio optimization, no matter what is playing (although it raises the question why would you want to have it off). "Boom my videos", introduces "surprising effects in existing videos", "Boom my game" releases Nitro in Asphalt games and "Boom my view" intensifies the 3D parallax effect in the launcher.

And while we are on the topic of sound, both IDOL handsets promise a superb experience, thanks to the collaboration with JBL and Waves. This includes two powerful 3.6 watt speakers, Hi-Fi surround-sound for the headset, and optimization of audio presets both automatically and manually.

And that, HTC, is how you do stereo speakers.

stoosh · 21 Feb 2016 at 12:47

Looking forward to the Xiaomi and Huawei offerings.

biron_w · 21 Feb 2016 at 12:59

Those IDOL phones are very nice looking.

Azza · 21 Feb 2016 at 13:04

I don't know about the G5 design. Something looks "off".

Chris344 · 21 Feb 2016 at 13:30

Excited for the S7 Edge

Agree, looks more like an HTC. Would've preferred black all over.

Spec wise, they've nailed it but I'm not expecting those add-ons to be cheap.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 21 Feb 2016 at 13:35

They say they're releasing the port to OEMs though so expect Chinese clones!

Edit: No app drawer on the G5? Lolwut.
