After months of rumors and more leaks than you can shake a half dozen cameras at, the Nokia 9 PureView has finally been officially announced at MWC 2019. The phone, which is most notable for its eye-catching array of five rear-facing cameras, puts a huge focus on photography, though you probably could have guessed as much by looking at it.

The Nokia 9 PureView is a high(ish)-end flagship with specs that will be familiar to anyone who has shopped for a new smartphone over the past year or so.

It was only two years ago that HMD Global stormed Mobile World Congress with what was one of the most anticipated press conferences of the event. Just like that, Nokia was back, baby — and Nokia Android phones became exciting for the first time in the history of the brand. Since then, the company launched quite a few entry-level and mid-range Android devices, as well as a few flagships that weren’t entirely ready to compete against their direct rivals. The main focus was clear: HMD wanted to sell affordable devices around the world, and the company quickly expanded in various markets like China, Europe, and the US.

But that doesn’t mean HMD is steering clear of high-end devices that will take on the latest iPhone and Galaxy S models. MWC 2019 will bring us the first such device, the Nokia 9 PureView that has been rumored for 2 years now. And the Nokia 9 just so happens to be the world’s first handset with a five-lens camera setup on the back.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences raised a bit of a fuss recently when it proposed adding a new category to the Oscars this year — that of a “Most Popular” movie. The thinking being, the “Best Picture” Oscar doesn’t necessarily recognize that popularity metric, right?

The Academy of course walked it back, but we should note that the “Best Picture” category as a whole this year has actually generated a strong collective box office haul. As Variety reported in recent days, the $1.3 billion in box office receipts earned by this year’s “Best Picture” nominees is the best performance in almost a decade. Let’s look a little deeper at this, though.

In the weeks that preceded MWC 2019, Huawei teased that it would unveil a foldable phone at the show. Then with a couple of days to go until Huawei’s press event, that device leaked. Well, that leaked device is very real, it’s gorgeous, and it also happens to be Huawei’s first 5G smartphone. Unfortunately I only got to see the new Mate X from a distance, because the media wasn’t allowed to handle the prototypes that Huawei had on hand at the show.

Instead of launching new mobile phones last year at MWC 2018, Huawei unveiled a brand new high-end laptop that looked like a MacBook Pro competitor, as well as a bunch of new Android tablets.

But if you haven’t upgraded your laptop in a while then you should know Huawei is back at MWC 2019 with an even better version of the MateBook X Pro. The company calls it the new MateBook X Pro, and it’s the flagship of the MateBook series.

Samsung a few days ago surprised fans and competitors by unveiling the Galaxy Fold in all its glory, well before the Galaxy S10’s name was even mentioned on stage. Samsung’s started the Unpacked event with a segment worthy of a “one more thing” moment, as the Korean giant knew well ahead of time what would follow at MWC 2019. Samsung’s main Android threat right now would surely launch a foldable handset of its own, one it has been teasing for months now. Thanks to a leak on Friday we already know what the device is and exactly what it’ll look like. The Huawei Mate X is labeled as the world’s first 5G foldable phone on a billboard spotted in Barcelona, and it’s the anti-Galaxy Fold, if you will.

While we expect the first wave of 5G smartphones to be more expensive than their 4G counterparts, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi just proved it doesn’t care about any of that. A few days ago, Xiaomi launched the Mi 9 flagship, including a version with 12GB of RAM that’s significantly cheaper than the 12GB Galaxy S10+ that was unveiled on the same day. Now, Xiaomi just opened the Sunday press conference tour at the Mobile World Congress by launching an incredibly affordable 5G phone.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi shocked the world a few days ago by launching a smartphone with 12GB of RAM that’s somehow still incredibly affordable compared to the $1,600 Galaxy S10+ with 12GB of RAM that was unveiled last week. Is there anything left to show off at MWC 2019? Xiaomi certainly seems to think so, and will kick off Sunday’s series of press conferences in Barcelona, Spain with an event of its own that’s scheduled to begin at 4:30 AM EST. If you’re awake — or if you’re in Europe where the show starts at 10:30 AM — you’ll definitely want to check it out.
