Highlights from MWC
Events like MWC are a treasure trove of innovations, showcasing both well-known brands and hidden gems. While some discoveries are anticipated, others pleasantly surprise attendees. Start-ups, major companies, and quirky niche brands are all gathered in this vibrant tech market atmosphere.
Exciting Innovations at MWC
What Lies Ahead After 5G?
It’s clear that following 5G, 6G is on the horizon. Although the fifth generation is still rolling out, discussions surrounding 6G technology were alive and well at MWC. This next mobile standard is highly anticipated for several compelling reasons.
According to industry leader Qualcomm, advancements in AI and innovations in the automotive sector, particularly self-driving cars, are expected to thrive with 6G. Additionally, each new mobile generation brings significant speed enhancements, which are projected to be substantial for 6G compared to its predecessor. Curious about whether new smartphones will be needed for 6G and when this next generation will launch? Stay tuned for more updates!
Changing Perceptions of Tesla
As a tech-focused publication, we refrain from delving into politics, but it’s evident that Tesla’s reputation as a standout in the electric vehicle market is shifting. Recently, several Teslas were deliberately set ablaze in France, highlighting a growing dissatisfaction.
In Europe, new registrations for Tesla vehicles are declining, and it’s safe to say that the brand’s popularity is waning.
Introducing the VW ID.1: The Affordable Electric Vehicle
While one company faces challenges, another is finding success. Volkswagen is garnering attention with models like the ID.7 Tourer, which has been lauded as one of the few available electric station wagons. This model achieved first place in new registrations in January 2025, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, while Tesla secured only seventh place.
Volkswagen has more exciting news to share. On Wednesday, they unveiled details about the upcoming VW ID.1, an adorable electric vehicle expected to retail at just 20,000 euros. The excitement in our office was palpable! You can read all the latest information on the VW ID.1 here.

Wrapping up this week’s tech showcase is a unique innovation from Lenovo, introduced at MWC in Barcelona. At first glance, this laptop stands out with its display back covered in solar cells.
You can likely guess the purpose of these cells—they significantly extend battery life, thanks to some clever engineering by Lenovo. We can’t help but wonder: why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?
