We land in Barcelona, as the MWC gets ready to kick off

Hello from Barcelona! We’re already in position in the capital of Catalonia and we are eagerly expecting for the MWC to kick off. The main event officially starts on Monday, but Huawei, Sony and HTC will have their press conferences tomorrow evening.

This year we got plenty of announcements in advance with Samsung and LG both revealing their lineups for the event the previous two weeks. Still, tomorrow is quite a big day – Huawei looks to build on the success it had at CES with an even more successful MWC, while HTC will try to get back to the profitable ways by releasing the most powerful phone they have ever produced. Sony showed that it still has it with the Xperia S and they will certainly want to keep the fans happy by announcing even more impressive smartphones here.

The Huawei press conference starts tomorrow at 3:30PM CET (that's GMT+1), with the Sony and HTC events coming up later the same day. We'll be attending all three events and we'll be doing our best to provide the most detailed coverage possible. Just don't forget to keep an eye on our homepage when the time comes.

While you are waiting you might want to take a look at some of the great photos we took today while strolling around the city. Barcelona treated us to some wonderful weather and we really hope it will stay like this for the whole week.
