MWC 2019: A schedule of events and what to expect

Here's when all the events are taking place and what we expect from each and every company that will attend. As usual with MWC, most of the companies tend to keep off their major announcements away from the torrents of news coming from the MWC grounds, so we won't see the Galaxy Sasmung S10 announced at the event. 

NB: The schedule below covers only the larger phone manufacturers that have so far confirmed they will host press events and conferences. We will include any other events as soon as the rest of the MWC attendees finalize their plans.

Samsung 

February 25

Samsung will be the biggest manufacturer to attend MWC'19, and rest assured its newest wares will be on display. We expect the Galaxy S10, S10+, and a Galaxy S10 Lite (E) to be unveiled in San Fransisco on February 20, a mere couple days before the media expo kicks off. Aside from the new crop of Galaxy spring chickens, there's a high chance we'd hear more about Samsung's future plans on the upcoming 5G rollout, as well as further details about the Bixby-powered home smart speaker, Bixby itself, and probably an upcoming wearable device. We are not aware of any other possible announcements, but we'd love to be surprised.

Nokia

February 24

HMD’s social media active Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas, was unsurprisingly the one to make the rather predictable announcement that Nokia will be present on MWC'19 on Twitter, only mentioning a date for now. Hopefully, Nokia will finally release the anticipated Nokia 9 that has been rumored for well over a year now.

LG 

February 24

LG will unveil its G8 flagship at MWC'19, with the accompanying teaser heavily-hinting at the arrival of navigation gestures. Other than that, LG has kept the phone under thick wraps for now, with not that much legitimate leaks and rumors making the rounds. So far, we expect the G8 ThinQ to feature a 6.1-inch LCD display (possibly with a 2160 x 4665 resolution) and boast the Snapdragon 845 chipset under the hood.
