Mobile World Congress - Showcase for New Smartphones

The 2016 Mobile World Congress will take place February 22-25 in Barcelona. With the montra that 'everything is mobile' MWC enthusiasts anticipate seeing a bevy of new smartphones ... either live demos of orderable products or announcements about nexgen products on the vendors roadmaps.

Here is a small sample of what we might expect: Samsung's The Galaxy S7 is expected to come in two variants, the smaller 5.1-inch S7 and the larger 5.5-inch S7 edge with a dual curved display. Besides the usual spec upgrades on the insides - faster processor, upgraded RAM, new camera sensor, and etc. LG G5 flagship, the LG G5, is also expected to be launched on exactly the same day right before the start of the MWC. Unlike the S7, however, there will only be one variant of the G5, either a 5.5-inch or a 5.6-inch 4K display. That's it - no mini nor plus sizes coming from LG. Still, of all the major smartphone brands basically making slight upgrades from their past flagships, it looks like LG is the only one doing something radically different with the G5. Thirdly,  is the Xiaomi's Mi 5. Though the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is yet to sell its devices in the United States, the company is huge in Asia. Between the S7 and the G5, the Mi 5 will be the largest of the three Asian-made flagships. Hugo Barra, the former Google VP for Android and now Xiaomi vice president, tweeted an image boasting that the Mi5 is "All you ever imagined, and more." Which of these three Asia-built phones has the ability to become the Android market share leader?
