Mobile World Congress is traditionally the biggest annual phone and mobile event in tech, and this year, The Verge is back covering the show in person. We’re expecting a lot of news from phone makers like OnePlus, Honor, and Realme. Google and Lenovo have also both been known to make a splash at the show, and with Matter finally out in the wild, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a few smart home gadgets pop up as well.

MWC 2023

Huawei is one of the biggest phone makers in the world, but the company’s success, combined with China’s national security laws, has raised security concerns in the US. These concerns mean that Huawei, a Chinese manufacturer, has not been able to sell its phones in the US, and the situation has escalated. President Trump signed an executive order that blocks US companies from buying foreign-made telecoms equipment, and the US Commerce Department placed Huawei on the “Entity List,” which prevents it from buying technology from US companies without government approval. In response, Google suspended Huawei’s Android license, meaning that Google will no longer provide the Chinese firm with forthcoming Android updates. As a result, Huawei phones don't have access to the Google Play Store (meaning no Android apps), and they can't use Google services. But Huawei keeps building phones, and people all over the world keep buying them.
