[MWC 2024 ROUND-UP]
How many ways can you fold a phone? Are Google smartwatches poised for a comeback? Is it time to reconsider modular accessories? And … do you even need a phone anymore?
I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent a week in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2024 with all the new mobile devices trying to answer those questions!

I have a feeling, that Lenovo (and Motorola) are going with Aperture Science philosophy. They're not asking "Why?", they're asking "Why not? Why shouldn't we make this?"

So did the makers of Hypercolor t-shirts, wrist snap bracelets and fidget spinners, to name relevant examples. They're selling to fad buyers.
I think something everyone should always remember is technology can be impressive and useless at the same time. There is a ton of stuff here most people will never use

Hi Michael, Appreciate your clear, direct and comprehensive disclosures. I am pretty sure other reviewers got free food and drinks from HMD etc. but did not disclose it. In their defense this may be irrelevant but appreciate your extra effort in this direction. Cheers!
11:30 the ball bouncing thing! I did something pretty much identical in highschool, about 10 years ago. We used Arduinos for the balancing part, and a Kinect for the vision part.

The phone you saw for a second is the Punkt MC02 a $750 (+$17 per month after the trial ends or else you don't get to use the included apps) phone running the mid range Dimensity 900. It just runs modified android, a fork of grapheneos to be exact. If you want a privacy focused phone ironically google is your best bet, that + grapheneos gives you the best camera, good performance, and since prices for pixels drop like bricks a better deal. the best thing I can say about the punkt phone is that it has a headphone jack and microSD
HMD fusion could actually work. Their interface is super simple (it's just USB2 and an ADC pin), which makes it really simple to implement anything on it. Kinda bummed that I already bought a new phone this year, otherwise I probably would have started developing a side-slider version of my Fairberry keyboard attachment for this phone.
Would definitely like to see a full review for the OnePlus Watch, especially since you use Garmins and other fancier options so much.
I love that Motorola trying to fill the shoes of LG with crazy and exciting ideas
Yes please on the OnePlus watch 2 review. Keep it up Mr Mobile!

The only Moto module I don't own is the Hasselblad one, since that was like $250 and near impossible to find. I do have the projector one and the 360 one.
What the developers at humane should do is to keep the AI Pin concept alive and pair it with AR glasses. This would totally revolutionize our smartphone experience. Picture this: when you want an immersive experience, you pop on the AR glasses, seamlessly integrating your digital world with the real one. But when you want a more traditional experience, just take off the glasses and use the AI Pin independently. It's like having the best of both worlds And let's talk about those AR glasses - with powerful built-in cameras for capturing memories and collaborating with the AI Pin for hand tracking, it's a game-changer. Plus, imagine a dimming feature right in the glasses for added convenience. This is not just the future of smartphones; it's a whole new era of tech that's both exciting and practical. I think this will make the AI pin a little bit more appealing .
Absolutely. Need a full review of the one plus watch
Awesome! The quality of your videos makes each upload a must watch!
The general design of the concept notebook reminds me a lot of the Dell Adamo from 2009.
The Motorola inverse screen bend is more fascinating to me not because of the screen, but it's more of the inside that is more interesting. It shows that they have really flexible motherboard and battery and no bound to rigid designs.
Great video as always. Also, I respect the full transparency of even the companies that provided food and drink during your travels and not just the ones you're financially involved with or provided funding. Tip of the hat. 🤠
01:18 That's Pam
Dang, I'm excited for HMD's plans. Now to see a proper reboot of the Moto Z!
Yes for the ONE PLUS WATCH 2 and pls try and review ar glasses too
we need that One Plus Watch review, a nice Collab with The Unlockr would be cool
Darn it. I wanted to go to a tech event like this, but my vacation to Spain isn't until the end of next month.
9:23 it's valid to notice that even high end devices like Michael Fisher's at this mentioned moment, when using the front facing camera for video, completely ignores the polarity of the referred camera, when it comes to audio. Inverting left and right, channel sounds.
The Motorola phone concept as a bracelet looks amazing when worn. I would totally wear a smart-bracelet over a smart-watch any day, and I say that as a GW6 user.

PLEASE do a review of the Oneplus Watch 2! I've been wanting to switch to Android from iOS but the one thing holding me back is the android watches. This new watch looks promising!
Need a dedicated video on OP watch 2 , waiting for your review since it's announcement!!
"Some deranged phone torturer" 🤣
10:22 - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Are you watching Zack? 😉 😎🇬🇧
Ok iv changed my mind on the ai pin. It’s too expensive but I would love a ruggedised version to take skateboarding/mountain biking. Similar to using a smart watch to do the same thing however the addition of the projector so I can watch videos/tutorial’s, and also so I have a camera I can use to quickly record myself and review how I’m doing.
Nice video as always. Maybe not as thorough as other years but still, always nice to see your perfectly edited and narrated actually HD videos 😊

Great video. Always fun to see what's coming, and what probably never will. Would like to see a full review of the One Plus Watch 2.
interesting to look at the future tech, even though i can't be sure it even comes to my country, let alone buying it
Yes Michael! Please do a review on the one plus watch 2!
...and never change, Mr. Mobile!
Gonna be honest, the bendy phone by Motorola is cool and all but the Rizr revival prototype from last year is more interesting to me.
If you plan to review the ai pin than you should definitely also review PhoneCam - a $70 body camera with AI - and compare it to the ai pin.
Hi Miriam! 🙂
Love to see a review on the OnePlus watch ! Great coverage on MWC btw, interesting stuff this year! Im actually pretty excited for HMD to get into the scene as a house brand. The modular concept is something I loved from my LG G5
I cannot wait to see the retrospectives on what a swindle the AI pin ended up being.
Yes, OP Watch 2 review, pls, Michael!
00:28 robot push up😂
Love your vids
4:24 stole the whole show with those glasses.
Please review the OnePlus Watch 2. Would love to see how the hybrid OS/chip design works in the real world
Tbh, the idea of having a wrist phone with fitness tracking sensors seems pretty cool. 🥺 Could have a sports mode or something where it switches to track vitals only when a someone's working out... Just slap your phone on your wrist and you don't need a smartwatch anymore! 😬
I absolutely would like to see a full review of the One Plus watch.

I just thought of a use for a transparent display it would be perfect for business to monitor employees atleast from a marketing perspective
would love your take on the oneplus watch 2...specifically, how does it stack up against the pixel watch 2
One device I'd be interested to see more about, as boring as it may look, is that Punkt phone we can briefly see at 9:15. Their previous minimalistic feature phones were intriguing. (Oh, and sorry for the lack of feedback as of late. I've been apartment hunting and I'm preparing for a move, and I'm pretty sure you know how tedious and painful a process this is…) Cheers! //Rick
These mwc episodes should be at least half an hour each!
Yes, please review the OnePlus Watch 2. My Fossil Gen5 is on its last legs.
Did you try tje nubia z50s pro or nubia z60 ultra?
Love the Winnebago man reference
I’ve reserved my clicks keyboard today. I can’t wait to purchase it as I’ve been looking for a product exactly like it since I purchased my iPhone eight months ago.
the best way to go FOR THE "MODS" according to me are the MAGNETIC POGO PINS WHICH COULD FAST CHARGE THE DEVICE OR GIVE FUNCTIONALITY LIKE IT WAS A PART OF THE PHONE
After buying the OnePlus open I'd love to see a review of the watch :)
Never change, Mr. Mobile!
While Samsung and Apple have constantly launched the same mobile with new internal for years, Motorola and Lenovo are like "What if". They have their own Multiverse of Madness which sometimes makes you question other brand's R&D and Innovation. Regardless, compared last couple of years, MWC'24 was actually fruitful with some new innovation, cheaper & modular concepts, and technology which might actually help in Future. Personally, I am excited for Humane AI Pin, it will completely change the market as we know.
Dedicated review for the watch please! 🙏

HMD's approach is reminiscent of the Handspring Springboard from the early 00s.

They need to think about the following idea: a smartphone in your pocket as a hub connected to the ring for health tracking and a Google Glass-like glasses to show you important info, plus Apple Vision Pro-like AR. That's all you need while on the go

@@pAirA_ I'm in the same boat. My Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle is overdue to be replaced. I did really enjoy that watch, but the battery life is down to 14 hours a day before a recharge is needed. I'm curious to see how OnePlus differentiates itself from Google and Samsung in regards to smart watches. I do like some of the Samsung watches, but I get the impression that you need to have Samsung phones to get the full effect.
Innovation in mobile devices never fails to disappoint

That AI pin reminds me of the Voeceras we used when I worked in a hospital… and that’s not a good thing. Maybe the projector will help define it
