The Most Exciting Tech From Mobile World Congress 2022

Mobile World Congress stands out as one of the world's premier events for mobile technology. The event took place in Spain, and most surprisingly, the most prominent buzzwords at Mobile World Congress 2022 didn't involve 5G, AI, or even smartphones. Find out what the speakers, demonstrators, and attendees learned at this big mobile tech trade show.

According to CNBC, references to metaverse made their way into most speeches and displays. Metaverse refers to virtual worlds that people can visit to play games, socialize, learn, and conduct business. Nobody can say precisely what the metaverse will look like in a few years. But it's a topic of interest to many tech companies.

As for hardware to power the metaverse, many industry leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, said that they needed better processors to enable the VR-based future they envision. Chip manufacturers have made enormous strides in the last few years. But they still need faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient processors to power virtual reality.

Attendees from Engadget didn't necessarily express surprise about metaverse chatter specifically. Still, the reporters did mention the scarcity of mobile phone releases at an event usually geared towards smartphones. Instead, Engadget reported on more announcements of new e-readers, tablets, and even a few laptops.

Engadget did mention a couple of highlights:

In addition, Samsung previously announced new smartphones and tablets, so they also showed off their latest laptops, the Galaxy Book2 Series.

While one would expect to see smartphones, tablets, and e-readers at a conference that focuses on mobile technology, attendees may have felt surprised to see so much of a focus on laptops, workstations, and the metaverse. Still, many of these new devices blur the lines between smartphones, tablets, and computers with their larger or more flexible displays and other features.

Perhaps, along with discussing what the metaverse means, people will also need to reimagine what mobile means.
