There’s Hyundai’s in-car rollable display, and then the TECNO Phantom Ultimate, an interesting smartphone concept with an extendable screen. This is the first smartphone with a double-sided display, which means that it wraps horizontally around the back of the device to serve as a secondary screen.

You’ve seen TheSoloist, now check out the slightly unusual Nubia Music smartphone, which made its debut at Mobile World Congress this week. The first thing you’ll probably notice is its vinyl record player-inspired design on the back, where the giant speaker resides next to the rear dual AI cameras.
TECNO Pocket Go is touted as the industry’s first augmented reality gaming set, or more specifically, a device that combines AR glasses and an AR Windows handheld. It comes equipped with a 0.71-inch Micro-OLED screen that simulates the experience of viewing a 215-inch screen from 6-meters (19.7-feet) away.
OPPO Air Glass 3 takes the Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses concept to the next level. Featuring OPPO AndesGPT, an AI-powered assistant, that is provided by the Air Glass app on the smartphone.
There’s the Japan-exclusive ZTE Libero Flip, and then the Nubia Flip 5G, a budget-friendly foldable smartphone for the rest of the world. Featuring a 6.9″ foldable OLED (1,188 x 2790) screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a circular 1.43″ OLED (466 x 466) cover screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a 4,310mAh battery.
Priced at around $271 USD and set for release this October, the IP69-rated Energizer Hard Case P28K smartphone is one that can last up to 1-week of normal use (or over 3-months on standby) on a single charge, thanks to its massive 28,000mAh battery. There are some tradeoffs as in it being 27.8mm thick and weighing 570g.
Finally, the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy Ring has been officially unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2024. The company touts it as an all-new way to simplify everyday wellness by providing users with greater insights and more ways to understand themselves throughout the day.
