The Mobile 2025 World Congress has brought the technology world to Barcelona’s busy streets to seek its latest, largest innovations. And we have seen a lot in our time here, from the strange concepts to the products you can actually buy. (Of course, we have also eaten our weight in Tapas and maybe have tried some local beers.)
As the show approaches, we wanted to give you a summary of the best products we saw. Although not all of them are things you can buy, they are all innovators in their own way, offering something that makes them stay away from the crowd – a design, an idea or even a price.
Then there are the main elections of the CNET from the World Congress of Mobile 2025.
Nothing phone 3a and 3a pro
Here is nothing phone 3a on the left and nothing 3A pro on right.
London -based technology company is nothing more known for its affordable Android phones on the back, and the new 3A and 3A Pro phone follow that format. Both models share most of their main specifications, including a good Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 processor, a 6.7 -inch vibrant screen and a 5,000 mAh battery.
And while both have 50 megapixel main cameras, 3A Pro has a more advanced automatic system and a periscope camera for better magnification shots. I tested it about Barcelona and got some very delightful images.

Bikely, the two phones are also affordable, with 3a ranging from $ 379, and 3A pro starting at $ 459. Not bad for phones that include Gemini’s Google tools he and offer six years of software and security support.

Samsung Galaxy A26, A36, A56 phones
Samsung Galaxy A26, A36 and A56.
We can’t talk about affordable phones without mentioning the new Galaxy A series of Samsung. The company removed the conclusions from the latest rank supplements, including $ 300 Galaxy A26, $ 400 A36 and $ 500 A56. (Why don’t there is an A46, I wonder.)
All three have the same 6.7 -inch screen and 5,000 MAH batteries, but spending more on one of the top level models will get you a more powerful processor, more RAM and a slightly more powerful camera configuration. Characteristics of the baked in a Samsung UI – as well as Google Gemini and Circle to search – are available in all three.
The concept of Xiaomi’s modular camera
The concept of the Xiaomi modular camera.
15 ultra of Xiaomi, with her wonderful rear cameras, may really be the best show phone, but it’s not so far from the 14 ultra last year, and I had my attention to something else from the company.
Its “modular optical system” as Xiaomi calls it, is essentially a camera lens and a large sensor attached to the phone, giving you a pro-quality image configuration that still uses your phone as the brain, to take advantage of immediate editing and social sharing. It’s not different with Sony’s QX10 from 2013, which was controversial before her time, but I liked it a lot as an idea.

Sadly, Xiaomi lenses are being very much shown as a concept. I really hope it makes it in terms of store shelves. As a professional photographer, I really like the idea of having something that allows me to get higher quality images than my phone, without most of keeping a full -sized camera and lens configuration.
HMD phone Fusion X1 for teens
HMD Fusion X1 is a stone in step between a offline childhood and an adult online.
Although we normally talk about which intelligent phones have the highest power or the best camera or longer battery life, HMD’s X1 fusion serves a very different purpose than most phones. It is aimed at new adolescents and allows parents to limit access – or screen time – from their phone, to help their children develop a healthier relationship with technology and social media.
“While most phones with parental controls or rely on an application that can be deleted or overlooked, Fusion X1 combines controls based on apps deeply in its Android OS version.” Katie Collins of Cnet explains in her hands with the device. “This creates a closed closed space, where children can still have limited access to Snapchat, WhatsApp and Tik- If their parents agree.”
HMD Fusion X1 will be available in May for £ 229 (about $ 290 converted).

Folding projector of Aurzen Zip
Projector Aurzen Zip.
Projectors tend to be large items that you will usually mount on your ceiling and leave in place. Zip Aurzen is another beast completely. Using a folding mechanism that makes it look a bit like a Samsung Galaxy Z Rolling 6, Zip can stay on a surface and design your films up to 80 inches in size, and then fold down to something small to fit into the pocket.
It works on Apple Airplay, allowing you to broadcast Netflix videos from your iPhone, although an HDMI adapter will also be available if you want to insert on your laptop to transmit other contents. Its battery provides up to 1.5 hours of use, so watching Dune 2 will ask you to insert it, but it contains quick charging to restore the liquid quickly.
Although its 720 pixel resolution will not suit cinephiles, its small size makes it great to get ’round to your friend’s place for a movie night, travel, or simply using in a challenged apartment in space.
After its successful kickstarter start, Zip will go on overall sale later this month, starting at $ 300.

Tecno thin spark
The thin tecno spark is thinner than a pencil. It felt super light in my hand.
Although rumors suggest that the Galaxy S25 Samsung’s tearful Edge can be just less than 6 millimeters thick, the exquisite concept of the tecno spark takes it further. At only 5.75 mm, it aims to be the thinnest phone in the world, and personally really looks almost surprisingly weak.
Often, few phones compromise battery life simply because there is less room to fit all those cells. But somehow tecno has managed to squeeze 5,200 mAh into a battery, along with the main 50-megapixel cameras and ultrawide.
There is still much a concept, so some of these specifications have to deal with a pinch of salt. However, I would like to see a phone like the one focusing on being easier to hold and slip into the pocket of a pair of weak jeans. The company says the device would have been made of bold materials, but I’m worried how easily it can bend, especially if I sit with it in the back pocket. That would be a bad way to go every phone.
Dear Messenger: Lenovo Solar Laptop
It is a laptop with solar cells built on its lid.
Lenovo has a host of concept equipment on the show this year, including some skilled views you can attach to the main laptop to extend your workspace. But our favorite is solar -power laptop, which contains a group of solar cells on its lid.
Lenovo says these cells are particularly effective and that after only 20 minutes direct sunlight they can provide enough juice for one hour of video reproduction. Still, as Cnet’s Josh Goldman points out, it is less about empowering the laptop completely more solar, and more about the prolongation of battery life when you can.

Certainly, of course, a neat idea, though I can’t imagine it is especially practical for everyday use. For one, who wants to work on their laptop in bright sunlight? And fundamentally, when you are working on your laptop, the back of the screen is likely to be nice, away from sunlight, so you can only replenish when it is closed and not in use. However, we are always very inclined to hear about the ways technology firms are using renewable energy, even if this is climbing solar panels in a poncho.
