We’re at the end of this year’s Mobile World Congress event, which kicked off earlier this week in Barcelona. The long-running mobile trade show brought a plethora of phone launches, updated wearables, AI-enhanced gadgets and other new concepts and technology. MWC 2024 kicked off Feb. 26 and comes to a close today, Feb. 29, but the week has been packed with loads of exciting new tech.
Mobile World Congress is an event that gives the communications industry a chance to launch new phones and debut innovative tech, even if much of it may not hit the market for some time. We’ve gone through all the hottest devices to find which ones you can get your hands on right now and have gathered them below. All of the products here are available to preorder or purchase directly right now.
This AI wearable device from Humane pins onto your shirt and can answer questions, respond to voice commands and even projects onto your hand, turning your palm into a screen. The device starts at $699. And if you order by March 31, you’ll get a free three-month Humane subscription. A subscription typically costs $24 per month.

While it’s not available in the US, our UK readers can snag this cutting-edge phone. CNET’s Sareena Dayaram found Honor’s Magic 6 Pro to be “among the most compelling Android flagships available this year,” thanks to its eye-tracking tech, a silicon-carbon battery and AI. The phone is set to be available March 1 and cost £1,100 (about $1,395). But you may be able to snag some savings by ordering early.
