What Is MWC 2021 and How Long Does It Last?
MWC (Mobile World Congress) is an annual tech trade show for mobile technology, and one of the biggest of its kind. Every year, some of the biggest companies announce many of the new smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
MWC 2021 is no different, and it's running from June 28 to July 1, 2021. Thankfully, MWC 2021 has been able to take place live–one of the first events to do so since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Even though MWC is a little smaller than usual, there's still plenty to get excited about.

Lenovo Announces the Smart Clock 2
Lenovo has revealed its new Smart Clock 2, which comes as a refresh to the original Smart Clock launched back in 2019. The new device looks more-or-less identical to the first iteration, and has many of the same features as well.
Lenovo's second Smart Clock comes with the same 4-inch touchscreen display and buttons as the first device, but offers a new wireless charging dock and update auto-brightness settings.
Qualcomm Announces the Snapdragon 888+
Qualcomm has revealed its Snapdragon 888+ mobile processor, the successor to the already powerful Snapdragon 888.
The new chip looks set to take mobile processing to a whole new level, with advanced computational prowess. Qualcomm's 888+ scores a speed boost of up to 3.0 GHz courtesy of the Kryo 680, and is capable of running through 32 TOPS (trillion operations per second).
Tech Companies Turn Out for MWC 2021
As usual, MWC has been packed full of announcements. We've seen new products from some of the biggest names, small start-ups showcasing their new tech, and some much anticipated software announcements.
With IFA 2021 cancelled, MWC is the last major tech trade show for the year, with nothing then until CES kicks off 2022 in January.
Don't let this dishearten you though, 2021 will still have many more events, such as Apple's iPhone launch, Google's annual Pixel launch, and EA Live, to name just a few.
