This year, artificial intelligence (AI) and advancements in camera technology were major themes, with companies like Huawei, Intel, and Samsung unveiling their latest innovations.
Huawei Dominates with Awards
Huawei emerged as a major winner at MWC 2025, taking home an impressive 33 international media awards. This recognition underscores Huawei's commitment to innovation and its growing influence in the global telecommunications industry.

The event in Barcelona provided a platform for industry leaders to discuss emerging trends and celebrate technological breakthroughs.
Intel Unveils New Core Ultra Processors
Intel also made a splash at MWC 2025 with the launch of its Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors featuring vPro technology. These new chips are designed to power commercial PCs, including laptops, desktops, and workstations. Intel claims the Core Ultra 200V series offers up to 20 hours of battery life and supports Microsoft's AI features on Windows 11, with a Copilot+ certification. This focus on power efficiency and AI integration demonstrates Intel's commitment to the future of business computing.
Samsung Doubles Down on Galaxy AI
Samsung reaffirmed its commitment to artificial intelligence at MWC 2025. Executive Annika Bizon stated that millions of users are regularly using Galaxy AI, despite some surprising survey results. This suggests that Samsung is confident in the adoption and potential of its AI-powered features. While the specific survey results weren't disclosed, the company's continued investment in AI indicates a belief in its long-term value for users.
"We are seeing incredible adoption of Galaxy AI, and we are committed to further developing these technologies," said Bizon during a keynote address.
Xiaomi's Camera-Focused Smartphone
Beyond AI, camera technology also took center stage. One notable device that blurred the lines between smartphone and digital camera was a new offering from Xiaomi. The device features a design so focused on camera capabilities that it almost resembles a dedicated camera rather than a typical mobile phone. This highlights the ongoing trend of smartphone manufacturers pushing the limits of mobile photography.
MWC 2025 showcased a clear direction for the future of mobile technology, with AI and camera innovations leading the charge. As these technologies continue to evolve, we can expect even more groundbreaking advancements in the years to come.
