A summary of the 3 halls of MWC Barcelona where smartphone makers gather

　The world's largest mobile festival "MWC Barcelona" was canceled in 2020 just before the event due to the corona crisis. Although the 2021 event has been postponed to June, it will be the first MWC Barcelona in about three years (although I have been there in 2020) as it is difficult to travel from Japan.

MWC Barcelona 2022 will be my first visit in three years, including cancellations.

　In the fast-moving IT and mobile industry, the period of three years has been a long time, and the industry has changed dramatically. In particular, a game change occurred in the three halls where many smartphone makers had exhibited booths.

Looking at the venue map, the lineup of exhibiting manufacturers has changed dramatically in the last three years.

　Therefore, in this article, we will summarize what smartphone manufacturers exhibited in the three halls of MWC Barcelona in 2022. By the way, manufacturers that exhibited three years ago but were not present in Hall 3 this time are Sony, LG Electronics, and Lenovo. Huawei, which exhibited smartphones and other consumer devices in Hall 3, moved to the same booth as the Network Division in Hall 1.

　In previous years, OPPO was exhibiting in the area where Sony has a booth. Three years ago, although related events were held outside the venue, it did not have a large-scale exhibition in the three halls, so it can be said that it is one of the manufacturers that has changed significantly in the past three years.

OPPO also advances to 3 holes

　The main exhibit is the recently announced "OPPO Find X5 Pro". The OPPO Find X5 Pro is a new model announced on February 24, jointly developed with Hasselblad, a long-established camera manufacturer. In addition, OPPO's original NPU "MariSilicon X" is installed, and camera processing is further improved with AI.
