The Mobile World Congress changes the entire complexion of Barcelona every year, although most natives of the Catalonian capital never get a look at what goes in inside the vast Fira Barcelona exposition halls. Here are a few glimpses into the booths that covered the show floor, where the promise of 5G technology (remember, this show used to be called “3GSM”) was the focus.

After discreetly keeping a low profile at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, Huawei hit Mobile World with a bang — and a foldable phone — drawing heavy traffic to its booth.

Huawei might be company non grata in the United States., but it's a crowd-pleaser, with its $2,600 Mate X foldable smartphone at the Mobile World Congress. Easily the hottest gadget on display at MWC, featuring a 6.6-inch foldout display and a thickness of only 11 mm, it drew mobs to the Huawei booth — although one skeptic, peering at the Mate X through bulletproof glass said, "Eet ees steel too theeck."

Second fiddle at the Huawei booth to the Mate X foldable phone was Huawaei's stylus-equipped MediaPad M5 Pro computer, with front and back cameras, quad stereo speakers, and a 10.8-inch 2K display.
