Mobile World Congress roundup: LG G6, Nokia and Blackberry make strong return

The tech industry has descended upon Barcelona for the 2017 edition of the Mobile World Congress (MWC). While most of the giants of the smartphone industry are present, the most notable of absentees is Apple, but then again, they never come to MWC, preferring instead, to have their own event.

The show opened to the public on 27 February, while a number of announcements happened on press day which was on 26 February.

Here's a roundup of all the latest news from MWC:

Then there was the Nokia 6, which was already launched in China a couple of months back. Nokia 6 is the flagship phone from Nokia featuring a 5.5-inch screen with 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution and Gorilla Glass, along with a 16MP rear camera and a Snapdragon 430 processor.

The Nokia 3 and Nokia 5, however, are newly unveiled. They both run stock Android and have mid-range specs. The Nokia 5 has a 5.2-inch screen while the Nokia 3 comes with a 5-inch screen. Both phones come in four colours - black, silver, copper and white. The phones should be available in Q2 of 2017 in Europe first, and then the rest of the world.
