Dieter Bohn MWC 2019: the stories and devices to expect at the world’s biggest mobile show

Mobile World Congress kicks off in Barcelona this weekend, so be sure to stay tuned to The Verge for all the updates on the latest phone tech, from 5G smartphones to foldable screens. The focus isn't all on smartphones, though — Microsoft might be announcing its HoloLens successor at MWC, based on a cryptic teaser tweeted by its creator Alex Kipman. It's going to be a big weekend either way, since the Oscars are also airing this Sunday, so get your popcorn ready!
