Global tech brands gathered in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 (February 26-29). Exhibitors suggested solutions to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily routines, aiming for convenience and speed. Some presented solutions for connecting remote areas (benefitting digital nomads and citizens alike). Meanwhile, aesthetics featured as an important aspect of tech’s appeal.

AI Phones and Computers Aim for Convenience

Fun, Tactile & Appealing Devices

Rather than just releasing generative AI apps, companies showcased an array of products that incorporate generative AI into the core of their functionality. So-called “AI phones” home in on convenience, using generative algorithms to automate text messaging or calendar management. Meanwhile, laptops and tablets are optimising processes for fast and seamless remote work.

Many exhibitors presented devices to aid next-gen work, education and leisure routines. Aiming to connect citizens and leisure seekers in areas with limited cellular and internet coverage, some boasted about their phones’ satellite connections. Others introduced tools to improve professional long-distance communication – a theme described in 10 Tech Trends 24/25 to Watch.

Fun, Tactile & Appealing Devices

Rather than being loyal to a specific brand, consumers are increasingly choosing their tech based on its physical features. Brands at MWC launched products catering for various style subcultures. Some have designed products specifically for Gen Zers, while others entice physicality-seeking users via external buttons and tactile interfaces.
