The odd and wacky gadget we saw on MWC 2025


Infinix said the case stored up to 2 watts of this energy and moves it to the phone as needed. The company also claims that the case is using “sunflower” wireless charging technology, inspired by plants focusing on their own towards light. This allows the system in case “dynamic adjust the transmission path” to ensure it gets the most light possible within a 3-meter (almost 10-foot) range. None of these are designed to keep your phone charge as you use it, but Infinix thinks it will help increase standby time when you do nothing else. –Julian Chokkattu

The Best folding phones It's all about giving you more screen real estate, but can you have so much a good thing? Huawei Xt's wife is like the Honor Magic V3 (8/10, Wired recommended) But with an extra screen and fold. In fact, the tri-fold is a delusion because there are only two folds, but the three screens form a smart design that does not change to a full 10.2 inches. It can also be used as a double screen at 7.9 inches, or a single screen on a traditional candy phone shape at 6.4 inches.

Fully opened, Mate XT is only 3.6 mm thick, but you have two creases to fight. Fold it thoroughly, and it is 12.8 mm thick, and also heavy. The hinges are smooth, and feel surprisingly durable, with a pleasant folding action. It has an IPX8 rating for dust resistance.

Huawei mate XT Ultimate depends on its own Kirin chipset and harmony OS. The rest of the specs are solid and near the flagship, with a triple lens camera (50-megapixel main, 12-megapixel ultrawide, and 12-megapixel Periskopa Telephoto), relatively 5,600 mAh batteries, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. But then you expect them to consider 3,500 euro price tags. If the folds are twice as double the screen size, it is more tempting, but it does not feel far from a stylish book stylish and you are paying a premium for freshness today. It is only available in specific markets, such as the Middle East, so far, but it should land in Europe soon. –Simon Hill

When cycling glasses meet camera action

The cameras on our faces seemed to be an inevitable future. So why wear an action camera on your body if you can cooked it with your glass of cycling? That's the pitch of BleeQup Ranger. Right in the middle of glasses-UV400 and IP54 rated, by the way-is a camera that can record up to an hour of 1080p video. There is a small battery accessory that clipped behind a helmet, doubling as a tail light, and it enhances the video recording time for five hours in total. The arms of the glasses have speakers so you can play music, and they sound good to my short demo in a very strong space. Naturally, there is AI in playing here but not the glasses themselves. The algorithms check the footage and suggest the most friendly -kind clips, combining them into a highlight reel with little effort on your part. The glasses are launched Kickstarter later this month for $ 499. –Julian Chokkattu

NTT DOCOMO'S MIRZA AR GLASSES

I cooperate with some Japanese Caligraphy guide with the help of NTT Docomo's AR glasses at the MWC. They are large and chunky, but these glasses do not need to be plugged in directly to anything, and you can adjust your content to space so that it does not move to your head. It's pretty easy for me to reproduce the symbol in front of me, despite my lack of artistic talent, and they can be used in the workplace to roam the engine parts or device repair. While these glasses cost $ 1,500 and aimed at mainly in businesses, the NTT also showed me a new, lighter pair that it had in the works, with a simplified display for navigation and notifications from a phone connected to Bluetooth. The next Gen Mirza AR glasses are aimed at Joe Public and is closer to $ 500, but may require an AI subscription. –Simon Hill

XPANCEO displays more Contact Lens prototyps

I wrote about Xpanceo at Mobile World Congress last yearAnd the company returns with smarter contact lens prototyps. One of these is a contact lens that can be recharged by a contact lens case, and another has biosensors who can study some parameters in tears fluid to monitor glucose, cortisol, and more. Another prototype has a pattern in the lens that changes in response to intraocular pressure, which will help to detect glaucoma in advance, and there is also a smart contact lens for AR vision, which has a combined microdisplay to display images. I was able to look at this one and read some text! The final goal is to cook all of these prototypes in a product-the objects of sci-fi-fan dreams-but this type of miniature technology is incredibly difficult to engineer. It was a long time before a smart contact lens came to the market. –Julian Chokkattu

Closing 30,000 steps for the day, my burning tootsies can have something related to Solecooler that gets my eye in the middle of a sea of ​​strange inventions and startups. The kindly inventor, Bruno Aubert (a thermodynamics engineer) explained that these wise insoles heat your feet up to 4 degrees Celsius, or, if you flip them, cool by 3.5 degrees. The beauty is that you will charge them, even if they take a few minutes to get going (similar to air conditioning). They cost 50 euros and come to a size, which you should cut off if you are below 14.
