The good news comes right on the eve of the opening of the doors: after years of contraction, the smartphone market in Europe has returned to climb. So here is that the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which begins tomorrow, will speak of a sector that led by artificial intelligence hopes to return to the pre -covid glories. The mission is difficult, however it is true that the news will not fail, with the Xiaomi 15 series and the Agent of Honor already presented yesterday in preview. According to Canalys, a company specialized on the subject, the shipments of smartphones on the continent grew by 5% in 2024, marking the first increase after four consecutive years of decrease. With Samsung leader of the continental market (46.4 million units sold) in front of Apple (34.9 million), Xiaomi (22.2 million). And with Motorola, fourth in front of Oppo, which records an impressive growth of 26%.
In short: a breath of optimism that pervades the MWC 2025, with 100 thousand visitors planned and over 1,200 interventions by world -renowned experts and innovators: above all Steve Wozniak, Apple co -founder, Ray Kurzweil, former Google engineer and well -known futurologist, and Jürgen Schmidhuber, considered one of the fathers of modern artificial intelligence. And the IA will dominate the field, because the novelties between the pavilions will also concern the domestic robots now enhanced by advanced algorithms and computers that start towards the road to quantum devices. In addition, sectors such as transport, communications but also the sporting one (IBM will show its collaboration with Seville for the search for new talents), have now been conquered by a technology increasingly present in our life.
It was said of Honor, for example, that with its Alpha Planet system it aims to integrate the various IA platforms to make the products think with a single brain (smart), while figures – an ex partner of Openai – will show its studies these days to equip human -capacity robots with multisensory capacity thanks to Helix, an advanced and low -cost software. Lenovo, on the other hand, focuses on Thinkbook Flip Ai, a notebook with keyboard and double screen that bends towards the outside, while Lime Ai arrives from Korea, or an evolved Mental Coach (and virtual) southern to be a stress manager. In short: there is no shortage of ideas, and some are very serious. If we think that the Tlooto platform, also called Academicgpt, will show how its million registered scientific researchers manage to access in real time to over 200 million academic studies, and this means an acceleration of medicine towards a future without some of the diseases that today seem incurable.
All that remains is to wait for the way. And even if these three days will not immediately change our life, thanks to artificial intelligence we should not wait much because the best of the world tech really arrives.
