Every year, the biggest mobile tech companies come together to showcase their products at MWC Barcelona, and the 2026 event was as packed as any other MWC show that came before it – as this guide to the best gadgets will help you show.
The TechRadar team continues its efforts to navigate the event’s various meeting rooms and conference rooms, and these are the highlights of our second day in Spain. You can also check out our top picks for MWC gadgets from day one.
1. TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro
If you haven’t felt inspired by smartphone designs and innovations in recent years, take a look at the TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro: this handset uses TCL’s latest generation of e-paper color display, delivering a beautiful, glare-free viewing experience.
Comics are presented very well, but all sorts of apps and experiences shine on the TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro, and the display doesn’t feel slow at all. You can even use a stylus with the handset, and it’s also available at a competitive price.
2. Xiaomi Watch 5
The Apple Watch and Pixel Watch have some serious competition in the form of the Xiaomi Watch 5, which packs a lot of power into a rather sleek case and strap combination, topped by a 1.54-inch, 1,500 nits circular AMOLED display.
Now available globally, the Xiaomi Watch 5 made quite an impression on us when we checked it out at MWC because it runs Wear OS 6 rather than Xiaomi’s own HyperOS, meaning you have access to the Gemini smart AI on your wrist.
3. MemoMind One
We might have another contender for our best smart glasses list: the MemoMind One from XGIMI. There are built-in speakers here as well as dual-eye displays and, of course, a pinch of AI, making this a complete pair of smart specs.
The MemoMind One glasses also score very well in terms of customization options, with a variety of frame styles and temple designs to choose from – although we’re not sure how many. However, we are still awaiting details on pricing and availability.
4. Biwin CL100 Mini-SSD
The name pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this device: it’s an SSD made by Biwin, and it’s very small and thin. It actually only measures 15mm x 17mm x 1.4mm, so it’s not the size of a postage stamp, it’s smaller. We are talking about the size of the microSD card.
Despite these very compact dimensions, you don’t have to compromise too much when it comes to speed and capacity. You can buy this SSD with up to 2TB of onboard storage, and it also offers PCIe 3.0-like read and write speeds for fast data transfer.
5.Oukitel WP63
The Oukitel WP63 is no ordinary smartphone and is sure to appeal to those who want to break away from the standard formulas of Apple, Google and Samsung. It comes with a massive 20,000mAh battery to start with, which partly explains its bulky appearance.
You also get a built-in LED light to help you find your way in the dark, and even an electric igniter: how many phones do you know of that can start a fire? If you’re a serious camper or outdoor enthusiast, this might be a device worth checking out.
6. Huawei Watch GT Runner 2
Without making too much of a fuss, Huawei actually makes some pretty impressive smartwatches, and the Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 is the latest to catch our eye here at MWC. In fact, we’ve already had some hands-on time with the laptop.
It’s lightweight, capable, and reasonably priced – although you won’t be able to buy it directly in the US, of course, what with the Huawei ban and all. It scores excellently on waterproofing, has a 1.32-inch AMOLED display, and supports contactless payments.
7.6G
Don’t worry if you’re still struggling to get reliable 5G access in your part of the world, because 6G is on the way and it will deliver even new advancements in download and upload speeds, as well as network capacity.
Many mobile companies have been talking about 6G in Barcelona, including Ericsson and Intel: the tech giants say they will pool resources in a partnership that should enable next-generation connectivity sooner and with a higher level of reliability.
