The Gearburn Podcast #8: who stood out at MWC 2017?

MWC 2017, the biggest smartphone exhibition of the year, has come and gone. But the real question is who emerged as the big winners this time out?

Huawei, LG and HMD/Nokia held their conferences on Sunday, with the P10, LG G6 and Nokia 3310 all making a splash. Meanwhile, Sony, holding its event on Monday, actually won an award thanks to the cutting-edge specs of its Xperia XZ Premium handset.

Between a 4K HDR screen, powerful chipset, water-resistant design and super slow-motion camera setup, there’s a lot to like about the new smartphone. But with an unspecified release date, rival phones are definitely poised to spoil the party.

Andy Walker and Hadlee Simons chat about these manufacturers and more in the latest Gearburn podcast.
