One of the industry’s biggest events is less than a week away. Mobile World Congress 2014 kicks off on February 24th in Barcelona, and already there are a lot of rumors about the tech expected to be announced there. We’re likely to see a lot of Android devices, and perhaps even Firefox OS phones, but there hasn’t been a lot of speculation about new Windows Phone devices. Sources tell re/code that while dozens of new Android phones will debut at MWC 2014, it is highly unlikely that any new Windows Phone models will be launched as well.

The Intel MWC 2014 announcement is expected to bring new chips, two to be precise, and they are said to be based on its Silvermont architecture. These new chips will be geared towards mobile devices, eventually making their way into Android and Windows tablets later this year.

Despite the fact that there have been countless rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S5, there hasn’t been much talk about its price. That’s because pricing happens to be more fluid than actual specifications, it varies a lot by carrier, country, retailer and distributor, so its not exactly easy to put a firm dollar figure on something that still hasn’t been announced. That said, a source has revealed to Bloomberg that following “encouragement” by one wireless carrier, the Galaxy S5 price might be lower than its predecessor.

The folks over at LG Electronics have just introduced the spanking new LG G Pro 2, which will be sequel to the LG G Pro. In fact, the LG G Pro happened to pick up the gong of being the Best Smartphone of MWC 2013. We do wonder whether the LG G Pro 2 will win any awards at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, later this month. Just what will the LG G Pro 2 be able to deliver? Let us find out right after the jump.
For starters, the LG G Pro 2 will arrive with a stunning 5.9” Full HD IPS display alongside an extremely slim bezel of 3.3mm, delivering an industry-leading screen-to-frame ratio of 77.2%. Not only that, it will also feature a thicker, high-power 1W Hi-Fi sound that is touted to be 30% louder compared to its predecessor, offering clearer sound with more powerful bass. What makes the LG G Pro 2 most interesting is the manner in which the powering on and unlocking process works.
Basically, LG engineers have come up with this feature known as Knock Code that would make the unlocking process easier and a whole lot more convenient than ever before. Knock Code would enable owners to power on and unlock their G Pro 2 smartphones in a single and easy step, through the tapping of one’s screens using one of 86,367 “knock” combinations. The intelligent algorithm and advanced hardware combination is a potent one, where you can input the knock pattern on any area of the screen, even when the display is turned off, with anywhere from two to eight taps to choose from.
Other hardware specifications include a quad-core 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, the Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB RAM, a choice of 16GB or 32GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, and Android 4.4 KitKat right out of the box.

ZTE, the China-based device manufacturer that has had its fair share of device releases in the past (not to mention at the recently concluded CES 2014), does seem to be pretty excited about the upcoming Mobile World Congress that is happening in Barcelona, Spain, later this month. It seems that ZTE is working on a new Android-powered device that has a 6” display which will be known as the ZTE Grand Memo II LTE. Apart from that, we will also see more of an updated version to the ZTE Open (which incidentally was announced at last year’s edition of MWC).

Nokia’s preferred colors for its branding have almost always been blue and white, though recently when it went green, speculation fired about once again about its much rumored Nokia X smartphone. Since last year it has been rumored consistently that Nokia is working on an Android powered smartphone, even though for the last couple of years it has only exclusively made Windows Phone smartphones. The device is reportedly called Nokia X, and the Nokia MWC 2014 webcast teaser certainly seems to hint at that, with four arrows converging to form an X above a green background.
