Reviewed MWC 2026 Awards: Phones, wearables, and laptops

MWC 2026 has arrived in Barcelona, and it’s no surprise that there are tons of new and interesting devices to check out this year. Our team has seen some of the best foldable phones to date, AI-powered smart glasses, and even new robot lawn mowers.

Curious about the best products at MWC? These are the 15 products that earned a Reviewed MWC 2026 Award.

Accessories

Eufy C15

We're used to seeing home robots at other tradeshows like CES, but we weren't anticipating seeing one at MWC. But Anker's sister brand, Eufy, showed off its Eufy C15 robot lawn mower, the perfect gadget for those who don't want to spend time and energy putting perimeter wires in their yard. The C15 eliminates that step with AI-driven Vision FSD technology, using onboard cameras and neural processing to autonomously map the yard, identify grass edges, and dodge obstacles in real time. It's best for smaller to medium lawns up to about 0.2 acres (800 square meters), which covers the majority of suburban properties. The price of the C15 is solid, too, especially given that some robotic lawn mowers can run into the thousands of dollars.

Available spring 2026 for €899 ($1,045.36) or €999 with garage ($1,161.64)

Laptops

Lenovo Yoga 9i Aura Edition

Lenovo's Yoga 9i Aura Edition (Gen 11) is the company's consumer flagship 2-in-1, now running Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processors. The laptop has a 14-inch display with a 2.8K resolution and up to 1,100 nits of brightness. It also has a new Canvas Mode that lets the included Yoga Pen Gen 2's case kind of prop the screen up at an angle for drawing or note-taking. Also worth noting is that Lenovo brought back the 3.5mm headphone jack on this device.

Available in May 2026 for $1,949

Honor MagicBook Pro 14

Honor's MagicBook Pro 14 is going directly for the MacBook Air and Dell XPS 14, packing a 14.6-inch 3.1K OLED touch display into a 1.37 kg chassis with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors up to the Ultra X9 388H. The specs are solid across the board, but the feature that stands out is the 92Wh battery's 80W reverse charging capability, meaning this laptop can fast-charge your phone or tablet at speeds most dedicated chargers can't match. It essentially turns your laptop into a power hub for everything else you're carrying.

Honor Share also enables cross-OS file sharing with iOS devices, so if you have an iPhone, you can easily share data with it. That's pretty handy for those who don't want to be tied to one ecosystem.

Availability and pricing coming soon

Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Detachable

The ThinkPad X13 Detachable (Gen 3) is Lenovo's enterprise-grade answer to the Surface Pro, featuring an Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor with up to 64GB of RAM in a detachable 13-inch tablet form factor. The key differentiator is the detachable ThinkPad-style keyboard with 1.5mm key travel, designed to deliver a typing experience typically reserved for built-in keyboards.

More importantly for IT departments, Lenovo designed the X13 with field-replaceable batteries and Thunderbolt 4 ports, so the components most likely to wear out the quickest can be swapped out without sending the entire unit in for repair.

Phones

Honor Magic V6

This might be the most impressive foldable phone so far, at least in terms of its build and hardware. It measures just 8.75mm folded and an almost absurd 4mm unfolded, which essentially means it's the same thickness as a normal phone when folded up, a point that's been the main argument against book-style foldables for years. Honor was able to do this in part thanks to its super-slim fifth-generation silicon-carbon battery tech. Apart from the dimensions, the phone offers a 7.95-inch LTPO inner display and a 6.52-inch outer display. There's a 64MP periscope telephoto, IP68/IP69 ratings, and a hinge that's rated for 500,000 folds. It's launching in China soon, but a global release isn't expected until later this year.

Availability globally late 2026, pricing coming soon

Xiaomi 17 Ultra

While the Honor Magic V6 is all about being thin, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra aims to deliver the best camera on a phone. The Xiaomi camera was co-engineered with photography giant Leica, offering a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto with a 75-100mm-equivalent mechanical zoom. Yes, this means actual moving lens elements inside a smartphone. On top of that, you get a 1-inch 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP ultrawide.

Under the hood, it's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and has a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. All that camera hardware does make for a thick phone, and the price means you'd better actually care about photography to justify the spend. But if you do care, this phone is hard to beat.

Available now for €1,499 ($1,743.04)

Vivo X300 Ultra

Vivo's going after mobile photography dominance from a completely different angle: modularity. The X300 Ultra's built-in camera array is already solid, with a 200MP Sony LYT-901 main sensor, a 200MP Samsung HPB periscope, and a 50MP ultrawide. But on top of that, the phone supports a 400mm-equivalent Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra. It's an external lens attachment that snaps onto a dedicated Camera Cage accessory, which comes with physical shutter controls, dual hand grips, cold shoe mounts for microphones, and an integrated cooling fan for sustained 4K recording.

With the extender on, you'll get 17x optical zoom and up to 1600mm digital crop. The phone rounds things out with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.82-inch 2K OLED, and a massive 7,000mAh battery. Vivo's Ultra models have typically stayed in China, but the X300 Ultra is going global between April and May 2026. Pricing isn't confirmed yet.

Available globally by April or May 2026 with pricing to come

Motorola Razr Fold

After a few years of flip-style phones, Motorola is finally building its first book-style foldable phone. The Razr Fold features an 8.1-inch inner display at 120Hz alongside a 6.6-inch outer display running at a snappy 165Hz, and both screens support stylus input through the bundled Motorola Pen Ultra. Battery life looks solid with a 6,000mAh cell and 80W wired charging, and the triple 50MP camera setup (primary, ultrawide, 3x telephoto) is respectable.

It runs the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 rather than the Elite variant, which feels like a minor concession at this price. But Motorola clearly isn't trying to undercut anyone. With this price tag, Pen Ultra included, they’re signaling a premium-or-bust approach. The real test is whether Motorola's brand carries enough weight to justify that kind of spend against the established foldable players.

Available April 2026 for €1,999 ($2,324.44)

Screens

Huawei MatePad Mini

Apple's iPad Mini has been a fan favorite for years, but Huawei is bringing a similar alternative to the Android world with this device. The Huawei MatePad Mini measures 8.8 inches, weighs 255 grams, and is just 5.1mm thick, making it quite portable. The 2.5K Flexible OLED PaperMatte display is the headline feature—it diffuses glare and provides a paper-like friction surface for M-Pencil Pro use, making it better for reading and note-taking. SIM card support and Beidou satellite connectivity mean it can work as a standalone communication device independent of cellular networks, which is niche but genuinely useful if you're a traveler or spend a lot of time outdoors.

Available now for $584 (China pricing), global pricing to be determined

Honor MagicPad 4

Thinner tablets have been gaining popularity, but the Honor MagicPad 4 takes things to the next level. At only 4.8mm thick and 450 grams, it holds the record for the thinnest tablet, which Honor achieved through what it calls a "Crescent Structure" design using aerospace-grade special fiber. Despite that extreme thinness, it somehow fits a 10,100mAh battery, a 12.3-inch 3K OLED display running at 165Hz, eight speakers with spatial audio, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor. MagicOS 10's PC Mode provides a desktop-style interface with full support for mouse and keyboard shortcuts. The thinness is impressive, though it does raise fair questions about long-term durability—4.8mm doesn't leave much structural margin if you sit on it or toss it in a bag without a case.

Available now for €599 ($696.52)

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro

Xiaomi's Pad 8 Pro attempts to offer a high-spec tablet at a great price, and it mostly pulls it off. The tablet has an 11.2-inch 3.2K display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which you'd normally only find in premium phones. It also has a 9,200mAh battery with 67W fast charging, which is pretty solid, plus it's only 5.75mm thin. Also available is the Magic Keyboard Pro Focus accessory, which, yes, looks a lot like Apple's Magic Keyboard in both design and function, but as a huge fan of the Magic Keyboard, we don't mind that.

Available now for €649.99 ($755.81) for 8GB/256GB, to €769.99 ($895.34) for 12GB/512GB Matte Glass

Wearables

XGIMI MemoMind One

XGIMI has made its name with projectors, so the MemoMind One smart glasses we experienced at MWC represent a pretty significant pivot. These are designed to be AI-first glasses with a dual-eye (binocular) heads-up display, built into customizable frames.

What sets these AI glasses apart is the software: The MemoMind One runs a multi-LLM hybrid OS that dynamically routes your queries to whichever language model—OpenAI, Qwen, Azure—it thinks is best suited to what you're actually asking. Real-time translation, continuous transcription, and hands-free navigation all run in the background, only surfacing information on the display when it's contextually relevant.

Available for pre-order in April 2026 for $599

RayNeo Air 4 Pro

The RayNeo Air 4 Pro glasses take a slightly different approach. Instead of AI intelligence, these glasses are designed around strapping a virtual cinema to your face. Weighing just 76 grams, these AR glasses project a 201-inch immersive display, with audio co-engineered by Bang & Olufsen, using custom sound tubes designed to minimize leakage.

According to RayNeo, these are the world's first HDR10-enabled AR glasses, hitting 1,200 nits of peak brightness at 120Hz. A custom Vision 4000 chip handles real-time upscaling to HDR and can convert 2D content into 3D on the fly. At a $299 base price (with early promos bringing it down to $249), RayNeo is offering an HDR spatial display for less than most people spend on a mid-range TV.

Available now for $299

Huawei Watch GT Runner 2

The Huawei Watch GT Runner 2 is built specifically for endurance athletes and marathon runners, and that's reflected in its design. The 34.5-gram aerospace-grade titanium housing is 10% lighter than the previous model, and the 1.32-inch AMOLED display pushes 3,000 nits, bright enough to read mid-run in direct sunlight without squinting. The big upgrade is a dual-band L1+L5 GPS with a 3D floating antenna architecture, specifically engineered to address GPS signal degradation in urban canyons and dense forests, a persistent pain point for serious runners. Software-wise, there's an Intelligent Marathon Mode with dynamic pacing, pre-race training guidance, and post-race physiological analysis, all backed by a 14-day battery.

Available April 2026 for £349.99 ($467.87)

Headphones

Anker Soundcore Space 2

Anker's Soundcore brand has long offered great headphones at a reasonable price, and the Anker Soundcore Space 2 are no exception. For $129.99, you get 40mm dual-silk diaphragm drivers, Sony's LDAC codec for high-res audio streaming (96 kHz / 990 kbps), and a four-stage adaptive ANC system that uses atmospheric pressure sensors and environmental detection to adjust noise cancellation in real time automatically. Battery life is good too, at 50 hours with ANC on, or 70 hours with it off. The build quality and tuning may not quite match Sony or Bose at their best, which is reasonable given the price. But for most listeners trying to save money, these headphones could easily be the way to go.

Available April 21, 2026, for $129.99
