MWC 2014, all the action in one episode!

The CES 2014 waves were just settling down when another storm of news and rumours hit by the invites sent out for the MWC 2014 in Barcelona. Analysts, rumour rounders and bloggers were hit with a large number of rumours and news that started floating around. But most of them were pretty interesting and made you look forward to MWC. There were news regarding many major players including Samsung, Sony, HTC and Nokia (Nokia has confirmed its press conference). Many of the devices mentioned below are the flagship devices of their respective manufacturers which only tells us that this upcomming episode will be action packed.

Samsung Galaxy S5

According to Eldar Murtazin (Russian tech news leaker) Samsung will reveal the Samsung Galaxy S5 on February 23rd which is one day before MWC kicks off. By performing such a stunt Samsung must be planning to steal the thunder from other other devices. But the rumours are highly doubtful as new surfaced news say that it maybe held in mid March.
The Galaxy S5 will rock the new and refreshed Samsung skin for Android, the new TouchWiz. In this case it is said to be shinning a 5.25in 2560x1440 display, powering an eight core exynos processor or the Snapdragon 805 in US models, maybe, all incorporated into a full metal body (who knows it may be textured as well).

Nokia

Nokia is said to be preparing many phones to be launched for their part of the show. First is the New flagship, Nokia Lumia 1820. If the rumours hold weight, it will rock the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with 3 gigs or RAM and a 32gb expandable memory. Its camera is said to be a game changer as well with its lytro-style focusing skills and a powerful xenon flash.
But its not all. There is a highly rumoured Nokia phone which is believed to be running ANDROID! (Yes Android). Its name was previously rumoured to be 'Normandy', but the new rumours suggest that it maybe called 'Nokia X'. Although it maybe a low-end device made to replace the Nokia Asha line of mobile devices, but it may also be an eye opener for Nokia, helping it realise the place it would be in if it supported android instead of windows phone. According to evleaks its rumoured to run a Qualcomm S4 chipset and Nokia altered version of Android, a 3mp rear facing camera and 4gb internal storage. Similar to the Lumia line-up, the Nokia X will be available in the same range of colours.
There could also be a phablet shinning alonside the Lumia 1820, the Lumia 1525 which offer similar specs but with a 6in screen, a 25 or 30mp camera with the most intriguing feature of all, some kind of solar charging element built into the display. 

LG G3

Lg maybe be planning to share the glory with the Samsungs's S5 by revealing its G3 handset, surprising everyone. Leacked specs according to Asia Economic state that the G3 will have a 5.5in display with an eye watering resolution of 2560x1440 QHD, that is 534 ppi similar to that of the S5 which goes well beyond the Retina Display stamp. It is said to be supporting Lg's own octa-core  Odin processor, which include four 2.2GHz Cortex A15 cores and another four 1.7GHz Cortex A7 cores. The chipset may also support 3 gigs or RAM at the very least. The camera it will hoister on its back may be a 16MP shooter with optical image stabilisation. It is also fully expected to record 4k display having Lg resolved its storage issues with G2.

What more?

With all these amazing devices being much awaited by masses there are still a few things one can desire for. Firstly i would love to see the prototype of Motorolla's Project Ara with its modular concept and game changing ideology. Also a word from Google on the availability of Google Glass would be nice to hear, given that much development has been done. 

What do you guys expect to see on MWC? Tell me in teh comment section below.
