Every phone from MWC 2016

MWC 2016 is here and we're on the ground in force, ready to bring you news and hands-on reviews of all the delicious new smartphones from the show.

From big hitters like the stylish Samsung Galaxy S7 and stunning Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, to the innovative LG G5, to the underdogs, the phablets and the what-were-they-thinkings, we're covering it all. It's going to be a long week and we're already seeing phones in our sleep but we won't be finished until every new handset (almost every one..) has had its time to shine.

We'll be linking you from here to all of our hands on articles throughout the week, so keep your eyes glued to this page for regular updates on everything new as it happens. Just be careful, or you too could end up dreaming of smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S7

This is the big one, the phone we'd wager almost everyone was waiting to see. The Samsung Galaxy S7 takes everything great about the Galaxy S6, like its metal and glass design and impressive screen, fixes disappointments like the lack of a microSD card slot or waterproofing and adds a hefty helping of extra power.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

The Galaxy S7 isn't the only phone Samsung's rolled out. It's also announced the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. WIth a bigger 5.5-inch curved screen, a larger 3600mAh battery and otherwise the same specs and features as the standard Galaxy S7 it looks like a phone to be reckoned with.

LG G5

The LG G5 has kicked MWC off with a bang. With an all-new metal design, an always-on screen, an accessory port and a dual camera it's clear that LG is being as innovative as ever, while pulling out all the stops for flagship performance.

HP Elite X3

The HP Elite X3 is a mammoth phone in every sense of the word. Mammoth 5.96-inch screen, mammoth specs, mammoth potential. With a Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM, plus the ability to hook it up to a monitor or power a laptop it's a seriously versatile device and while it might not kickstart the Windows 10 revolution it's sure to find an audience.

Sony Xperia X and Sony Xperia XA

Sony didn't bring the Xperia Z6 to MWC, but it has unleashed two new mid-rangers in the form of the Sony Xperia X and the Sony Xperia XA. The Xperia X impresses with a 5-inch 1080p screen, a rounded design, a fingerprint scanner and a 23MP camera, while the Xperia XA slots in below it with a stylish edge-to-edge display.
