MWC 2026 is almost here, and you know what that means. Barcelona is about to be flooded with new smartphones, accessories, wearables, projectors, and other AI gadgets as brands prepare to showcase their biggest innovations on the show floor.

The Android Central team will be on the ground in Barcelona to bring you the latest coverage straight from the show floor. We'll be going hands-on with as much tech as possible and spotlight the products that truly deserve your attention.

This time, though, we're slightly spicing up how we recognize the best of the best.

For MWC 2026, we're teaming up with our sister publications, including Tom's Guide, TechRadar, and T3, to deliver the Best in Show awards. This means that not only the Android Central team, but editors and judges across all participating brands will evaluate the most exciting and innovative products at the event.

If you're a brand planning to showcase something at MWC and think it deserves recognition, submissions are now open. The entry fee is $250 per product, per publication, and all entries will be reviewed by our experienced editorial teams to ensure a fair and thorough evaluation. The deadline to submit is February 25, 2026.
