Honor stands up to Apple, AI speaks Catalan, and Cellnex pays too much rent.

Honor is in agreement with Apple.

The Chinese gadget brand entertained us with the inevitable humanoid robot performing acrobatics on stage alongside human dancers. Much more interesting was the presentation of thesmartphone The foldable Magic V9 is a true showcase of technology, which the brand contextualized by comparing it to rivals of all kinds, but especially to Apple devices, claiming that, when unfolded, it has more battery life than an iPad and that its energy density surpasses that of an electric car. Despite the competition, Honor boasts that the Magic V9 can exchange files with iPhones as easily as AirDrop, and that the MagicPad 4 tablet can become a second screen for a MacBook. In terms of imaging, Honor wants to go beyond the alliances of other Chinese brands with German optics manufacturers like Hasselblad, Leica, and Zeiss, and has announced an agreement with the American film camera company Arri.

Take notes in Catalan.

At ShowStoppers, the usual showcase for brands without the resources to have a stand at MWC, there was also a humanoid robot, in this case from Agibot, and a Motorola camera that looks like ET (or Wall-E, for younger viewers) for monitoring babies, which uses AI technology that... things are bad because of the bad ones, because they are the ones that come bad because they suffer hunger because they suffer hunger because they suffer hunger because they are bad the hunger because they are bad the hunger because they are bad the hunger because they are bad the hunger. There are also algorithms behind the small devices from Plaud and Soundcore that, for around €150, can record the sound of a meeting or interview, transcribe it, and summarize it. For us, the good news is that they also work in Catalan.

The real estate bubble threatens mobile phones.

With over 114,000 towers in 10 countries, Cellnex is Europe's leading telecommunications infrastructure operator. Simone Battiferri, Chief Operating Officer, explained yesterday that their main cost is land rental for their tower sites—they receive tens of thousands of invoices for this each month, which they have begun managing with AI agents—and warned that in the UK and Italy, the prices of these real estate assets are capped by law to prevent price gouging. The company's innovation division, led by Òscar Pallarols, showcased projects such as offering electricity companies the backup battery capacity of their antennas to act as a buffer during peak energy demand. They also demonstrated how a mini-antenna on a lamppost in London's Hammersmith neighborhood is managed from the network operations center at the foot of the Collserola tower, the same center that distributes digital terrestrial television and radio signals to four million people.
