Mobile World Congress: Here are things that are expected to happen
Mobile World Congress has arrived already. I would rather call this post as late, but at the same I would like to tell, what you can expect in the second largest gadgets show in the world. Here are some devices from manufacturers that we expect to hit the MWC 2014. The manufacturers include Acer, BlackBerry to Samsung in the alphabetical Order. Check out the list.
Acer
Acer is coming out with a variety of devices for the MWC. Here are a few of them.
Liquid E3
It is a mid range device that is in direct competition with the LG G2 mini.
Liquid Z4
It costs as much as the E3 and will be a direct competitor to the Xperia Z1.
Liquid S3
A successor to the Liquid S2 which features 2160p video recording. A flagship device.
BlackBerry
BlackBerry is expected to out its entry level handset dubbed the Z3. It is said to feature touchscreen unlike its Q5 which is a combination of touch and qwerty. Though the BB OS 10 is not that much of a success, it sure is to improve upon the OS. This phone is not very likely though for the MWC.
HTC

This device is not very likely for the MWC, but you will never know. HTC has an event on March 25 and that is when it should announce all its new devices.
Octa-core
