Russell Holly, senior editor at Android Central, shares his thoughts on what he saw this weekend at Mobile World Congress, or MWC. Samsung, Google, and others unveiled new hardware and software.
Samsung finally revealed its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S9. The phone will be priced at $719.99, far cheaper than Apple's iPhone X which costs $1,000. However, Holly notes the phone could be more expensive depending on which carrier you buy it from.
Nokia made a nostalgia play at MWC, showing off its new 8110 Reloaded phone. The phone is famous for an appearance in "The Matrix," and it's shaped like a banana. Since the phone is priced under $100, Holly says it could actually do quite well if Nokia can deliver.
Elon Musk had some harsh words for advertisers who have left his platform X over rising hate and anti-Semitism on the platform, formerly known as Twitter.
Saudi Arabia will extend a cut in the amount of oil it sends to the world after a series of previous reductions by members of the OPEC+ alliance of major producing countries failed to prop up prices.
