Although it\u2019s hard to believe that the show is already over, MWC 2019 managed to deliver a slew of showstoppers that captured our attention. Here are some of my main takeaways from the event:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Foldable Phones Are the Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>MWC is an opportunity for telecommunications companies, chipmakers, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/02\/26\/mwc-2019-5g-smartphones-released-so-far.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">smartphone<\/a>\u00a0firms to show off their latest and greatest innovations, and they sure delivered this year. One particular device that had the show floor buzzing was the Huawei Mate X, a 5G-enabled smartphone that folds out to become an 8-inch tablet. Additionally, Samsung revealed its plans to hold a press event in early April for its foldable smartphone, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/2\/26\/18241123\/samsung-galaxy-fold-press-event-luxury-launch-interview-mwc-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Galaxy Fold<\/a>. Unlike Huawei\u2019s Mate X, the Galaxy Fold bends so that it encloses like a book. Although neither of these devices are available at to the public yet, they&#8217;ve definitely made a bold statement when it comes to smartphone design.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Smart Home Technology Goes Mobile <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Google is one company taking advantage of smartphone enhancements by putting its Google Assistant into the Android texting app. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/google-put-assistant-into-its-android-texting-app-and-its-pretty-cool-mwc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Assistant for Android Messages<\/a>\u00a0allows slices of Google search results to be laid out for users based on their text messages. For example, if one user texted another asking to grab some lunch, a bubble would pop up authorizing Assistant to share suggestions for nearby restaurant locations. While Assistant for Android currently only works for movies and restaurants, we can imagine how this technology could expand to other facets of consumer lives. This addition also demonstrates how AI is slowly but surely making its way onto almost every high-end phone through its apps and other tools.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Enhancing the Gaming Experience with 5G, VR, and AR<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not to be shown up, gaming developers also made a statement by using 5G technology to bring gamers into a more immersed gaming environment. Mobile game developer <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2019\/02\/26\/niantic-5g-harry-potter-ar-pokemon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Niantic<\/a>, creator of <em>Pok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0<\/em>and the upcoming <em>Harry Potter: Wizards Unite<\/em>app, is already working on games that will require a 5G upgrade. One such prototype the company showcased, codenamed Neon, allows multiple people in the same place to play an augmented reality (AR) game at the same time. Each players&#8217; phone shows them the game&#8217;s graphics superimposed on the real world and allows the players to shoot each other, duck and dodge, and pick up virtual items, all in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>Niantic wasn\u2019t the only one looking to expand the gaming experience with the help of 5G. At the Intel and Nokia booths, Sony set up an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/spider-man-far-from-home-swings-to-mwc-2019-courtesy-of-5g-and-oculus-vr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oculus Rift VR game<\/a>\u00a0inspired by Marvel and Sony\u2019s upcoming film <em>Spider-Man: Far From Home<\/em>. Thanks to the low latency and real-time responsiveness of 5G, one player in the Nokia booth was able to race the other player in the Intel booth as if they were swinging through spiderwebs in Manhattan. Players were able to experience how the next-generation of wireless technology will allow them to participate in a highly immersive gaming experience.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bringing 4G and 5G to the Automotive Industry <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Gaming isn\u2019t the only industry that\u2019s getting a facelift from 5G. At the show, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/patrickmoorhead\/2019\/02\/27\/qualcomm-pushes-further-into-automotive-at-mwc-2019\/#fc17e264db8a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Qualcomm<\/a>\u00a0announced two new additions to their automotive platform: the Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive 4G and 5G Platforms. One of the main features of these platforms is vehicle-to-everything communication, or C-V2X, which allows a car to communicate with other vehicles on the road, roadside infrastructure, and more. In addition, the platforms offer a high-precision, multi-frequency global navigation satellite system, which will help enable self-driving implementations. The platforms also include features like multi-gigabit cloud connectivity, high bandwidth low latency teleoperations support, and precise positioning for lane-level navigation accuracy. These advancements in connectivity will potentially help future vehicles to improve safety, communications, and overall in-car experience for consumers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Securing Consumers On-the-Go<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The advancements in mobile connectivity have already made a huge impact on consumer lifestyles, especially given the widespread adoption of IoT devices and smart gadgets. But the rise in popularity of these devices has also caught the interest of malicious actors looking to access users\u2019 networks. According to our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/enterprise\/en-us\/assets\/reports\/rp-mobile-threat-report-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mobile Threat Report<\/a>, cybercriminals look to trusted devices to gain access to other devices on the user\u2019s home network. For example, McAfee researchers recently discovered a vulnerability within a <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/other-blogs\/mcafee-labs\/your-smart-coffee-maker-is-brewing-up-trouble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mr. Coffee<\/a> brand coffee maker that could allow a malicious actor to access the user\u2019s home network. In addition, they also uncovered a new vulnerability within <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/other-blogs\/mcafee-labs\/whats-in-the-box\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BoxLock<\/a> smart padlocks that could enable cybercriminals to unlock the devices within a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>And while consumers must take necessary security steps to combat vulnerabilities such as these, we at McAfee are also doing our part of help users everywhere remain secure. For instance, we\u2019ve recently extended our partnerships with both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20190225005396\/en\/McAfee-Samsung-Extend-Partnership-Secure-Galaxy-S10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samsung<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20190225005401\/en\/T%C3%BCrk-Telekom-McAfee-Offer-Customers-Digital-Parenting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">T\u00fcrk Telekom<\/a>\u00a0in order to overcome some of these cybersecurity challenges. Together, we\u2019re working to secure consumers from cyberthreats on Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphones and provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/consumer\/en-us\/store\/m0\/catalog\/msf_506\/mcafee-safe-family.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McAfee Safe Family<\/a>\u00a0protection for T\u00fcrk Telekom\u2019s fixed and mobile broadband customers.<\/p>\n<p>While the likes of 5G, bendable smartphones, and VR took this year\u2019s tradeshow by storm, it\u2019s important for consumers to keep the cybersecurity implications of these advancements in mind. As the sun sets on our time here in Barcelona, we will keep working to safeguard every aspect of the consumer lifestyle so they can embrace improvements in mobile connectivity with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>To stay on top of McAfee\u2019s MWC news and the latest consumer and mobile security threats, be sure to follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McAfee_Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@McAfee_Home<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, listen to our podcast\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/us\/id1257232208?mt=2&amp;at=1010lbVy&amp;ct=mcafeehackable_GaryBlog_EndBlurb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Hackable?<\/em><\/a>, and \u2018Like\u2019 us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time has come to say goodbye to Barcelona as we wrap up our time here at Mobile World Congress&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":674,"featured_media":91481,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10667,10661,8050],"tags":[4452,4131,5084,214,18,4140],"coauthors":[3973],"class_list":["post-94383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security-news","category-internet-security","category-mcafee-news","tag-cybersecurity","tag-internet-of-things","tag-iot","tag-mobile-security1","tag-network-security","tag-quarterly-threats-report"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What MWC 2019 Shows Us About the Future of Connectivity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The time has come to say goodbye to Barcelona as we wrap up our time here at Mobile World Congress (MWC).
