What are the best phones announced at MWC 2023? There’s no need to wonder, we have the best models all picked out for you here.
There are usually plenty of new smartphones announced in and around Mobile World Congress, and although the last few years have been a little lacking, MWC 2023 hasn’t disappointed with a wide variety of new and interesting devices.
From foldables, wild concepts, and “normal” phones that check all the right boxes, here are our picks for the best phones of MWC 2023.Xiaomi 13 Pro
Xiaomi launched an entire series of new phones under the Xiaomi 13 name at MWC 2023, but it’s the Xiaomi 13 Pro that we’re most interested in. It’s the current top model in the range (until Xiaomi decides to launch a 13 Ultra), and the big thing about it is the Leica-tuned camera. We’ve tested it out and have been impressed with the photos it takes, and are really keen to review it fully.
The Xiaomi 13 Pro is a big phone with a 6.73-inch screen, plus it’s powerful with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor inside. The design is quite simple, but it still manages to look unique. It also has a fast charging system that takes the battery from empty to full in about 20 minutes. Sadly, Xiaomi doesn’t sell its smartphones in the U.S., but the Xiaomi 13 Pro will soon be out in the U.K. for 1,099 British pounds (about $1,315).Honor Magic Vs
The Honor Magic Vs is the first of two big-screen folding smartphones on our list. We first tried the Magic Vs out last year and were impressed with the hardware. That hasn’t changed upon revisiting the phone at MWC 2023, but we have noted the software and camera need work. This hasn’t entirely dampened our enthusiasm, though, as we’re glad a worthy Galaxy Z Fold 4 competitor will launch outside China for a change.
