Like every year, MWC 2015 will have smartphone biggies launching their flagship smartphones. Here are seven of the biggest launches that are expected to take place at the event.
1.Samsung galaxy S6:
The biggest launch at the Mobile World Congress, Samsung Galaxy S6 is said to have a 5-inch display, smaller than the screen size of its predecessor. However, the resolution is said to go up from Full HD (1080x1920p) to 2K (1440x1560p). The Galaxy S6 Edge will have curved screens on both sides, according to leaks and Samsung's teaser videos and images.
The upcoming model will run on the 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 chipset, which is made on the ultra-thin 14nm process. The smartphone is said to come in 32, 64 and 128GB variants and is expected to have 3GB and 4GB RAM options. It is expected that Samsung will use a 20.7MP Sony sensor for the Galaxy S6's rear camera; a 5MP camera will be used for taking selfies.
The battery capacity of Galaxy S6 is said to be 2,600mAh, 200mAh lesser than that of Galaxy S5. Samsung is also making on add-on back panels that provide extra functionality to the smartphone, like turning it into an e-reader or place S Health features on the back.
The design too is likely to get an overhaul this year, with metal frame and ultra-thin bezels.

2.HTC One M9:
HTC's flagship smartphone of 2015, the upcoming One M9, is said to be only an incremental upgrade over its predecessor. It is said to retain the 5-inch full-HD display, but run on the octa-core 2GHz Snapdragon 810 processor. It will have 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage and microSD card support for storage expansion.
On the imaging front, HTC One M9 will sport a 20.7MP rear camera with LED flash and a 4MP or 13MP selfie shooter with UltraPixel technology. Other key hardware features of the upcoming smartphone are: 2,900mAh battery, BoomSound front speakers with Dolby Audio Surround technology and Bluetooth 4.1.
The smartphone, however, will reportedly have the same design as HTC One (M8), with not much to distinguish it from last year's model except two-tone edges.
Leaked videos show that Sense 7 UI skin is also largely the same, but now allows users to customize the theme with a source image and has a location-aware menu. It also lets users select theme packs for app icons and the BlinkFeed home screen also offers meal time suggestions. There's also a new photo editor.
