MWC 2025 just closed in Barcelona. Between flashy concepts and marketing noise, here is what will actually matter for the Algerian market within 12 months.
Samsung: the S25 Edge appears
The star of Samsung's stand was not a foldable but the mysterious S25 Edge: ultra-thin, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and a positioning that shakes the lineup. It lands in May.
Nothing: rising fast
Nothing confirms its playbook: aggressive pricing, unique design, and a lineup settling into the mid-range — exactly where Algeria buys most.
Xiaomi: charging as a weapon
Xiaomi went for demonstration: silicon-carbon batteries and 90-120 W charging on mid-rangers. The message: battery is no longer a flagship argument.
What actually reaches us
From dozens of announcements: Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO mid-rangers (guaranteed mass import), Nothing (growing importer interest), and the S25 Edge (pioneering the ultra-thin trend). The rest — foldable concepts, AI glasses — remains spectacle for now.
