Mobile World Congress 2014 is the talking shop for the all things related mobile phones, or specifically GSM. Samsung announced the new iteration to the Galaxy S family, the S5. There are minimal changes to the hardware. What got most people talking is the pin cushion styled back. It has an uncanny similarity with a piece of handy plaster, so much so that Samsung rivals started poking fun at them. link Other styling changes includes a cap for the USB port to make it nearly water proof. The battery and SD card are still removable.
Nokia announced their line of Android phones, yes, a forked version of Android phones to entice users onto the Windows platform. The very low end specifications shows that they are serious in launching it in India. Same as HP, but with tablets. I hope the rupee exchange rates puts a dent on their plans.
Sony also showed off a new baby, the Sony Z2 with 3GB of RAM!

There are so may SnapDragon 800s that is so confusing. Hopefully this article should clear things up. link
