At the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in the northeast coastal Spanish city of Barcelona, AI has firmly established itself as a core component of the mobile and telecommunications industry.

Dawn of "AI+" era
AI technologies have evolved into "fundamental infrastructure and a core capability that fully enables economic and social transformation," said He Biao, executive director and CEO of China Mobile, in a keynote speech.
AI's rapid development, he said, is triggering systemic shifts across daily life, production and governance, heralding the arrival of the "AI+" era.
Chinese smartphone maker Honor announced its transition from a smartphone manufacturer to an "AI-driven smart device ecosystem company." The company unveiled the "Honor Alpha Plan," which aims to integrate human-centric AI into smartphones, unlocking new possibilities for human potential.
The AI revolution will reshape the smart device industry, fundamentally transforming productivity, society and culture in unprecedented ways, said Honor CEO Li Jian.
Tecno, another Chinese smartphone maker, introduced its Next-Gen AI Ecosystem, featuring AI-powered smartphones, laptops, glasses, earphones and smartwatches. Tech giant Lenovo also made waves with its ThinkBook "codename Flip," a device that redefines professional workflows through AI-enhanced adaptability.
