The third day at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2017) witnessed several interesting gadgets and technologies taking the centre stage. The show stealer, however, were the cloud computing services that received massive upgradations in terms of innovation and utility. Ubuntu introduced Ubuntu OpenStack, Juju and Charms, which are cloud-based open source modelling tools for telecom operators.

The day also saw companies pushing for investments. Niantic CEO John Hanke called for more cooperation from mobile carriers to tap into the tremendous potential that augmented reality (AR) possesses. He asserted that AR can help benefit both the game makers and the mobile carriers and generate profit on both sides. While Nokia pushed for the 5G switch over, mobile carriers suggested that LTE technology still had ample space for development.

Apart from smartphones, MWC 2017 also witnessed several interesting gadgets being launched in Barcelona. Take a look:
