dear designboom reader,

modular design takes center stage during mobile world congress 2025 in barcelona. for xiaomi, it’s the concept attachable magnetic lens that turns smartphones into digital cameras. it’s flexible screens for samsung that can stretch or fold into a traveler’s briefcase.

speaking of folding, infinix introduces its concept smartphone that tucks into a card-sized action camera. beyond modular and smartphone designs, MWC 2025 serves as a platform for lenovo to showcase its solar-powered PC that charges itself.

thanks for reading!
