Welcome to The Sideload episode 25, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will welcomes Ben Schoon back to the show to discuss his week attending MWC 2026. From Qualcomm's new wearable-focused chipset to Lenovo's very promising concept gaming tablet, it's a whirlwind exploration of everything Barcelona had to offer — and we still find time to dunk on Honor's robot smartphone.
