MWC 2024 is making waves this year, showcasing some of the most extraordinary technology we’ve ever seen.
Whether it’s a quirky foldable computer, an eccentric AI gadget, or a quirky laptop, here are the strangest technologies we’ve spotted at MWC 2024 so far.
The 3 wildest technologies at MWC 2024
1. Lenovo ThinkBook laptop with clear display
When we mentioned that Lenovo was showing off a proof-of-concept laptop, our colleagues thought we were talking about a design made of a translucent material that allows you to see inside the computer.

However, they let out an audible gasp when we showed them a ThinkBook laptop with a clear display. This isn’t some inconsequential project – you can literally do it see through laptop cover.

Other than that, we were very impressed that we could see through the 17.3-inch display while playing a YouTube video.

A clear 17.3-inch laptop with a mini-LED panel? Definitely one of the strangest technologies at MWC 2024.
2. Humanitarian AI Pin
Ai Pin made a splash slow last year when the startup behind it, Humane (founded by former Apple employees) claimed to have created a shiny, fashionable wearable device to replace the smartphone. I know, bold claim.

Ai Pin reappeared at MWC 2024, and Humane representatives showed off Ai Pin’s capabilities, including its ability to answer questions and its ability to deal with voice commands.

Ai Pin can also display images on your hand, allowing you to interact with your device.

After all, there’s no screen, so Humane discovered other ways to lend a hand users feel “connected” – without using a radiant, blatant panel.
3. Bent Motorola phone
We have technology you can wear on your chest, but what about a gadget you can wrap around your wrist? Say hello to Motorola’s bent phone concept.

Motorola has been working on this concept for a long time – back in 2016. However, it seems that the mobile equipment manufacturer has improved it.
Mashable’s Stan Schroeder had the opportunity to preview the bracelet-like phone at MWC 2024, and as it turns out, the device uses a versatile POLED display that allows users to bend it to different angles. You may be wondering, “How does this fit into the battery?”

“Several compact batteries instead of the typical one vast unit, [are] arranged in such a way that they form a kind of spine for the device,” Schroeder said.

It can also be converted into a tent position, allowing you to play with competitors sitting across from you.
Final thoughts
Motorola’s bendable phone and Lenovo’s clear laptop seem furthest from the market.
However, despite how futuristic the Ai stiletto may sound, it has already hit store shelves. Its starting price is $700 and is available to order Here.
