Mobile World Congress, happening this week in Barcelona, is a huge industry event where Android phone and tablet makers show off their newest products. The big themes from this year’s MWC make up the discussion on this week’s show: innovation in smartphones, the growing accessibility of VR cameras, and the design standouts. Also, Sony released a strange and beautiful (but conceptual) smart home platform, and the hosts weigh the Japanese giant’s chances in a crowded market.
