Mobile World Congress is the giant Barcelona-based tech conference that runs for a few days at the end of every Feburary.
It's a chance for industry types to mingle and journalists to get a look at some of the latest products. It's also the launch venue of choice for several technology titans.

This year was no different as both Samsung and Sony launched new flagship smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Sony XZ2 are the top-tier Android alternatives to Apple's iPhone X and iPhone 8.

Jeff Parsons and Shivali Best have both attended Mobile World Congress and spend this week's episode of Future File analysing the big talking points from this year's event.

They touch on the big news from Sony and Samsung and question whether re-released retro phones, which continued in 2018 with the Nokia 8112, is a viable option for some people.

There's also a special competition that you can enter to win your very own Samsung Galaxy S9+ and a trip up the BT Tower in London.
