Besides whole new families of phones, the evolution of augmented reality and the true start of 5G networks and devices, you couldn't escape the folding phone. MWC went so hard on the old folding device trend, we began to see them even where they didn't exist.

Huawei's Mate X launched at MWC with a display that wrapped around the outside. Want excitement in smartphone design? That will be €2,300, please.

The Mate X, at least, was shown off tantalizingly close to MWC attendees.

Back to folding screens in glass boxes. TCL had a bunch of flexible screens embedded into prototype devices. No commitments to any devices yet.

Royole's folding phone continued its tour after CES. It had plenty of execs to fold its phone for you. sigh

LG's Dual Screen accessory for its new V50 phone works as a folio case and fakes the multitasking prowess of folding devices without the heavy investment.

Microsoft's Hololens 2 has a folding visor. That counts.

Non-folding bonus: The Galaxy Fold, announced just ahead of MWC, was here. Tragically, it was encased in glass -- and completely static.
