Vergecast: Mobile World Congress round table

Mobile World Congress 2019 just wrapped up, and The Vergecast wraps up the coverage in a bow for you to ingest. With Dieter on vacation, Nilay and Paul bring in senior editor Natt Garun, reporter Chaim Gartenberg, and senior editor Dan Seifert to give context and detail to the new phones announced at MWC. We’ve got a very tall phone, a very fat phone, a very bendable phone, and whole lot more.

We’ve also got some first hand experience with Microsoft’s new HoloLens 2, so keep listening for that exclusive content.

And of course, we’ve got Paul’s weekly segment — which turned into explaining the revised names of USB speeds — so keep listening to stay informed.
