MWC 2024 is on fire this year, showcasing some of the most out-this-world tech we’ve ever seen.
Whether it’s a bizarre foldable, an eccentric AI gizmo, or an outlandish laptop, here are the wildest tech we’ve spotted at MWC 2024 so far.
3 wildest tech at MWC 2024
1. Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop
When we mentioned that Lenovo was unveiling a proof-of-concept laptop, our co-workers thought we were talking about the translucent-material design that lets you see a machine’s internals.

However, they uttered audible gasps when we showed them the ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop. This isn’t some trite design — you can literally see through the laptop’s lid.
Plus, we were blown away when we could see through the 17.3-inch display while it played a YouTube video.

A see-through 17.3-inch laptop with a mini-LED panel? Definitely one of the weirdest tech at MWC 2024.
2. Humane Ai Pin
The Ai Pin made a splash late last year when the startup behind it, Humane (founded by former Apple employees), claimed that it created a glitzy, fashionable wearable designed to replace the smartphone. A bold claim, I know.

The Ai Pin made a reappearance at MWC 2024, with Humane representatives showing off the Ai Pin’s capabilities, including its question-answering prowess and its ability to tackle voice commands.

The Ai Pin can also project visuals onto your hand, allowing you to interact with the device.
After all, it doesn’t have a screen, so Humane has discovered other ways to help users feel “connected” — without using a bright, glaring panel.
3. Motorola’s bendy phone
We have tech that you an wear on your chest, but what about a gizmo you can wrap around your wrist? Say hello to the Motorola’s bendy phone concept.

Motorola’s been working on this concept for quite some time now — as far back as 2016. However, it looks like the mobile hardware company has been perfecting it.
Mashable’s Stan Schroeder got to demo the bracelet-esque phone at MWC 2024, and as it turns out, the device uses a flexible pOLED display, allowing users to bend it at various angles. You may be wondering, “How does it fit a battery?”

“A number of small batteries, instead of the typical one big unit, [are] arranged in such a way to form a sort of a spine for the device,” Schroeder said.
It can also transform into a tent mode posture, allowing you to play games with competitors sitting opposite from you.
Final thoughts
Motorola’s bendable phone and Lenovo’s transparent laptop seem the furthest away from market.
However, despite how futuristic the Ai pin may sound, it’s already hit store shelves. It has a starting price of $700 and you can order it here.
