Lenovo AI Workmate Concept
Lenovo’s AI Workmate Concept stood out as one of the more unusual prototypes displayed at MWC 2026, presenting a small robotic desk companion designed to support daily professional workflows.
The device resembles a miniature robotic arm, but instead of a mechanical gripper it features a document-scanning camera, a projector, and a display that shows animated eyes. Its design focuses on making AI interactions feel more natural during everyday office tasks.
The AI Workmate is built to respond to voice commands while also supporting gesture, writing, and spatial interaction. On-device processing enables the system to interpret these inputs locally and translate them into practical outputs.
The concept can scan documents, summarize information, organize notes, and assist with building presentations. It can also project content onto nearby surfaces such as walls or desks, demonstrating Lenovo’s exploration of spatial computing experiences integrated directly into workplace environments.
Lenovo ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept
Lenovo also introduced the ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept, a flexible laptop design that explores modular computing for business users.
The device centers on a thin 14 inch base system that can support multiple configurations using detachable displays and interchangeable components. Its secondary screen can attach to the top cover for shared viewing or function as a portable monitor using an integrated kickstand.
Users can also replace the keyboard with the secondary display to create a dual-screen system. In its expanded form, the workspace can reach roughly 19 inches of viewing area while remaining portable.
Another notable feature is the modular I/O system, which allows users to swap ports including USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI. Lenovo designed the concept to adapt between mobility and productivity scenarios while maintaining system stability and performance.
Lenovo Legion Go Fold Concept
Expanding on its handheld gaming lineup, Lenovo also revealed the Legion Go Fold Concept, a foldable Windows gaming device designed for portable entertainment.
The system features an 11.6 inch POLED display that folds into a compact 7.7 inch handheld configuration. Detachable controllers allow the device to operate like a traditional handheld console, while additional accessories enable laptop-style usage.
Gamers can switch between several modes including standard handheld play, vertical split-screen gaming for streaming or guides, a full-screen landscape gaming mode, and a desktop setup with a keyboard and trackpad.
Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and equipped with 32GB of RAM, the concept aims to balance portability with performance while exploring new form factors for mobile gaming.
GlocalMe PetPhone
Another unconventional reveal came from GlocalMe with the PetPhone, described as the first smartphone designed specifically for pets.
The device attaches to a pet’s collar and allows owners to communicate with their dogs or cats through two-way audio. Owners can call their pets remotely and speak to them through the built-in microphone and speaker.
PetPhone also includes health monitoring, activity tracking, and location tracking powered by six positioning technologies including GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and active radar.
The device connects through CloudSIM technology that enables network access across more than 200 countries without requiring a physical SIM card. It weighs just 37 grams and offers up to five days of battery life.
Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo Hypercar
Xiaomi used the event to showcase the Vision Gran Turismo Hypercar, a concept vehicle created for the Gran Turismo racing simulation series.
The digital hypercar features a teardrop-shaped aerodynamic body with large air channels that allow airflow to pass through the chassis. The exterior also includes enclosed wheels and a wraparound glass canopy that gives the driver a fighter jet style view of the track.
The vehicle is imagined as a fully electric system powered by multiple motors to deliver instant torque and all-wheel-drive control. Inside, a driver-focused cockpit includes a holographic augmented reality interface that projects racing telemetry directly into the driver’s view.
Honor Humanoid Robot
Honor also delivered a theatrical reveal by introducing a humanoid robot during its event presentation.
The robot demonstrated mobility and balance capabilities by walking on stage, dancing, moonwalking, and performing a backflip. It briefly stumbled during the landing but quickly regained balance.
The demonstration was part of Honor’s broader push around its Augmented Human Intelligence vision, which focuses on integrating robotics, AI devices, and ecosystem products.
It came alongside the Honor Robot Phone.
TCL Tbot
TCL introduced the Tbot concept, an AI desktop companion designed to complement children’s smartwatches.
When the watch is removed for charging, Tbot acts as a home base that maintains continuity between outdoor activity tracking and at-home interaction. The device is envisioned as an assistant that helps children manage routines such as wake-up alarms, bedtime reminders, and study timers.
It can also function as a storytelling companion at night and provide parents with configurable notifications and alerts through connected services.
Anker Soundcore Space 2 Headphones
Anker expanded its audio lineup with the Soundcore Space 2 wireless headphones, offering strong noise cancellation at a more accessible price point.
The headphones feature improved active noise cancellation that better suppresses low-frequency sounds such as airplane engines. Battery life has also increased from 40 hours to 50 hours with noise cancellation enabled.
Despite costing significantly less than premium competitors, the Space 2 aims to deliver competitive ANC performance while maintaining long battery endurance.
Lenovo Yoga Creative Keyboard AngryMiao Edition
Lenovo also announced the Yoga Creative Keyboard AngryMiao Edition, a collaboration with high-end peripheral brand AngryMiao.
The keyboard features a translucent design and an oversized control knob that allows creators to adjust audio levels or control editing timelines with tactile precision.
It also includes silent switches for quieter typing sessions, a USB-C hub, and a dedicated Yoga key that allows compatible Yoga devices to switch between different audio outputs.
Honor MagicPad 4 Tablet
Honor’s MagicPad 4 tablet attracted attention for its ultra-thin design, measuring just 4.8mm thick and weighing about 450 grams.
The device features a 12.3 inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 2400 nits. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, the tablet is positioned as a productivity and entertainment device.
It also includes an eight-speaker audio system, a 10,100mAh battery with 66W charging, and cross-platform file sharing across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS ecosystems.
Xiaomi Tag Tracker
Rounding out the announcements, Xiaomi revealed the Xiaomi Tag tracker, a compact Bluetooth device designed to help users locate personal belongings.
The tracker works with both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find Hub system, though users must select one network at a time. It transmits encrypted Bluetooth signals that nearby devices relay anonymously to the cloud.
A coin cell battery powers the tracker for up to a year, and the elongated design includes an integrated metal loop so it can attach directly to keys or bags without needing additional accessories.
