Sony has outed a teaser regarding its upcoming Mobile World Congress 2016 event. Sadly, the video doesn’t reveal much more than the date of the event, which we already knew. Nevertheless, make sure you check out the cool math induced teaser below.

Other than that, there’s little information what the company will be showcasing – this year the Sony leaks have been nowhere near intensive as the ones concerning the LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7. Perhaps that means a flagship device won’t be announced and instead, the company would only refresh the mid-range and wearable line-ups.

Stay tuned, as we’ll be covering everything happening from the Mobile World Congress 2016 showroom floors.

In 2015, the ZTE Grand S3 saw the light of day, back in 2013, it was the ZTE Grand Memo and a year before that – a total of 8 phones were unveiled at the venue, so the traditions are strong.
