MWC is over, and it's been a good week for tech fans - with the announcement of several new flagship devices, impressive tablets and excellent wearables.

Below are all the biggest news stories and our hands-on reviews of the latest tech from the show floor.

HTC

HTC kicked things off on Sunday afternoon when they announced their flagship HTC One M9. We went hands-on with the device and found it to be another excellent upgrade to the 'One' range of smartphones. Its top-class build quality is unrivalled by Android smartphones, and HTC has answered a lot of critics with a new camera and improved grip.

The One M9 wasn't all that HTC announced, we were also given a brief glimpse of their upcoming fitness tracker, the HTC Grip. The Grip is a lightweight device that tracks and records a number of different workouts. The company was keen to point out that it's intended for serious athletes.

HTC managed to surprise everyone by announcing their partnership with Valve to release a Steam VR headset named the Vive. The virtual reality headset will be used for gaming, but HTC also have companies such as Google and HBO developing apps for it.

What to Read Next

Samsung

Shortly after HTC, Samsung hit the stage on Sunday to unveil their latest flagships, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

The new devices feature an aluminium unibody with glass casing, improved camera and powerful internal specs. We went hands-on with the device and, long story short, we can't wait until April 10. Here's everything you need to know about Samsung's new phones.

Unfortunately Samsung didn't show us a new round-face, Tizen-powered smartwatch at MWC. Apparently this is because they're taking time to perfect the design.

LG

LG unveiled two smartwatches at MWC, the Urbane and the Urbane LTE. Both are premium devices looking to challenge the Apple Watch.

The LTE features a 4G sim card, huge battery and runs an operating system based on WebOS, while the Urbane runs Android Wear and is essentially a fashion-focused LG G Watch R.

Unfortunately the company didn't have a new flagship smartphone to show off, but they did tell us that the LG G4 will be completely different to its 2014 predecessor.

Sony

Sony also had a few nice devices to show off - our favourite was the Z4 tablet. It has a 10.1-inch screen, thin and waterproof design, powerful internal specs and weighs just 393g. We went hands-on the tablet and were really impressed with its 2K screen and keyboard accessory.

The company also announced a new mid-range smartphone named the M4 Aqua, which, unsurprisingly given the name, includes waterproofing. From our brief hands-on with the device, we think it's a really great entry into a crowded market segment.

Microsoft

Microsoft revealed two devices in Barcelona, the mid-range 640 and 640 XL. Both phones feature better and larger screens (5-inch for the 640 and 5.7-inches for the XL).

From our hands-on with these devices, it's clear that Microsoft knows how to make excellent budget and mid-range phones. Combine this with the fact that users get Microsoft Office 365 and HERE navigation services, it all adds up to a very tempting proposition.

Digital Spy also interviewed UK Windows Phone director Greg Sullivan, who opened up about Windows Phone 10 and how it will address the app gap, and the possibility of it running on wearable devices.

Other

Of course, it wasn't just big-brand names and flagship devices at this year's event:

Huawei

The Chinese manufacturer showed us a very well-designed smartwatch which includes a sapphire crystal screen, and more sensors than any other smartwatch. We went hands-on with the Huawei Watch and must say that we're very impressed with its level of customisability and built quality.

Pebble

Pebble has revealed a successor to its popular 'Watch'. It's called the Pebble Time, and features a colour e-ink display and impressive six-day battery life. Pebbles are one of the only multi-platform smartwatches, and from our time with it, we think it could be a genuine rival to the Apple Watch.

Digital Spy interviewed Eric Migicovsky, the CEO and founder of Pebble, who explained why he chose to return to Kickstarter to launch his second product.

Ford

Auto manufacturer Ford might seem like a strange presence at MWC, but they surprised everyone with two innovative electric bikes.

Blackberry

Blackberry also made a surprise demonstration, providing a quick glimpse of their new touchscreen, sliding-keyboard smartphone while on stage.
