Microsoft announced that it will make a keynote address by CEO Satia Nadera on February 24, 2019 local time the day before the opening of MWC 19 and sent an invitation to the media.


Because technical fellow Alex Kippman, who is listed with Nadera CEO in the invitation, is a member of the HoloLens project, Microsoft is dedicated to officially announcing the new HoloLens at MWC 19.



For HoloLens 2, there is a certainty that a coprocessor for the newly developed AI function is surely installed, and there are rumors that it is also an ARM device with Qualcomm's SoC "Snapdragon 850" loaded.

In the past, Microsoft has extensively made presentations on Windows Mobile and Windows Phone at MWC. Microsoft withdrew from the mobile field and had been waiting for MWC for three years, but Microsoft seems to be coming back to Barcelona with a new MR headset HoloLens 2.

Microsoft's activities at MWC 19 will be announced from time to time at the following special site.
