Another year and Mobile World Congress comes and goes, and with that so does any interesting Android news for at least the next week. While this year's MWC may not have brought us the Samsung Galaxy S III we did get to see the HTC One X and around 30 other high-profile product annoucements.

The Android team has uploaded a video onto their Youtube channel, showing off what their amazing booth looked like during the 2012 Mobile World Congress, for those who couldn't attend it for themselves. Something as amazing as this must've taken days of construction and endless planning. Lets have a look back at this fun event through the eyes of the Android team.

Android-powered GALAXY S II recognized for its powerful performance and next level of viewing experience with a Super AMOLED Plus display

Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider, announced that the GALAXY S II was named “Best Smartphone” by GSMA, an organization that represents the interests of the worldwide mobile communications industry and hosts the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.

Google's chairman Eric Schmidt gave a keynote speech at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. He touched on the fact that this show was dedicated to high end devices and realises that only a small percentage of people will get access to these devices. “We talk about how everyone has a cellphone, but only about one billion have a phone,” he said. “For most people, the digital revolution has not arrived yet.” Mr Schmidt believes in the migration from people using mobile to people using smartphones will be far easier than getting people online using a computer.

Here are just some of the new models from major manufacturers that are likely to emerge this year.
