Mobile World Congress is the venue for some of the biggest smartphone launches in the world and this year things got a little weird Samsung and Huawei headphones that fold in half LG's flagship sees the blood in your veins and Nokia brought out a device with five cameras but things got really interesting when you look beyond the big launches here are some of the coolest and weirdest phones from MWC 2019 the energizer Power Max P 18 kpop is the thickest and heaviest Android phone we've ever seen this bad boy will keep running for days at an end thanks to its eighteen thousand milliamp hour battery for reference that's four to six times what you would get with a normal Android phone the obvious downside is you'll have to carry a brick around which probably won't be fun the cloud minds x.i is a bit like a tricorder from Star Trek you can point it at a drug or other unknown substance and it will tell you what it is that's because this phone has a built-in spectrometer cloud minds also showed off a phone with a built-in ultrasound scanner these devices are designed for scientists and industrial use but they are actual real Android phones you could use to browse Instagram after a long day of science made by a Chinese company nomu the t18 is ideal for Preppers if you want to be ready for anything this phone will take a beating it's rugged water-resistant and even hardened against explosions if you find yourself without cell service you can use the built-in walkie-talkie to reach other people this is the phone you'll want to have when the zombie apocalypse comes before continue I'd like to give a quick shout out to digit daily our sponsor for Mobile World Congress 2019 your tech news direct your Inbox make sure to check the link in the description below for more information the Hisense a6 is pretty tame compared to some of the other phones on this list but how often do you see a phone with two displays an OLED and an eating the e-ink screen on the back is awesome for reading ebooks but it can do way more than that you could even mirror the full Android interface on it ian's screens don't consume your battery when not in use so battery life should be great remember QWERTY slider phones a company called FX Tech wants to bring them back the first product is the pro one and we're pretty impressed with it besides the full hardware keyboard the pro one has a great-looking OLED display solid specs and basically everything you may want in a daily driver the sliding keyboard makes it a great choice for productive users whether you want to type in a novel or just a facebook status update this next one is not really a smart phone but that's what Nubia calls it the Nubia Alpha features Smart Watch specs with some smartphone features sprinkled in you can make calls on it because it supports Isom the Alpha has a large OLED screen that bends a built-in camera gesture controls GPS and fitness tracking it's not the best looking device out there but we're impressed with how much tech there is inside and that pretty much concludes our list of weird smartphones from MWC 2019 let us know which one is your favorite down in the comments section below and as always keep it tuned here to Android Authority for more and stay tuned for the rest of our MWC 2019 coverage
