MWC 2025: Lenovo Unveils Yoga 7 Laptops with 2.8K OLED Display and Ryzen AI Processors; Google’s Gemini Adds Screen Analysis and Live Video Features
BARCELONA—Mobile World Congress 2025 kicked off with a flurry of announcements, but two standouts stole the spotlight: Lenovo’s sleek new Yoga 7 laptops and Google’s groundbreaking Gemini AI updates. From dazzling displays to real-time video intelligence, this year’s innovations are poised to redefine how we work, create, and interact with technology.
Lenovo Yoga 7: A Visual and Computational Powerhouse
Lenovo’s Yoga lineup has long been synonymous with versatility, but the new Yoga 7 series pushes boundaries further. The star attraction is its 14-inch 2.8K OLED display, which promises richer blacks, vibrant colors, and a 120Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth scrolling. Whether editing photos, streaming HDR content, or multitasking, the panel aims to deliver “a window into another dimension,” as described by Lenovo’s Chief Design Officer during the keynote.
Under the hood, the Yoga 7 debuts AMD’s next-gen Ryzen AI processors, optimized for on-device AI tasks. These chips enable features like real-time language translation, adaptive noise cancellation during video calls, and context-aware power management. “This isn’t just a laptop—it’s an AI companion that learns from your habits,” said a Lenovo spokesperson. The Ryzen AI integration also promises up to 18 hours of battery life, a claim that drew applause from the MWC audience.
Design-wise, the Yoga 7 retains its iconic 360-degree hinge but slims down to just 13.9mm thick, making it one of the lightest convertibles in its class. Pricing starts at $1,299, with preorders opening next month.
Google’s Gemini: Now Analyzing Screens and Live Video
While hardware dazzled, Google’s Gemini AI stole the show with software smarts. The company announced major upgrades to its multimodal AI model, including the ability to analyze screen content and process live video feeds from smartphone cameras.
Imagine pointing your phone at a crowded restaurant menu, and Gemini instantly translating it while highlighting dietary options. Or filming a live concert, and Gemini identifying the song lyrics, band history, and even generating shareable trivia in real time. These scenarios are now possible, thanks to Gemini’s expanded vision capabilities.
“Gemini isn’t just about answering questions—it’s about understanding context,” said Google’s VP of AI Products during a demo. A standout moment featured Gemini analyzing a user’s tablet screen during a math lesson, spotting errors in equations, and offering step-by-step corrections.
For developers, Google unveiled new APIs that let apps leverage Gemini’s screen and video analysis. Early partners include Duolingo, which plans to integrate live translation overlays, and Snapchat, experimenting with AR filters that react to real-world objects.

Hands-On Demos and Industry Reactions
On the MWC show floor, attendees lined up to test both innovations. Lenovo’s Yoga 7 OLED display drew crowds, with many praising its color accuracy and glare-free matte finish. Meanwhile, Google’s Gemini booth showcased live demos, including a viral moment where the AI identified rare plant species via a smartphone camera and provided care tips.

Critics argue about privacy implications—particularly Gemini’s screen analysis—but Google emphasized user control. “All processing happens on-device unless explicit permission is given,” assured a Gemini engineer.
The Future of Hybrid Computing
MWC 2025 underscores a trend: the line between hardware and AI is blurring. Lenovo’s Yoga 7 and Google’s Gemini represent a symbiotic leap—powerful local processors meeting cloud-enhanced intelligence. As one analyst noted, “It’s no longer about specs alone. It’s about how seamlessly tech adapts to you.”
With shipments of the Yoga 7 beginning in Q2 and Gemini’s updates rolling out next month, the digital landscape is set for a transformative year. Stay tuned for deeper dives into these launches as we continue our MWC coverage.
