{Disarmed} Xiaomi also has an exclusive pin for the Mobile World Congress (and this is its story)

A tradition that comes from long. Within this mini-city that is the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​like every year, the MWC 2022 is loaded with pins. And Xiaomi has its own exclusive model. If you want to get hold of it you will have to go to Hall 3, stand 3D10.

A pin that honors a mythical building

Our director of devices already said it : "it is curious to see people exchanging pins to get them all, especially when they are executives all in suits ".

And it is that the devotion to achieve them all, which is not easy at all and requires going through the fair to the last corner, is a very attractive challenge. As if it were about completing the Pokédex, hundreds of journalists and specialists run from stand to stand, from the reception to the most secluded boutiques, to get hold of them.

The Xiaomi pin refers, as we can see in the header image, to La Carbonería. Sounds like nothing to you?

Those who are not residents of Barcelona should know that La Carbonería is the oldest building in the Eixample area, an industrial enclave that has survived demolitions and redevelopment. Located between Urgell and Floridablanca streets, graffitied and squatted by the artists of the Sant Antoni neighborhood, this pin proudly represents the history of this construction that dates back to 1864 , under the direction of the master builder Antoni Valls i Galí.

A tradition with more than a decade

And yes, going from stand to stand completing the sticker album and collecting all the pins is quite an addictive challenge .
