LG on Wednesday sent out the invites for its Mobile World Congress (MWC) event, scheduled for February 24 in Barcelona, in the form of a video. The invite itself doesn't explicitly state anything apart from the event date, but if the invite tagline and the actual video are any indication, we are going to see some kind of gesture control implementation from the South Korean company in its smartphones. As per rumours, the company is likely to introduce its next flagship – the LG G8 – at MWC.

Shared by LG on LG G8 - will be sole phone to get the technology or the company will add the same to other devices in its lineup as well.
