Mobile World Congress is undoubtebly one of the premiere places to see smartphones, but how about 3,500 smartphones fashioned to metal rods to create a 19-foot tall mythical winged horse? Well, that’s exactly what you’ll find guarding this year’s MWC thanks to Huawei and London’s Machine Shop.

This stunning sculpture took 720 man-hours to make and stands nearly 19 feet tall with a 16-foot wingspan. Clearly a bold statement by Huawei who also made the bold statement of having the world’s fastest smartphone with the introduction of the Ascend D quad. We’re not sure if the phone will have the mythical powers that Huawei is claiming but their statue certainly does. Just another example of the amazing things you’ll see at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
