Due to fears of a coronavirus outbreak, GSMA yesterday confirmed that this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) has been cancelled. Now that the event will no longer be held, there have been talks of some brands possibly running their own events during the original MWC 2020 week. It seems that this is what realme would be doing, except in a new location.

MWC is the world’s largest mobile trade show that usually attracts more than 10,000 attendees from 200 countries to Barcelona has just been officially canceled. The organization behind MWC, GSMA said it’s canceling MWC 2020 which scheduled to run between 24 to 27 February over coronavirus-related concerns.

With all the big companies pulling out from the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020, it remains a question whether the event would still be held. Today, we’ve also heard that the organiser GSMA is going to have a meeting this Friday to decide the fate of MWC 2020. However, there are still companies making confirmations of their appearances at the event through official announcements, and one of them is Huawei.

Mobile World Congress 2020 or MWC20 could get canceled due to the Wuhan novel coronavirus (now known as Covid-19) outbreak. While Xiaomi have indicated that they’ll be attending and realme teased a new phone reveal there, a number of other big names like Sony, vivo, Intel and MediaTek have all said that they’ll be pulling out from the show.

For the past weeks, there are already four exhibitors to withdraw or scale back from the Mobile World Congress due to the current coronavirus outbreak. Today, another large exhibitor, Samsung is reported to be scaling back to attend the wireless extravaganza due to many executives canceling their trips. 

If news of a potential realme smart TV and smartwatches weren't enough for you, how about a new flagship smartphone? Since it's the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2020) and realme has confirmed it will be doing a global launch, a new smartphone is definitely par for the course.
