News & Reviews:   MWC 2020

After the cancellation of MWC 2020 last year, this year’s MWC 2021 began with a number of innovations including being virtual and utilizing technology to implement COVID 19 safety measures. Despite this, we were able to easily and virtually attend all the keynotes and events accordingly following the MWC 2021 theme of Connected Impact. 

realme has missed the opportunity to launch their new product line which is TV due to the cancellation of the MWC 2020. However, there were still rumours saying that the company will proceed with the launch in India this year despite the pandemic. Before that happens, we have spotted two TV models from realme on the Bluetooth SIG certification listing, revealing another range of TVs that are going to be launched in the near future.

Earlier, we have seen the first render of OPPO’s upcoming smartwatch, which was expected to launch alongside the Find X2 at MWC 2020. However, the event has been cancelled due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and we can only wait until March now. To hype things up again, a new render of OPPO smartwatch surfaced on the Internet and it has a different colour finish this time.

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.

It wasn't that long ago that the Mobile World Congress 2020 was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. Annually held in Barcelona, Spain, it's the world's largest mobile showcase event and there are reports that some smartphone brands will be rescheduling their events. This includes OPPO and Xiaomi, perhaps even Huawei as well.

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.

If you’ve been following the news of this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC), you must’ve known a lot of companies are pulling themselves out in a concern of health and safety issues. The virus outbreak not only has affected thousands of people, but it has also taken away many lives as well. Therefore, many companies think that skipping the MWC 2020 would be a wise choice, including vivo, Intel, Mediatek, TCL and more.

The coronavirus has spread from land to land and almost every country has started to take precautions against it. From banning China travellers entering the country to cancelling events, these are the things that are currently happening to ensure people’s health and safety. Although the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 has not been cancelled, there are still few exhibitors who announced that they will not be joining this year. Today, Sony becomes the fifth exhibitor to pull out from the event, in concern of the virus outbreak as well.

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.
