The Chinese company Realme, planned to present its new flagship, the Realme x50 PRO with 5G, during the Mobile World Congress 2020 in Barcelona.
We expected February to be a month full of news and mass presentations but the main protagonist is being something other than technology. Logically we are talking about the Covid-19 coronavirus.
After the cancellation of the MWC by the organizers due to global concerns about the contagion of the coronavirus, Realme has also decided to cancel its appointment on February 24 in Barcelona.
In an official statement, the Chinese brand confirms that the presentation of the Realme x50 PRO 5G will be done through an online broadcast in Madrid. The new Realme flagship has caused a lot of expectation since, among other innovations, it will include a Qualcomm snapdragon 865 processor with 5G connectivity and thus will become its most powerful smartphone to date.
