Yes, you read it right.

Realme and Redmi India has canceled their launch events due to Coronavirus.

Two launches were happening in March from these Indian smartphone giants.

It is said to be hosted by CEO Madhav Seth himself.

The on-ground activities which were supposed to take place on March 5th have entirely shut down.

We’d like to clarify that the upcoming#RedmiNotelaunch will be live streamed.

We urge you to stay safe!

Since the off-ground activities are entirely down, Redmi has also opted for an online event.

They issued the official statement on Twitter as well.

As an official statement, Redmi India wrote:

We wont be holding any launch events on-ground through March.

Reports of community spread are coming in from various parts of the world.

The cause of this seems to be the rise of cases in Coronavirus, obviously.

Realme and Redmi made a wise decision not to include the media, fans, or other people.

But as planned, the gear launches wont effect since they will move to the online streaming platforms.
