Realme postpones third anniversary celebration event, X7 Max 5G, 4K TV to now arrive later
India Today
Realme was going to launch the X7 Max 5G and a new 4K smart TV at the May 4 event that now stands cancelled.
Realme has announced it will postpone the celebrations of its third anniversary in India due to the surge in Covid-19 cases. The May 4 event, which Realme India and Europe head Madhav Sheth confirmed in a YouTube video, will not take place as planned. Realme had planned to launch the first MediaTek Dimensity 1200-powered phone -- possibly the Realme X7 Max, and a 4K smart TV, among other things at the now-postponed event. For now, there is no information on the next date for the Realme event. In a post on Twitter, Realme’s Sheth wrote, “After careful consideration, #realme has decided to postpone the upcoming smartphone and AIoT products' launch along with anniversary celebrations. In these difficult times, let’s focus on contributing as much as possible.” Sheth, however, ended the note with positivity, urging fans to “focus on themselves and their families” and that Realme “will be back soon.” With over 3 lakh cases emerging by the day, the Covid-19 crisis in India has deepened beyond control, facilitated by the acute shortage of medical supplies and life-saving drugs. Several parts of India are under lockdown, with only essential items allowed for delivery. Since the government has not listed smartphones as an essential, Amazon and Flipkart, among other online shopping platforms, have restricted delivery in places such as Delhi and Mumbai. Although most places, where there is no lockdown, are still serviceable, tech companies are refraining from going ahead with launch plans. Realme is among the first companies to cancel an event for the first time this year amid surging cases.
