At the end of the month Barcelona will host its annualMWC exhibition, which this time will not include LG and ZTE. According to LG's press service, the company decided to play it safe and will therefore announce new smartphones a little later, at a separate event. When it will take place is still unknown.
Considering the safety of its employees, partners and customers, LG decided to refuse to participate in the MWC 2020 exhibition, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain.
With ZTE everything is a little more complicated.According to company representatives, employees faced problems with issuing visas, as well as canceled flights from China. In addition, ZTE wants to prevent outbreaks of xenophobia towards its employees.
[We are] a polite company and simply do not want to inconvenience other people.
Let us remind you that the Chinese manufacturer planned to announce the flagship ZTE Axon 10s Pro 5G at MWC. There is no information when the presentation of the device will now take place.
By the way, due to coronavirus, the exhibition organizersMWC (GSM Association) announced enhanced security measures. These include an enhanced cleaning program for booths, catering areas, handrails, as well as the availability of free disinfectants and medical assistance during events.
