The coronavirus outbreak is causing more and more trouble with every next day. Today, Manu Kumar Jain, the Managing Director of Xiaomi India revealed the company is canceling its Redmi launch event that was scheduled for March 12. Instead, it will host an online-only launch that will be truly “Note-worthy”.

There will be a stream available on the company social media handles and at the mi.com website. Despite planning this event for months, Jain revealed the decision is to reduce exposure risk of Covid-19 to Mi fans, media representatives and Xiaomi employees. There will be future updates regarding any other events about incoming phones.
Redmi might be World’s First company to cancel its event in India due to coronavirus, but we contacted their competitor Realme regarding the March 5 launch of Realme 6 lineup. There isn’t anything official to report yet, but company representatives told us plenty of journalists canceled their trip to the event.

Samsung flagships will only get 2 major updates. It's been a known fact for long. Maybe you shouldn't have spent your money one Note 8 If you expected get 3 or more years of software update. (and Note 7 was a bomb so....)
