Realme has canceled its upcoming product launch event scheduled for May 4, wherein it was expected to launch Realme X7 Max, a flagship smartphone equipped with Dimensity 1200 chipset. The decision comes in the wake of the current coronavirus situation in India which has resulted in inflaming rise of COVID-19 cases in the country.

Madhav Sheth, Realme India CEO, shared the decision through Twitter along with urging everyone to follow COVID-19 safety protocols. 

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.
Stay home, Stay strong! We will be back soon.
