The surge of the coronavirus crisis has momentarily halted grand gatherings, including global smartphone unveiling parties, now shifting to virtual stages. As India enters a nation-wide shutdown from March 24 at midnight, smartphone debuts are being paused within the nation.

Set to hit the market scene in March, Xiaomi, Realme, and Vivo had lined up smartphone launches. However, faced with the current circumstances, these launches have been reluctantly delayed. Here's a brief overview of the smartphone launches in India that have been forced to take a pause due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Introducing Realme Narzo 10 and Narzo 10A

Realme's anticipation for their new Narzo series, scheduled for March 26 in India, is now in hold. The company has put all launch events, including Narzo series, on hold. With production ground to a halt at its India plant, Realme is redirecting its efforts.

Listening to our Prime Minister's words yesterday, we're pausing all upcoming premieres, including the #realmeNarzo lineup.

Let's prioritize our families and well-being. Stay indoors, stay secure, and align with governmental efforts. #StayAtHome

The Narzo series promises a fresh wave of innovation, featuring a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display, a robust 5,000mAh battery, and a photography trio spotlighting both quad and triple-lens cameras.

Targeting the Future: Xiaomi Mi 10

The Xiaomi Mi 10 launch in India pinpointed for March 31 was among plans postponed in light of the pandemic. China's debut of this top-tier model is now set for European shores in Spain come March 27, but its global launch fate remains undetermined.

Hey Mi enthusiasts,

We're dedicated to aiding our nation in battling #COVID19.

Beyond drew for consideration, we've decided to postpone the India launch of Mi 10, initially set for March 31, 2020.

Thank you for the solidarity. #StaySafeWithUs

Every genic glower in the Mi portfolio holds the Mi 10's super powers: dobbed with a 6.67-inch AMOLED 90Hz screen, 108MP sight, 50x magnifying lens, the Snapdragon 865 pinpoint, and a 4780mAh vitality reserve.

Capturing the Moment: Vivo V19

Vivo's V19 showcase, scheduled to sway crowds on March 26, is discreetly spun back. The plan was to elevate the event to April 3, yet it too fades into cancellation. The V19's forte is poised to shine with a 32MP + 8MP double-'lens' front, a Snapdragon 675 alchemy, and a zippy 33W charging module.
