In India, the cases of coronavirus are increasing steadily 673 positive COVID-19 cases are registered across the nation. The government has also called off for the entire country lockdown for 21 days which is till April 14. It has been expected that the launch event of the Xiaomi Mi 10 will happen after April 14 only. However, there is no confirmation whether the lockdown will end on April 14 or it will extend further.

Currently, all the smartphone brands are focusing on their current product and kept all the new products in the pipeline. Already there are many big events like MWC 2020, GDC 2020, and others have faced cancellation because of this widespread virus. Let's see when everything will settle down and get back to the track.

The smartphone industry is already facing losses because of the China lockdown and now worldwide lockdown. The smartphone sales have been dropped drastically and it seems that all the brands are going to miss targets in the first quarter of 2020.
