Samsung, following Ericsson, LG and NVIDIA, has decided to reconsider its plans for its presence at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2020, which starts at the end of the month in Barcelona.
Like some other tech brands, the South Korean company has decided, due to the outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, to reduce the number of specialists that will be sent to Barcelona to participate in the exhibition.
The company is still going to take part in the event with the installation of a stand, but its plans may change depending on the development of the event. Many employees at the company's headquarters in the US and South Korea intend to cancel trips to Europe, the sources said. There was also evidence of a suspension of preparations for important deals between high-ranking company representatives, which are usually concluded behind closed doors at MWC.
Samsung used to showcase its flagship smartphones during MWC in Barcelona, but in recent years it has moved the presentation of Galaxy S series devices to its Unpacked event, which takes place in the US a couple of weeks before the start of the exhibition in Barcelona. The company is expected to announce the series of smartphones at an event in San Francisco on February 11. as well as smartphone and wireless headphones .
