Lenovo follows Samsung, to skip MWC

New Delhi AFTER Samsung, consumer electronics major Lenovo has announced not to attend the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in-person in Barcelona this year.

A Lenovo spokesperson told The Verge on Tuesday that the company will attend virtually instead of in person and has informed the GSM Association, the organiser of MWC.

The in-person event is still scheduled to happen in June, despite the ongoing pandemic that has devastated several countries like India and Brazil in the second wave.

Several big tech companies like Google, Nokia, Ericsson, Sony and Oracle have already decided not to attend the event in person.
