Samsung’s decision to announce the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Fold several weeks before what should have been this year’s pre-MWC press events day turned out to be a success for the company. Not only did the two handsets get plenty of attention from the press, but the trade show was canceled because of coronavirus worries. All of the other smartphone announcements that were scheduled for the event had to be delayed.
As the novel coronavirus health crisis evolved, several other significant events were canceled, including Microsoft Build, Google I/O, and WWDC. Microsoft and Apple went forward with new formats, while Google scrapped its developer event. Other product announcements will have to be made online in the coming months, and Samsung’s upcoming flagships might be on that list. A new report out of Korea says that the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 will be unveiled at an online press conference later this summer.
