For those unaware, Realme was set to launch a new youth-centric smartphone series in India tomorrow. Narzo 10 and Narzo 10A were going to tackle the budget segment with fresh designs and powerful specs. But, we already know that the phones will probably be refreshed versions ofRealme 6iand Realme C3 Indonesian variant respectively. It means we can expect to see the first-everHelio G80-powered phoneto arrive in India soon.

Realme follows behind the likes of Vivo, whorecently suspendedall of its new product launches to focus on relief efforts in the country. We are on total lockdown for another 21 days, so we will have to wait until mid-April to learn the new launch date for Narzo 10 and 10A. It will also be interesting to see whether Xiaomi goes ahead with itsMi 10 flagship launchon March 31 amid the lockdown.
