The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 tech exhibition will be held between Feb. 24 and Feb. 27 in Barcelona, Spain. Many smartphone brands are expected to unleash new flagship phones at the upcoming MWC 2020 event. One of the first companies to confirm its presence at the MWC 2020 is Vivo. The Chinese manufacturer has confirmed that it will be holding its event at the tech trade show on Feb. 23.
The below poster reveals that the Vivo’s event will be held at 5:00 PM CET on Feb. 23 at Nautic Center, Barcelona. The poster has no information on the name of the device(s) that will be unveiled by Vivo at MWC 2020. The big V letter in the background seems to be a hint that it could be unveiling a V-series phone at the event.
Last year, Vivo had unleashed the Vivo APEX concept phone. The said phone was made official with some modifications in June 2018 as Vivo NEX. In January this year, the Chinese manufacturer had announced the Vivo APEX 2019 with all-glass unibody design. Apart from flagship specs, the APEX 2019 did neither featured any buttons nor it had any ports. The original APEX concept phone was never released in the market. Vivo did the same with APEX 2019 concept phone. The device was expected to release as a NEX series device.
The Vivo NEX 3 5G that had debuted as Vivo’s first 5G phone that had gone official in September sported a different front and rear design than the APEX 2019 concept phone. Since the Chinese didn’t release APEX 2019 inspired flagship smartphone with portless design this year, there is a possibility that the Chinese firm may launch a new premium flagship phone at MWC 2020 with a design similar to the APEX 2019.
The big V in the above shown poster suggests that there could be a V-series flagship phone. It remains to be seen whether Vivo announces a NEX-series or a V-series flagship phone. It could be arriving as the first 5G-ready Vivo phone for Europe.
It is too early to comment on what Vivo will be announcing at MWC 2020. There is a possibility that it may unleash a different technology at the event. Hence, it is advisable to wait for further reports to know more about Vivo’s offering at next year’s MWC.
