It seems that this year the Mobile World Congress is going to be a little scruffy for the lack of Samsung, since it announced that it would not announce its new Galaxy S8 by delaying its launch until March and supposedly reaching the market in April. And the bad thing is not that it is only Samsung, but that Xiaomi also seems to pass the MWC olympically.
Xiaomi from China will avoid attending the event, according to a company spokesperson. This new movement cannot be understood, since Xiaomi was supposed to attend the MWC, although possibly the news of Hugo Barra's departure will have something to do with it, since it was the same one who took the stage last year to present the Xiaomi. Mi 5, something that was originally going to happen with the Xiaomi Mi 6.

Hugo Barra announced his departure on Monday after spending 3 and a half years in the company to finally end up as jOculus VR effe on Facebook. Possibly be one of the reasons not provided by XiaomiSo there may be more behind the scenes than what was first presented to us. Something logical on the other hand so as not to get hurt between the different parts of a dissociation.
