Xiaomi decides to skip Mobile World Congress 2017

Jan 26, 2017

Xiaomi will skip Mobile World Congress 2017, a spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch.

Another setback made Xiaomi. If we take into account the consequences of the resignation of Hugo Barra decision to refuse participation in Mobile World Congress 2017 does not seem to be a wise decision. Instead, they had to participate and quickly regain lost ground. The battle is extremely tough tech market. They know this detail. Any mistake adds to plug brand.

Even if this event occurs in Europe he is watched by everyone. It was an opportunity to regain the trust of fans in Europe and US. These decisions uninspired Xiaomi can defer entry into the US a few years.
