Chinese smartphone maker Realme has once again delayed the launch of its upcoming Narzo 10 series. The smartphone series was initially scheduled to be launched on March 26 but the event was postponed as a lockdown was announcement by the government.

However, the ministry later clarified that sale of non-essential items will not be allowed, leaving Realme with no other option but to postpone the launch again. The series comprises of two smartphones – Narzo 10 and Narzo 10A. 

The official Realme Mobiles Twitter handle has shared that the launch of Realme Narzo 10 series has been ‘postponed until further notice'. There is no word regarding a new launch date as of now. Hopefully, there will be more clarity around the launch once the government allows e-commerce platforms to resume the sale of smartphones and other non-essential items.

“In alignment with the recent order shared by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India on the prohibition of the supply of non-essential goods by e-Commerce companies, Realme has decided to postpone the online sales of its smartphones and the launch of its Narzo series until further notice. Thanks for all your support as always,” the smartphone maker said in a statement on Monday.
