LeEco is getting into the habit of breaking one record after another in India. The company's Le 2 and Le Max 2 smartphones are the reason this time to help LeEco achieve a new milestone through its first flash sale in India. The Chinese internet conglomerate announced on Twitter on Tuesday that it sold 61,000 units of Le 2 and Le Max 2 smartphones on the first day, generating total sales revenue of Rs. 78 crore.
LeEco launched the Le 2 and Le Max 2 in India earlier this month and quickly attracted a lot of attention from fans all over the country. The affordable Le 2 smartphone is a disruptive device in the sub-Rs. 15,000 market, where consumers have variety of options including Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Lenovo ZUK Z1, Moto G4 Plus, YU Yunicorn and Meizu M3 Note. At an attractive price of Rs. 11,999, Le 2 gives a solid reason for buyers to upgrade to this phone.
Le Max 2, on the other hand, is a much premium device, which receives stiff competition from handsets like Xiaomi Mi 5 and OnePlus 3. The handset is priced at Rs. 22,999 for a base 4GB RAM + 32GB storage model and Rs. 29,000 for 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. The company did not reveal how many units of Le Max 2 were sold separately during the first sale, but it is likely to be lesser than that of the affordable Le 2 smartphone.
We are humbled to see yet another stupendous Flash Sale record in a row. The entire LeEco family is overwhelmed seeing the response from our users," LeEco India COO Atul Jain said.
