SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/11/15 -- In the latest flash sale held on its official e-commerce site LeMall.com, Letv's Le Superphones (Le 1, Le 1 Pro and Le Max) recorded their one millionth sale in China earlier today, setting a new benchmark for the new smartphone category. 20,000 Le Max sold out within 21 seconds, while 50,000 Le 1 accomplished the same feat in 53 seconds. By breaking the 1,000,000 sales mark in just three months' time, the Le Superphones have become the fastest-growing mobile brand in China, easily outpacing its competitors in the new smartphone category. Over the past three months, Letv leveraged both online and offline touchpoints to great success, with crazed fans all over China lining up for hours in advance for the opportunity to snag a Le Superphone.

Vice President and General Manager of Letv's International Mobile Business, JD Howard, believes the best is yet to come. "Obviously, we're beyond thrilled to have enjoyed such tremendous success, but the numbers only tell half the story. We think there's a growing appetite among consumers for a new kind of smartphone experience, one in which incremental hardware enhancements take a backseat to premium content and distinctive features like our Ecosystem User Interface."
