Letv is experiencing very strong demand for all of its new smartphones models. After only ten days since the launch announcement, the company's LeMall online retail market received reservations for more than ten million Le Super Phone smartphones. All of Letv's smartphones are expected to be made available outside of China soon, including the United States and India. India presents exciting business opportunities to Le Super Phone business. Jia Yueting, Chairman of Letv, once said, "We value our capital investment in the Indian market." Xin Feng, President of Le Mobile Company, said that Le Super Phone will be available for sale in India by the end of this year. While Letv actively builds an integrated industry ecosystem, the global business development is also accelerating.
Letv's stamp of quality has set a new standard not only for users' experience but also to the ultra-high price-performance ratio. Letv used a unique "crowd-sourcing" model, gathering input from more than 3 million people to set the price-point of the Le Max smartphone, an industry first. Additionally, Letv's ecosystem-based model has driven down the market smartphone price point from USD$300 to USD$250. These highly competitive prices are largely made possible by Letv's vertically integrated ecosystem, which offers Le Super Phone users affordable membership subscription to the massive library of content. By breaking down the boundaries of applications and systems, Letv provides a better way to get the most out of mobile devices with a fully integrated and connected experience across Letv's content, services and products from numerous smart devices provided by Letv.

-- Le 1, Le 1 Pro and Le Max: Each smartphone features full-floating
bezel-free industrial design, super-narrow display edges, flippable
Type-C connection ports, layer-build batteries, third-generation Corning
Gorilla glass, SMART PA+SPK smart loud-speaker system, auto-adaptive
Dolby and DTS audio effects and support of both China Mobile and China
Unicom 4G networks.
-- Le Max: The smartphone is equipped with a 21-mega pixel Sony camera, and
fingerprint identification. Additionally, Le Max uses a customized 2K
Sharp screen, which performs better than 99 percent of existing high-end
phones on the market, offering consumers a broad viewing angle.
