Internet technology giant LeEco has broken all sale records by achieving a record high of 605,000 registrations on February 2nd at 1200 hours on Flipkart.

Making it the biggest benchmark created by any mobile brand in India, LeEco broke three incredible records. The largest number of phones sold out in a single flash sale, the shortest ever time for sale of such a large number of phones, and the highest pre-sale registration number.

LeEco's launch was much awaited by many in the country and even credited by media as "LeEco Phenomenon" thanks to the company's constant innovations and market disruptive policies.

The company officially entered India on January 20th by holding one of the largest launch events in the country attended by over 1,000 guests, including high profile industry top honchos and media.

"I am so proud of our achievement and the magic number of 70,000 in just two seconds, which has never before been achieved by any other smartphone brand. I am so grateful for the trust consumers have vested in us and I am sure they will have a great experience in using our products," commented Atul Jain, COO, Smart Electronics Business, LeEco India on the phenomenal response that the phone has received.

Echoing a similar sentiment, Ankit Nagori, Chief Business Officer at Flipkart said, "I am amazed by the numbers. This sales figure is a new milestone and sets a benchmark for all other brands in the industry. For a new entrant like LeEco this is really a commendable achievement."

Available at a price range of Rs. 10,999, Le 1s has a metal uni-body, a world's first mirror-surface finger scanner, and a 5.5" FHD display, the flagship processor of the year Helio X10 Turbo, 3GB Ram and 32 GB Storage, dual-SIM card slots, 4G LTE support, and USB Type-C port. On the camera front, there is a 13-megapixel f/2.0 rear camera, and 5-megapixel wide angle selfie camera.
