Chinese internet conglomerate LeEco on Tuesday said it has sold over 10 million units in China and has become the first brand in the industry to hit the 10-million landmark in a year.

"This is an important milestone for the direction of the mobile industry, it represents the shift from the smartphone era into the ecosystem phone era," said LeMobile's senior vice president Feng Xing, according to a statement.

Starting selling its device since May 19 last year, the company hit the four million mark in eight months and the five million mark in January.

The phones have replaced 3.5mm earphone jack with USB Type-C port backed by Continual Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) standard. LeEco also released its latest EUI 5.8 OS which has nine-camera live video streaming.

The company claimed it sold 500,000 units within just 100 days in India.
