LeEco Flash sale: 70,000 Le 1s phones sold out in just 2 seconds ! Is it true?

As per LeEco India official Facebook page post LeEco sold 70,000 Le 1s phones in their first Flash sale on Flipkart on Feb 2nd, 2016. Many websites and news paper also reported the same news, it looks like an advertorial.

We still doubt the authenticity of this reports. Here is why we feel this is a false news.

As per the import data website zauba.com (see the screenshot below) LeEco has imported only 48,800 units to India till Feb 1st, 2016. So How can they sell 70,000 units on Feb 2nd Flash sale.

If LeEco India had imported 48,800 units then they won’t be able to sell all the unit in one single flash sale, as they need to keep some units for manufacturing defects replacement.

So what we feel is this advertorial news across the web look fake.

What do you feel on this fake news. Do you feel this news is true? Post your comment in the comments section below.
