Letv Le Max launching in India on January 20, Le 1s also expected


Letv India launch invite

At its preview event in Bangalore last month, Letv confirmed that the Le Max smartphone will launch in the country sometime mid-January 2016. Today it has sent out press invites for the launch event on January 20th. Even though the teaser just shows one smartphone, another teaser (image below) from their official Facebook page shows a smaller smartphone next to the large phone, so we can expect the latest Le 1s smartphone to launch in India, along with Le Max.
