Gionee sold out its newly launched F8 Neo within one hour of the special preview sale which was scheduled for October 18 on udaan. The next round of sale will go live soon on udaan, the company said in a statement.

The device is also loaded with other features such as Face Unlock, Slow Motion, Panorama, Night mode, Timelapse, Burst mode, QR code, Face Beauty and more. Be it selfies or group shots, Neo’s Beauty mode helps you look stunning in every photo you take. The Eye Comfort feature makes it easier to look at the screen or read in dim light and may help the users fall asleep more easily.

The latest research from Counterpoint’s Market Monitor service mentioned Bharat as home to more than 350 million feature phone users. As per the report, the country’s feature phone market has declined by a massive 6 per cent YOY in Q2 2020.

These numbers highlight the strong desire of Smart Bharat to upgrade to honestly priced smartphone. The most promising entry-level smartphone category is still vacant due to affordability and varied choices. To bridge Bharat’s Digital Divide, enhance the user experience for masses and empower the entry-level smartphone category, Gionee has partnered with udaan.

The company said that it will leverage the powerful distribution network of 1.5 to 2.0 Lakh mobile phone retailers on udaan to ensure that these super-smart devices reach every nook and corner of the country catering to the pent-up festive season demand. ■
