Lenovo officially unveiled its new smartphone the Z5 on June 5 with the company clamoring it as a product that Apple had not made. Well, Apple certainly didn’t lie to potentially millions of buyers but that didn’t stop the company from making sure that the Z5 would eventually go on to become a huge success. The device managed to sell out in just 15 minutes. While it certainly does not measure up to the success of the Mi 8, which sold out in mere 37 seconds, but which other Lenovo devices have you heard of that sold this fast?
To recap, the 6GB + 64GB variant retails for just 1299 Yuan (203 USD), while the 6GB + 128GB model costs 1799 Yuan (281 USD). The teaser campaign was very misleading and the final product didn’t live up to the claims made by Lenovo. However, it didn’t matter to customers as the phone started retailing at 10 o’clock today in China and it was gone in 15 minutes. It became the best-selling phone of the day on JD.com, which is China’s largest online retailer. Lenovo Z5 surpassed Xiaomi’s Mi 8, Honor Play, and Apple iPhone X.
