A quick search in our news archive reveals that last we heard, despite some financial troubles, the company had managed to procure a lucrative investment from property developer Sunac China Holdings and was seemingly doing well. Letv is one of the public brands used by what was originally the Le.com company, or rather its LeMobile subsidiary and is another name we are familiar with from its involvement in the smartphone market some years ago.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro leaked renders show massive, different camera island

Xiaomi has already made the Mi 11 official in December, and the phone has gone on sale today with great results.
