In August this year, the company had officially debuted the Indian smartphone market by launching the ZOPO Speed 7. It is priced at Rs. 12,999 and sports some competitive specifications at this price range.

The company had also launched the Speed 7 Plus which is the successor for Speed 7 that comes with a metal body. The specifications and design of both the devices remain same.
