Professionals prefer high-end and luxury mobile phones with unique and fashionable designs and features, which creates a fast growing and profitable market. The VEVA luxury brand is a great innovation by CECT. We are very pleased that CECT achieved another success with the release of VEVA S60, which will bring us sustainable competitiveness in a market segment with less domestic competition. We are very proud that CECT has differentiated itself from the domestic players who are mostly competing in the low-end market.
