So, here’s our first impression about this shift from hardware to content as a main focus.
Why Content matters:
On the go content is already the next big thing for youth in India who loves exploring more. Content is always the king, and LeEco as a brand understands it well and before other established brands started to take a note of it.
With LeEco 1s Eco providing #Supertainment, it will bring a paradigm shift to how we consume content all in one place at one price. Consumers get a better option to manage all the subscriptions for Music, Movie and TV at a single investment and additionally get the streaming experience on the go, anywhere and anytime.
Free content has positioned the mobile to replace the TV in the same way it did with the point-n-shoot camera. On the go content is way better than hustling on web or satellite box for content.
