At 6:00 PM on August 18th, the new Orange phones were officially released for sale.
The Orange C3 and Qingcheng D1S went on sale simultaneously across channels like the official Orange Mall website, Pinbei's "Ten Billion Subsidy" program, Taobao, Sunning, Gome, and Yixun.
Within the first hour, total online sales for the Qingcheng D1S exceeded 131,000 units, while the Orange C3 sold 52,000 units. Their market performance was not the least bit weaker than the Orange C2 and Orange D1—in fact, it was a great deal stronger.
