The operator will provide a total of 50 coupons worth Rs. 75 each that will be available upon recharging with Rs. 255 through the MyVodafone or MyIdea app.
As we mentioned, the smartphone is not manufactured or marketed by HTC, which downsized its operations in the Indian market back in July last year, and this launch instead represents brand licensee InOne Smart Technology’s first HTC branded phone in the country. As you’d probably remember, HTC sold its smartphone design division to Google, a deal that was completed earlier this year.
