LeEco Plans ‘Official Launch’ in US at Oct. 19 Event in San Francisco

Chinese consumer tech and content giant LeEco plans its “official launch” in the U.S. at an Oct. 19 event in San Francisco, the company said Friday. LeEco is “the global tech company whose super phones, TVs and bikes have been beating out the world’s top brands -- but we have a lot more than just screens planned,” the company said. LeEco CEO Jia Yueting sees his company “comprehensively landing in the United States,” he told a July news conference where it was announced that LeEco would buy Vizio for $2 billion (see 1607260066).
