ZOPO, a fast-growing Chinese smartphone brand partners with India’s leading AI startup Niki.ai to launch its upcoming smartphone, the ZOPO Speed X. Late last month, ZOPO teased the launch of Speed X smartphone in India, and today, the company has officially announced the product. Sadly, ZOPO did not announce the price and availability of the product.

ZOPO entered the Indian smartphone market in 2015, and it has been a year since ZOPO launched its flagship phone- the ZOPO Speed 8. And the Speed X succeeds the last year’ Speed 8. ZOPO says that the partnership with Niki.ai will “provide a great amount of boost to the Speed X launch, making it all the more successful. Niki is an innovative platform which will provide a lot of value and convenience to all the ZOPO customers.”
Niki.ai is an artificial intelligence (AI) based chatbot will help ZOPO smartphone users with all their e-commerce related activities. Niki’s app and the widget would be available on ZOPO’s Speed X providing easy purchase options to its customers with 20+ e-commerce services across travel, entertainment & daily utilities. They will simply have to chat with Niki to pay bills, book cabs, buses, hotels, movie tickets and a lot more, just within seconds.

The ZOPO Speed X is touted as a flagship smartphone but doesn’t feature flagship features though. The Speed X is the company’s first smartphone to feature dual cameras. The handset has a 13MP and a 2MP camera at the back. The former is used to capture standard shots, while the latter is used to add bokeh effect to the images. This setup is similar to the one seen on Huawei Honor 6X.
ZOPO is also offering a 365-day replacement warranty for the ZOPO Speed X. The smartphone also has a 13MP front-facing camera along with a soft-LED flash.
