Top European mobile player Fly is aiming to capture a larger slice of the smartphone market with its latest range of exciting, innovative devices – including the competitively priced Fly Dune 4 quad-core smartphone.

Fly’s new line-up of handsets for the second quarter of 2015 includes five cutting-edge smartphones and a new feature phone, all blending stylish design with the latest technology to provide a truly memorable user experience. The new product range will be available across the GCC in partnership with Dubai-based Eurostar Group, and in Africa and Turkey.

“Fly has seen amazing success since entering the Middle East, Africa, and Turkey last year by constantly improving on innovation and quality, exceeding customer expectations and delivering consumer choice,” said Nitin Sood, Managing Director, Fly MEA. “Our new range of smartphones will continue this trend by offering devices that fulfil different customer needs and meet all price points, all designed with best-in-class technology.”

Leading the new range is the Dune 4, which comes with a wear-resistant sleek finish and a stylish brush-line matte coating on the back, as well as a 5-inch FWVGA IPS display with full lamination. The Dune 4 features 8MP autofocus rear and 2MP front camera, and runs on Android 4.4. Other phones in the range include the Fly Intruder X, which is equipped with protective dragon tail glass for wear resistance and comes with a true 13MP autofocus rear camera and a true 5MP large aperture front camera – Fly’s best camera yet.

“We’re not resting on our laurels at Fly, and our latest range demonstrates our unwavering commitment to offering customers fashionable devices packed with functionality,” said Abdul Jabbar Shahnawaz, Vice President, Marketing, Fly MEA. “This new line-up is a testament to that belief, and to our quest to bring style, performance and advanced technology to our dedicated customer base.”

The Fly Epic Note, the latest addition to Fly’s phablet family, boasts a 5.5-inch qHD display, and the quad-core smartphone supports dual SIM technology and runs on 3G networks. The new range also includes the Fly Runner feature phone, which comes equipped with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen and a 1.3MP camera with flashlight, as well as a 2800mAh battery with power bank function, for longer battery life.

In addition to offering a wide range of stylish yet powerful devices, Fly also provides a reliable and scalable after-sales service, with an on-the-ground customer service team across the region.

This commitment and determination has helped the brand achieve international success, with its astounding performance in the GCC market following the company’s significant achievements in Russia, where Fly is consistently one of the leading brands, and its position as a top performer in many other European markets.
