The smartphone was especially popular among teenagers and those in their 40s and 50s, the company said.
The 5-inch smartphone comes with a 2,200 milliampere-hour removable battery along with 2-megapixel and 8-megapixel cameras. It runs on Android Lollipop 5.1 and comes in two colors of black and white.
