Manufacturer and year of manufacture
It is generally accepted that all low-cost mobile devices are the brainchild of Chinese companies. But with “Fly” everything is a little different.
As such, a company with that name does not exist. Fly is the only brand under which the large English company Meridian Group, which has existed since 2002, produces mobile phones and tablets. The head office is located in London, and production facilities are dispersed throughout the world, including operating in Russia.
The company has released many decent phones for its class. And in 2016, she presented a novelty - the Fly FS407 Stratus 6 smartphone, the characteristics of which will be discussed later. And it’s worth starting with the appearance of the device.
