We know LeEco is preparing something powerful for launch in September, and from the rumors, the specs are going to be top-notch. We have heard that LeEco could be the first Chinese smartphone maker to debut the Snapdragon 821 chipset which was announced by Qualcomm a couple of months back. Now, a new benchmark result of a smartphone called Le Pro 3 has surfaced on AnTuTu and the scores posted by this model are just amazing.

The Le Pro 3 scores over 163K points on the AnTuTu benchmark, 163546 to be exact, making it much more powerful than any other smartphone that we have seen lately. This score is made possible thanks to the power packed specs which include Snapdragon 821 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Even the camera specs were revealed, a 16MP shooter at the back and an 8MP shooter up front. Clearly, one of the best specs we have seen on a phone. 

LeEco has always surprised us with powerful phones which are priced aggressively, so even this particular model, the Le Pro 3 could feature a decent price. The name used for this model is a bit confusing as earlier rumors have revealed the phone to be called as the Le 2S Pro. So, we will have to wait and see what’s the final name of the device once released by the company in September.

So, what do you think? With these specs on board, how much would you be willing to pay for this device?

LeEco has managed to take on competitors with aggressively priced Le 2 mid-range smartphone. However, there’s another slightly powerful model in the company’s Le lineup that was announced in April, namely the Le 2 Pro. This particular model comes with an even faster processor, the Helio X25 @ 2.5GHz at a very cheap price tag. Considering the same chip powers flagships such as the Meizu Pro 6 which costs a lot more, the Le 2 Pro with its powerful specifications is definitely worth checking out.

Now, the Le 2 Pro model with Helio X25 on board is available on OPPOMART for $249. The one listed as default is the Helio X20 powered model, so make sure you select Helio X25 powered model from the drop down menu.

As for the other specs of the Le 2 Pro, it comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. At the back, you get a powerful 21MP Sony IMX230 sensor while up front, there’s an 8MP shooter. The display remains the same, a 5.5-inch panel with 1080p resolution. Other features include USB TYpe-C, VoLTE and 3000mAh battery.

Remember that there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack on board, so be ready to use USB Type-C headphones on the device.

LeEco unveiled three new smartphones in April, namely Le 2, Le 2 Pro and Le Max 2. All three phones offered best bang for your buck, which meant that everyone is patiently waiting for the phones to be available in the international markets. Now, LeEco (formerly known as LeTV) has started sending out media invites for an event on June 8 and it is safe to assume that it should be for the India launch of the three new smartphones from the company. While the invite doesn’t say anything about the launch of these three models, the timing is ideal for the new phones to be launched in the market.

LeEco phones are extremely popular in China as well as India, selling out within minutes. In the first sale of the three phones, over a million units were sold out within a matter of two hours in China. That’s pretty impressive! Now, it looks like the company is all set to unveil these three power phones in India and expect a pretty good response for them in the country.

To recap, all these three phones ditch the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack and instead uses a CDLA standard that works with the phone’s USB Type-C slot. Why this change you ask? Well, LeEco believes USB Type-C powered headphones are the future, and it wants to be the first one to make the jump. And guess what, iPhone 7 is rumored to ditch the standard slot as well!

Specs wise, the Le Max 2 stands on top of the lineup, featuring the mighty Snapdragon 820 quad-core chip with 4GB / 6GB RAM options and 32GB / 64GB storage variants. There will be a 5.7-inch QHD display on board with a 21MP rear camera and 8MP front shooter. You can read more about the specs of the three devices from our launch coverage.

We are not quite sure whether we’ll see all the three smartphones and their versions launched in India, but let’s wait for more details.

As announced at the launch, 1 Million units of 3 superphones from LeEco, Le2, Le2 Pro and Le Max 2 went on 1st sale today, priced at 1099, 1499, 2099/2499 CNY respectively. All these 3 devices are the first ones to ditch the 3.5mm analogue audio jack.

And guess what, a million units of these three devices were sold out today in just a matter of 2 hours! That’s a new record for the fastest sale of 1 million smartphone units. The Le Max 2 flagship was reportedly sold out in just 57 seconds!

The Le 2 comes with Helio X20 processor, 3GB memory +32GB storage, 5.5-inch screen, 16MP rear camera and 8 MP front camera. The device comes with a full metal body and supports full Netcom connectivity. It supports dual sim and VoLTE along with LeEco’s CDLA lossless digital audio technology and has a super snappy fingerprint sensor at the back.

Le 2 Pro, however, has four major upgrades compared to Le 2. It comes with a new bezel-less 3.0 design, equipped with a more powerful MediaTek Helio X25 processor, a  Sony IMX230 21MP rear camera, 4GB of RAM and inbuilt 32GB storage.

Le Max 2 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 6GB RAM, 64GB body storage, QC3.0 + PD fast charge technology.

It’s been exactly one year since the Chinese media giant LeEco (formerly known as LeTV) entered the smartphone market. But during this time, the company has managed to get the attention of millions of fans, both in China and worldwide, thanks to its revolutionary smartphones. Last year, the company entered the industry with three great devices in the Le 1 series. Now, it’s time for a new generation of products, namely the Le 2 series. And guess what, once again, LeEco has surprised us all by announcing three powerful smartphones in the new Le lineup, namely the Le 2, Le 2 Pro and the flagship Le Max 2. Want to know more about these products? Read on!

First of all, looks wise, these three phones look identical. They come with a metal body and a fingerprint sensor at the back. So, no real surprises here. However, the company is using its borderless ID 3.0 design which makes these three phones look like they feature a bezel-less display.

Another important selling point for these three models is the absence of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Apparently, LeEco believes this is the direction to go, with USB Type-C and their own CDLA (continuous digital lossless audio) standard reportedly delivering better audio output than a traditional headphone jack.

Rest of the specs are a bit different on each of the device, so here are all the details.

Le 2

Le 2 will be the least powerful smartphone in the series and will be the direct successor to the Le 1S model that was announced in the second half of last year. The phone comes with much better hardware and looks than the previous generation making it a true successor.

The phone comes with the Helio X20 chipset under the hood, that powers some mid-range flagships in the market. This is actually a pretty good upgrade from last year’s Le 1S which featured Helio X10. There will be 3GB of RAM on board and 32GB of internal storage. This will be eMMC 5.1 storage standard. With these specs on board, LeEco claims that the phone manages to score a good 97,336 point on AnTuTu, which is pretty impressive.

As for the display, the phone comes with a 5.5 in-cell display 1080p display. The brightness of the screen can reportedly go up to 500 nits and come down to as low as 1 nit. As for the camera, you get a 16MP sensor at the back, with PDAF and f/2.0 aperture. The setup can reportedly focus in just 0.09 seconds. This is good upgrade from the 13MP sensor on the Le 1S. The front camera is also better, now featuring an 8MP sensor. Other features of the phone include a 3000mAh battery with fast charge, EUI with Android 6.0, VOLTE and 4G LTE support.

Le 2 Pro

Le 2 Pro is a slightly upgraded version of the Le 2, featuring the new Helio X25 chipset clocked at 2.5GHz. Yes, it’s really surprising to see this inside the new LeEco device since Meizu had said that it would be exclusive to the Pro 6 for a few months. The phone features 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC 5.1 storage that helps it reach 103,322 on the AnTuTu benchmark. At the back, you get a powerful 21MP Sony IMX230 sensor while up front, there’s the same 8MP shooter. The display remains the same, a 5.5-inch panel with 1080p resolution. Other features include USB TYpe-C, VoLTE and 3000mAh battery.

Le Max 2

Moving to the pick of the announcements today, the Le Max 2 is a real powerhouse featuring the Snapdragon 820 chipset clocked at 2.15GHz. What’s more, you get a massive 6GB RAM module inside with 64GB of UFS 2.0 storage. That’s some pretty powerful stuff. The display is larger, measuring 5.7-inches with 2K resolution. This makes it quite ready for VR headsets. With these specs on board, it’s not surprising that the phone managed to score 143,408 on AnTuTu. At the back, the phone comes with a 21MP camera with OIS, 6P lens and f/2.0 aperture. Up front, you get the same 8MP shooter. The Le Max 2 also features the new Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm. Other features include dual band Wi-F0, VoLTE, full network support (works in over 200 countries) and 3100mAh battery with QC 3.0.

Pricing is yet to be revealed, but we will update the article with more details soon.

We have already seen a couple of benchmarks of the Le Max Pro (x910) and they easily crossed the 130K mark on the AnTuTu app. But looks like there are going to be even faster smartphones in the market, as earlier today, we saw a new LeEco smartphone code-named Le X820 which broke all records by scoring more than 141K on AnTuTu.

To be precise, the Le X820 scored 141,457 on AnTuTu which is the best score from a smartphone that we have seen till date on the benchmarking app. While you may think that the score is just too good to be true, LeEco CEO Jia Yueting has just forwarded this score asking his fans to guess the Le smartphone. This means that the score posted by Le x820 could indeed be real.

Now, judging from the model number, this seems to be the next generation model of the Le One Pro flagship released last year. One Pro had the model number X800, so the Le X820 should most likely be its successor. It could be called as the Le 2 Pro, i.e. if the company follows the traditional naming scheme.

Another interesting thing revealed about the Le 2 Pro is that it could feature dual curved screen design. AnTuTu revealed a render of the phone which was further forwarded by the LeEco (LeTV) smartphone weibo account. If this turns out to be true, then we may see a bezelless smartphone from the company.

LeEco has an official event scheduled on February 22, i.e. on the first day of MWC 2016. However, we don’t expect to see a new model release next week since its most likely going to be for the international launch of the Le Max Pro. The company has strategically scheduled the event a couple of days before the Xiaomi Mi 5 with Snapdragon 820 launches in the market. LeEco may even make the Le Max Pro available for sale soon after Feb 22, but we can’t be sure of that at the moment.

Anyways, today’s leak confirms that LeEco has some great products in the pipeline which we hope to meet soon enough. Stay tuned to the gizmochina for more updates in the coming days.
