LeEco unveiled the Le Pro 3 AI Edition on Tuesday. The new flagship device is not much different from last year’s Le Pro 3 save for the LeLe AI Assistant, dual rear cameras, and the processor.

Yesterday promotional images of the black Le Pro 3 AI Edition were posted on Weibo by CEO Jia Yueting. The phone actually looks pretty nice but we couldn’t help but notice that the wallpaper on it is the same as that of the OnePlus 3T. Yes, that molten lava picture is actually the default wallpaper for the Midnight Black OP3T.

Seeing the same image on the Le Pro 3 leaves us wondering if the OnePlus CEO didn’t see this gaffe. We can’t deny it, the wallpaper definitely looks good on a black phone but LeEco could have hired someone to make one specifically for them instead of “borrowing” from OnePlus.

Initial reception for the Le Pro 3 AI Edition has been lukewarm due to the use of a Mediatek processor but pre-order figures have been pretty high, reaching almost 5 million. The question however, is how many of the pre-orders turn into completed sales.

Le Pro 3 AI Edition Dual Cameras

The Le Pro 3 AI Edition has two 13MP dual cameras on the rear that work in the RGB + monochrome format. Combined with what LeEco calls LE IMAGE AI Engine, users should be able to take clearer and sharper images under low light conditions. The camera app has also got a number of upgraded features. The cameras sit in a single housing along with the dual LED flash giving it a sort of smiley face akin to a Japanese forest spirit.

LeLe AI Assistant

LeEco’s AI assistant is called LeLe. While it may not sound fancy like Siri or Alexa, it does have some very interesting features. LeLe can be activated when the screen is off and will allow you carry out a number of functions by voice alone. It is integrated with all LeECo apps and also works with a number of third party applications too. If you are shopping, LeLe is smart enough to bring up payment options like AliPay. The interesting thing about LeLe is that it learns over time and gets better at what it does.

Le Pro 3 AI Edition Price

The base version of the Le Pro 3 AI Edition is priced at ¥1799 (~$260) while the Helio X27 model sells for ¥2399 ($350). Pre-orders begin at 1400hrs today before going on sale at 1000hrs on the 14th of April. The Le Pro 3 AI Edition is available in gold, rose gold, and black.
