LeEco’s latest Le Pro 3 flagship is yet to hit the market but is already proving to be a popular one among fans as the Chinese tech company has hinted that online reservations for the smartphone has exceeded 3.57 million in just 24 hours after it started accepting reservations for the device.

It is not certain, though, that when the actual sales of the device begins all 3.57 million persons will end up buying, but it shows the level of interest in the cheaply priced flagship smartphone. For those that are unaware, smartphones are sold in China via flash sales which are usually preceded by reservations or expression of interests in the device. Thereafter the phones are sold by intermittent flash sales. In this case, the Le Pro 3 will go on flash sales on September 28th by 10 am in China and just 500,000 units will be up for grabs for the first flash sales.

LeEco went official with the Le Pro 3 yesterday in a conference held in China with the device priding itself as one of the early birds to get the Snapdragon 821 chipset announced by Qualcomm recently. The 5.5-inch device sports a 16MP sensor at the rear featuring 0.1s PDAF, Increased Sharpness, Intelligent Beauty Mode, Gender Recognition and more, while up front, there is an 8MP shooter.

In addition, the Le Pro 3 comes in four memory variants (UFS 2.0) but unfortunately, there is no 8GB RAM model as previously rumored. There is a 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM version, a second with 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, a higher 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM version and then a top-most version with 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM.

Chinese tech giant LeEco has officially released notice of a launch event taking place on September 21. The innovative tech company revealed this via a post on China’s social networking website, Weibo, with a theme that seems to suggest that the new device would be a stunner which would change our entire perception of what a flagship phone should be. We had already gotten the wind before now that LeEco is preparing something powerful which would pop in September with top-notch specs.

According to previous rumors, the expected device is the Le Pro 3 which is expected to be the first Chinese smartphone to feature Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 821 chipset. The Le Pro 3 is also said to pack 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage onboard. The flagship Le Pro 3 is also expected to feature a mammoth 5,000mAh battery, and still have a thin body touted to be just 7mm thick. The Le Pro 3 will also rock a 16MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera.

The LeEco Le Pro 3 had earlier appeared on AnTuTu benchmark, pulling a marvelous score of 163K, which is an indication of the power that LeEco has infused on the upcoming flagship device. The score makes this look more powerful than any device we’ve seen lately.

LeEco’s CEO had earlier taken to Weibo to criticize Apple for launching a flagship iPhone 7 which lacked credible innovations that would justify the exorbitant price tag. Well, that might just have been a publicity stunt to grab some attention but it could also be that he knows what they have in the offing would sure dwarf what the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus pack.  Also, so you’d know, the name of the expected device 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 the name the device will launch with. September 21 is the date, as always, we’ll keep you posted as more news emerge here on Gizmochina.
