LeEco - a new line of smartphones from China with unexpected solutions

All who have at least a little interested in mobile electronics, well aware that in this field the phrase "Made in China" - a positive characteristic. In China, the company is not afraid to experiment with new solutions, while selling their innovations for the money on the background of the price of electronics from other countries and money-it is difficult to call. That the Chinese brand LeEco introduced several new smartphones in the best traditions of art from the Middle Kingdom.

For starters, LeEco - a brand well-known in China. Previously, the company was called LeTV, but because its interests went far beyond the television and changed the name.

at a recent presentations LeEco demonstrated concepts and new products, which can not be discussed. To begin with, which is important for almost all, that is, with new smartphones.

Smartphones Le - one more reason to love the Chinese electronics

At a good Chinese tradition, LeEco introduced a line of smartphones that are ready to compete with any brand Quality and performance embodied in them stuffing, well, the main argument in the debate who is better, the price will be.

So, presented three models: Le 2, Le 2 Pro, Le Max 2. Externally, the models differ... but nothing they do not differ. It is, in fact, a smart phone, just in different versions, so that everyone was comfortable choose to fit your needs and your wallet. Only the flagship, that is Le Max 2, slightly larger: 5.7 inches vs. 5.5 inches for smaller smartphone.

All models have a thin metal body, the front panel is completely covered with glass, a minimum of parts. Design classic, without obvious experiments, and therefore universal.

Le 2 and 2 Pro Le outwardly twins, and in slightly different. The difference is noticeable only three parameters: in the Pro version more RAM (4 GB to 3 GB), slightly more powerful processor, the main camera - 21 MP instead of 16 MP.

Everything else is identical. Display - 1920 × 1080 dots, IPS-matrix. Built-in memory is 32 GB (expand it at the expense of the memory card will not work), the battery capacity of 3000 mAh, a slot into two nano-SIM.

Recognition system is also present in all versions of fingerprints. Flagship distinguished by the fact that the fingerprint then installed ultrasound. It helps if your hands are dirty, wet, greasy, and so on - in short, if you need to grab a normal scanner after washed their hands with soap, the ultrasonic cope well.

Few details about the flagship that is about Le Max 2. Equipped it is more than good: here and Snapdragon processor 820, and sufficient amounts of memory, and the camera with the optical stabilization. The result was an undoubted leader of the line, which can easily compete not only with the Chinese manufacturers.

And now for the really unexpected solutions. All of the models there is no 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones, as we used to see him. Instead, it proposes to use Producer USB Type-C together with proprietary headphones. Who are not ready to part with their headphones, can use an adapter.

The expediency of such a decision, many raised questions, but LeEco decided to abandon the old format. At least it creates a good ground for discussion and clashes of opinion: we need a 3.5mm jack or it's time to retire.

If someone else doubts that LeEco smartphones are worthy of attention and detailed testing, let him look at the price. At the time of writing and Le 2 Le 2 Pro that text cost about 16 500 and 19 500 rubles, respectively. Le Max 2 costs in terms of rubles in the basic version a little more than 27,000. There is still a top-end version, which includes 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB internal. These figures are very much the flagship, and even what price we provide approximate (because you can not say for sure, how much will cost smartphones in Russia, when and if the fall in our stores) should not greatly affect the clear benefits from purchases.

Not only smartphones

Presentation It surprised not only smartphones. It is worth noting the TV running on Snapdragon 810, which resembles, where start-up companies.

And that's what it's going to come, so it is to the production of electric cars. Yes, serious bid. Presented car LeSEE sample looks like a movie about the distant future, however, is on the way, controlled and displays the results.

That is quite possible to expect that this project will be able to go beyond the walls of laboratories and test sites to compete with Tesla.
