The new Le 2 smartphone ditches the traditional 3.5mm audio jack for the new USB Type-C audio port.
Just yesterday, LeEco had sent out media invites for a launch event on June 8 in New Delhi, but the invite didn’t mention anything about what the company plans to launch. Now, the company has sent out another invite that clearly reads ‘2 Future’ and has ‘2’ written in Roman letters (II). This is a good enough hint that points to the launch of the new Le 2 smartphone, which the company unveiled in China last month.
The LeEco Le 2 sports a unibody metal design and a fingerprint scanner at the back for biometric authentication. It also ditches the 3.5mm audio port and comes with a USB Type-C audio port instead. With CDLA (Continual Digital Loseless Audio) technology, the company claims to offer high-quality uncompressed audio listening experience.
LeEco Le 2 specifications, features: The smartphone flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) display with and is powered by MediaTek’s Helio X20 deca-core SoC paired with 3GB of RAM and Mali-T880 GPU. While the smartphone also comes with 32GB internal storage, there is no option to expand it further. Other features include a 16-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel selfie sensor and a 3,000mAh non removable battery with fast charging support. With connectivity options such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and VoLTE support, the smartphone runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS wrapped under LeEco’s EUI 5.5.
In China, the Le 2 is priced at 1,099 Yuan in China, which is approximately Rs 11,300. It will be interesting to see if LeEco can price the Le 2 in the same range. At the China launch event, LeEco also introduced two other smartphones, the Le 2 Pro and the Le Max 2, and the company may also launch them at the June 8 event.
LeEco Le 2 Pro specifications, features: As the name suggests, Le 2 Pro is a slightly powerful variant of the Le 2. It is powered by a MediaTek Helio X25 deca-core chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and comes with a 21-megapixel rear camera. Rest of specifications are the same as the Le 2. On the pricing front, the Le 2 Pro costs 1,499 Yuan in China, which is Rs 15,400 in India.
LeEco Le Max 2 specifications, features: The successor to Le Max that was launched in India earlier this year, it is the expensive of the three. Priced at 2,099 Yuan in China, which is approximately Rs 21,500, the Le Max 2 features a 5.7-inch QHD display. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor, it also includes 6GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage. With a 21-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera, the Le Max 2 is armed with a 3,100mAh battery along with Qualcomm’s with Quick Charge 3.0 feature.
