LeTV have sent out press invites for “Le Future” an event to take place at Caesars Palace in LA on the 5th of January! It this the launch of the first Snapdragon 820 phone?
LeTV have long been rumoured as the company who might usher in the age of the Snapdragon 820, and now it looks like the date has been set. Press invites for a launch event to be held on the 5th January have been linked to the launch of the LeMax Pro, a phone with the new chipset and some super highend features.
LeTV Le Max Pro
Gizchina News of the week
From earlier benchmarks the LeTV Le Max Pro looks impressive with an Antutu score over 133,000 points, sure benchmarks are one thing, but we do expect the Le Max Pro to be every bit as potent as we believe once released.
From sources the phone, codenamed the X910, will feature a 5.5-inch 2K display, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, 21 mega-pixel main camera and will be a true bezel-less design with 2.5D glass display.
Leaked renders of the phone show a very sleek design which has a curved rear and 3D curved display. The render also seems to show an impression on the chin where a home button fingerprint scanner may sit.
LeTV’s choice to launch the phone in the U.S would also help promote the companies US launch of the LeTV Mall and may also be the launch pad for their international streaming service and TV sales.
DAMNNN !
Too bad it won’t have microSD card support.
I’m excited
This will not be cheap. But I wonder if this will go international
If they are unveiling it in the US it seems they have plans to take it international.
what’s your best guess at price?
No clue but over $500.
i suspect you are right. more than I want to spend on a phone, but probably well worth it. hopefully they bring their lower end phones to the US as well in the very near future
Well worth it depends on your budget and needs. For me there is only two companies I would spend that much on a phone and LeTV isn’t one of them.
Experience speaking!
my guess would be $599
The article should say Caesar’s Palace in LV. LA is either Louisiana or Los Angeles, neither of which have a Caesars.
i know there’s Little Caesar in Louisiana 😉
Nothing beats $5 pizza!
Pizza Pizza!
Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend! I am off of here for at least a week lol.
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
i won’t have much time either between work, son not going to school and family coming tonight from Europe to spend the holidays here.
I’ll see you around for CES 2016, I’m looking forward to hear about LeTV coming in the US with their phones.
Guys! This is the future!!!!!!
This is an effing hot phone! hope SD820 isn’t effing hot either 😉
I’m with x800 geared with sd810, FYI the phone is far from getting hot.. Letv managed that, so we trust them 😀
Nice…. Jan 5, can you arrive before Christmas?!! 🙂
Early reports are the chip was suffering from overheating but Samsung is hard at work to find a solution:

If it looks anything like those renders, I will be very impressed….
When the first pics of the x600 came out, people were suspicious as well, but it turned out to be true.
Only 21MP cam or even will have one of the best optics like what oneplus did with their 2? Larger pixel size, smaller aperture for low light, OIS etc?
“Only 21mp”. 21 is more MP than you will ever need in a camera. Sensor size is much more important to great photos.
By only I meant, they just shown us the MP which matters to them, but for us not, we need good optics, bigger sensor what you have mentioned, and smaller aperture size. I cannot remember when I last saw a phone with f/1.8 or less aperture equipped phone.
Ahh gotcha. Only phones I remember in the last few years with 1.8 or less is LG G4, Vivo Xshot and Xiaomi Mi4, most flagships are 2.0, 2.2 or occasionally 1.9.
From zero to the U.S market in, what, 6 months?
What other reason would they have for announcing the phone in Las Vegas?
Oh wait. I mean a little ceasers drive through in West L.A.
Come on. Fix that, would ya?
This site needs a full time editor we have been saying that for years.
if it gets a sd-reader (dreaming i know) it will be on my short list to replace my Blu Pure XL… of course when it gets cheaper and used hahahaha
Letv is one of those new manufacturers with whom i am thoroughly impressed with…
Yet in China they’re selling the X600 soooo cheap! My wife bought one at RMB 1048, and the build quality is amazing. If they had a ‘Nexus’ version for international sales, they could make lots of sales, and a BIG name.
1048 rmb is so cheap…letv’s have better build than their meizu counterparts
And Meizu’s quality is good enough, but yes, at the some price point, there’s no rival right now! I’d swear they’re losing money on this one (dumping) to make a name and get it back later.
I could come up with a few rivals regardless of price point. LeTV offerings have been fairly impressive but they are not blowing away the competition by any means, if anything they are keeping pace.
Guess I’m not that ‘in’ in the market, but, from big names in Chinese
field (Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Meizu…) I had a hard time to come
up with a match (that’s why I decided it was a good buy). I mean, I
must confess I’m a bit overwhelmed with the vast amount of phone makers
in this country. Can’t even remember their names, as they keep coming
out of the blue with, in some cases, interesting proposals, or even
presence in distant countries (say Dogee, Leagoo…).
X910 will be my new phone in 6-8 months from now, when its price is about 300euro 😀 . I wanna see that true bezel-less screen they are talking about.
That render is sweet…
Do I have to sell my house to be able to buy this phone?
