Benchmarks for the up coming LeTV LeEco 2 have emerged today and strangely they show the phone running a Mediatek Helio X25 chipset.
If you have been keeping your eyes on the latest chipsets from Mediatek, then you will know that the X25, an updated version of the X20, was meant to be a Meizu only exclusive chipset, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
New benchmarks reveal that the LeEco 2 will also run a version of the Helio X25 (or Mediatek MT6797T) running at 2.0Ghz with 3GB RAM and 32GB memory (24GB left for users).
Gizchina News of the week
The specs also real that the latest LeTV phone will continue to use a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display, but will see an update in the camera and OS departments. The benchmarks show the phone with Android 6.0, 15 mega-pixel rear camera, and 7 mega pixel front (likely an 8 mega-pixel front and 16 mega-pixel rear once the phone launches).
In addition to the Mediatek powered variant of the LeEco 2 a Snapdragon 820 model will also be launched with a higher price.
Both phones are set to be unveiled next month, so keep your eyes on GizChina for the latest.
Most likely this is not the final software build, or that geekbench mistook the X20 for the X25(happens with new SoC’s sometimes)
That was my thought too. Seems like this is actually the X20 and not the X25.
I wonder if this is a half way house between the x20 and x25, maybe only the GPU is clocked faster on this. There is also the possibility that this won’t be released for another 3-4 months by which time Meizu’s exclusivity will have expired.
Apparently Sammy got hold of the X25 as well… http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_s7_with_helio_x20_and_x25_chipsets_spotted_in_benchmark-news-17476.php
I would highly doubt this, it makes no sense for Samsung. Geekbench has all sorts of phone/chip combinations that never see the light of day.
Never saw a Samsung with MTK chipset.
Turns out X25 is not so exclusive to Meizu as we have been led to believe.
I`m keeping a close eye on this device, certainly looks good for the price, only problem is that they are using the same Sony 230 sensor from their previous lineup to cut costs.
There’s no problem with that sensor if they use a good lens and properly optimize it. It takes stunning photos on the Meizu’s that use it.
The sensor itself is not bad, just dated, it has less than stellar low-light performance and is very good in macro shots and when there is plenty of light, but it`s not a real upgrade. I am a Flex 2 and Honor 7(which boasts the same sensor btw)user and I am looking for something better at that price point besides benchmarks.
Low light performance can vary from device to device with the same sensor based on the aperture, lens and software used. But I have yet to use a smartphone with good low light performance, (even the ones just released) the sensors are just too small. A newer sensor with the same old lens and poor optimization will gave similar results.
Yes, but it seems that LeTv offered good money to MTK to give them access to the chip also.
Or Meizu has exclusive rights for a set period of time. There is still so little known about this and Meizu’s plans. This might not be launched for months.
But you know you don’t have a wallet charger in your pocket and not always you have an easy access to one. I mean that the new phones must last through the day without even the need to think about the battery, but still that’s not the case
I also don’t have extra batteries in my pockets. The last three new phones I had all lasted at least a day, some even longer.

Oh man , this one would be perfect with micro sd card slot ,or at least a version with 64gb

3 phones Andy, there is a SD652 LeEco x520 too.
As long as it has quick charge non removable battery really isn’t needed.
