What happens when you take the LETV Le1S and give it a 2016 makeover? The 2016 LeTV Le2 is what, take a look at these specs and pics.
LeTV are set to make their first 2016 phone launches, and from these TENAA leaks the phone is looking rather interesting already. From the leaks we see the phone is codenamed the LeTV X621, and form the images we see some significant changes for this year’s phones.
First of is just how small this phone looks. From the images alone we would have guessed this phone to be a 5-inch device, but from the documents we see the panel is in fact a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 panel. The reason the phone looks smaller in these images is the new rear camera lens design, which is significantly larger than the square rear fingerprint scanner.
Counting on with the images we see that LeTV have given the Le2 some additional black detailing between the home and power button and along the sides following the display. Will these black borders mea that the Le2 has a edge to edge screen or not we don’t yet know, but it is a new styling feature for phones.
Gizchina News of the week
Going through the details that TENAA have provided we can see that the LeTV Le2 will feature a 2.3Ghz Mediatek Helio X20 chipset (MT6797), with 3GB RAM, and 32GB internal memory.
The battery is a 3000mAh model, which is quite small when you take in to account the new Meizu Note 3 has a 4100mAh battery and only costs 799 Yuan.
Other hardware details that TENAA have revealed are an 8 mega-pixel front camera, 16 mega-pixel rear camera, VOLTE,, LEUI with Android 6.0, and a USB Type C.
So there it is a possible borderless LeTV Le2 with Helio X20 which might cost around 1000 Yuan, what do you think?
looks good to me, speaking of the meizu m3 note, would you say its a better value for money than the redmi note 3 pro, thats selling for 250 and the note3 spec wise is virtually identical for less
hard to say really without trying the Meizu. If they got the build on par with the MX5 then the Meizu would be better, I wasn’t impressed with the build of the Redmi note 3
i wasnt impressed with its camera :/
me either 😉
Give us a review.
Didn’t they change their name to LeEco?
The company is LeEco of which LeTV is a part of
Looks like no microSD, the world would be better off without people like them that are ready to screw their customers over and cripple their own hardware for a few extra $.
Anyway, this is not a 999CNY device, best you can hope is that the X510 with SD652 is that/.
No microSD … That like Tarzan without aaaaaeeeeeiiiiiiiiooooooouuuuuuu… ?
Lol
Can’t wait for 2018.
This SoC generation is disappointing to say the least.
The chief troll always on the job.
Maybe by 2018 your precious (and pointless) Antutu scores will break 200,000!
Hope to see this one as an upgrade of the first LeEco Le1. The Le1s was a kind of disappointment compared to the original model.
Xiomi set the right direction in the battery department in the midrange segment, but sadly enough, for now only meizu has been smart enough to follow up…
Interesting, I will keep an eye out for this. Still looking at the 1s as my future phone, but my elephone p6000 is still working good enough atm, so I will wait till summer.
Also I just noticed there is an x501 model in the gizchina store now? The Le1s with 64gb memory 😮
If the battery was bigger and it didn’t look so generic I would be interested.
This design was already outdated last year, it will be even more so this year…
Big black bezels on the sides and massive wasted space because of onscreen buttons => no thanks
Ehm, the buttons o the le1s were capacitive and not on-screen, there is not wasted space.
Again that hideous rose-gold color that looks like rust. I can’t stand it.
Are there any current smartphones in the M3 Note/Redmi Note 3 price range that don’t have antenna lines or grooves on the back that distort the look?
LeEco/LeTv seems to have opted for last years proven design platform. Nevertheless it will be a good device for the asking price. My only gripe is the lack of memory expansion with memeory cards. Just by looks it seems Le 2 have more substance than it predecessor Le 1s.
Safe design, disappointing TBH, but it will be well made.
Spec, undecided depends on camera BUT look at the price, big smile, and finally I have comments again 🙂 no where is the mi5 post…?
What happened to the first SD820 phone (Jan 2016). I could’nt find it when I bought my 2016 phone
No thanks
No micro sd slot?
HTC clone ?
Not the best phone. Color ugly, no storage card means music library doesn’t transfer. Pictures transfer through cloud storage. Battery insufficient, doesn’t last a half day if the phone is used just for a few pictures. Storage space insufficient in just a short period of usage. New phone has to do a lot to overcome just these short falls and there are many more.
Major disapointment. Just a upgraded version of the 1s, not worthy of the new “2” name. I even read somewhere it migh not have a 3.5mm port. Yeah WTF indeed.
Well made? Lets not forget it has one of the most fragile screens out there.
The first model made a good impression on the design, this one just disapoints.
Letv what are you doing? Oh BTW, why the pics have Letv on it? Shouldn’t it be Leeco?
