LeEco Pro 3 launched – full specifications

AndiSeptember 21, 2016

LeEco have announced their new flagship phone and with it there is good news and bad news.

If you had been following the LeEco rumours then you might have been excited by the idea it would come with a huge 8GB RAM. If the prospect of all that RAM got you excited then I’m afraid we have some bad news for you.

READ: 10 things you ABSOLUTELY need to know about the Le Pro 3!

Today at the launch of the new phone it was revealed that there will be 2 versions of the phone, one with 4GB RAM and the other with 6GB RAM. There isn’t an 8GB RAM version on the cards.

Still the LeEco Pro 3 does have the sort of high-end hardware that we expected to see plus pricing is decent too.

Of all the features, the Snapdragon 821 chipset is the item that is going to draw most attention. The chipset runs at 2.35Ghz and powers both variants of the new smartphone. Another stand-out feature is the rear 16 mega-pixel Sony IMX298 camera with F2.0 aperture and PDAF.

The rest of the specs are equal to other smartphones we’ve seen launch over the past few months. Up front each version of the Pro 3 has a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 screen, 8 mega-pixel F2.2 front camera, 4070mAh battery and Qualcomm fast charge 3.0.

Dimensions of the metal phone are 151.4 x 73.9 x 7.5mm with a weight of 175g and colour options including Force Gold Jazz Charm Gold, Silver and Gray.

Storage options range from 32GB all the way upto 128GB with prices running from 1799 Yuan all the way up to 2999 Yuan. Chinese customers will get the phone first, with online resellers expected to receive stock in a few weeks time.

So now you know all the specs is the Pro 3 the phone you were waiting for?

Wow … now this is the smartphone I have been waiting for. One question though…
Does it have a standard earphone jack? Or do we have to depend on the USB C for earphone?
I am more interested in the one with 64GB or 128GB internal memory.

  USB C. 6/64GB is only 1999RMB, 6/128 is 2999 due to extra software features and special theme/case
  - September 21, 2016
    I’d rather go for the 6GB/64GB model. Not going to pay an extra 1000 for the extra 64GB. Thats crazy… I think I can go with the lack of earphone jack.

    Which features? Does any one know about Daylight support? Even though I have no idea if it’s going to be useful or cool, I want it lol

“The rest of the specs are equal to other smartphones we’ve seen launch over the past few months”
Now, tell me which 5.5″ flagship has had a ~4100mah battery this year (or, perhaps, ever). That’s the real deal, not the highly useless 8gb of ram!
Also, pricing starting at 1799 yuan is awesome to see for a phone with those specs!
Too bad for them they didn’t manage to insert more led flashes instead of all of the other specs, I’ve heard this year you can charge like 100 extra yuan per led (or so said someone who put 10 leds on a phone, can’t remember his name) ?
Still no 3.5 jack nor microsd, which are big let down, but interesting nonetheless!
PS: only one day to cover the news while all readers were asking for it, uh?
The pace is real!

Waiting less than year for OP4 is more interesting, than these other chinese phones.

A new device already? By the time we order it from a chinese store and it’s finally delivered the device is already obsolete and replaced with a new model. (I just bought a Lemax 2 and havent received it yet). How much longer can this frenzy of new models every few months last?
- bob
  September 22, 2016
  True! I bought my Le 2 Max in June. No need for an immediate upgrade. If it really is an upgrade. Slightly faster processor and considerably bigger battery, but slightly smaller screen with considerably lower pixel density…

  But we should not forget that for some of us this means price cuts and Leeco is doing it the right way n am loving them for this.

GizChina was really slow to post this, I found out through mainstream sites first.
LeEco did open a retail shop 400m down the street from me though, might be worth a look although I don’t see myself buying a Chinese version sans everything Google.

    Yea, because it’s pre installed. You just gave to install play store apk and you’re good to go.

Wot…no dual cams ~?
Then what will distinguish this from Hundereds of others similar phones in pipe line to hit market before X-mas.
- September 22, 2016
  The more capable high-eng IMX298 doesn`t need dual cams.
  Two average cams do not make a good one.
  Huawei’s model works because they have a better algo and put good sensors and lens.
  Dual camera phones like LeEco Cool 1 and Remdmi Pro are OK, but single sensors on the market capture better photos.

  Those specs for that kind of price is enough to distinguish it from every other phone on the market.

  The biggest battery ever seen on a flagship phone is quite a good point imho… Moreover, a le max 3 is on the way with dual camera (the one with that creepy face).

Well, I wanted to buy it but no 2K and no 8GB RAM, that’s a big bummer for me.
Maybe I’ll buy the Le Max 2

    Because it is not a step forward when you ccompare it with the le max 2

SD821 + 4100mAh + IMX298 for 17999RMB really is a great offer, too bad there is no jack on this phone… that’s a showstopper for me.

Crazy offer from leco, phone of the year, I don’t think xiaomi will price their phones si cheap.
Twister12

Those crazy specs are nothing if it still have a $hitty rom. I’m talking of experience here as I have one of their devices. It became tolerable only when I installed an MIUI custom rom.

Now hopefully those china online re-seller will not jack off the price too much. Then this is probably a very good buy comparable to Xiaomi.
And yeah hopefully there is alternative ROM for this model. CyanogenMod is probably the best if available.

Unbearable black borders..
LeEco, can you make a black version? Take a look at iphone, they beat you with that color option!
- September 25, 2016
  With the renders and the rumors surfacing weeks back, we did see a black back cover.
  But I believe it wasn’t the Le Pro 3 but another upcoming phone, perhaps the first LeEco flagship of 2017.
  It definitely looked much better than all of these color options available for this phone!
