LeEco have finally unveiled their much awaited Le Pro 3 and it seems to have caught the attention of many. Thus we now go through a list of things that you need to know about the LeEco Le Pro 3, already renamed the ‘OnePlus 3 killer’.
1. Full metal design & colors
The LeEco Le Pro 3 comes in an all-metal body (98% metal) which sports a 2μm ultra high polished finish created through 58 minutes of CNC machining and 36 complex steps, giving the LeEco Le pro 3 a more refined look. The 5.5″ Full HD display is also covered in 2.5D arc glass with In-Cell touch tech.
The LeEco Le Pro 3 will be available in four colors: force gold, rose gold, silver and grey.
2. The LeEco Le Pro 3 features the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 821
As rumors had suggested, the LeEco Le Pro 3 will be the second smartphone launched on the market to sport the latest Qualcomm Snapradon 821 (only second to the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe). The blazing fast Qualcomm CPU will be clocked at 2.35Ghz, while the Adreno 530 GPU will be running at 653MHz.
3. LeEco Le Pro 3’s cameras
The cameras on the LeEco are nothing extraordinary but should still give pretty good results, the front shooter sports a Sony IMX298 image sensor with a pixel count of 16MP and an aperture of f/2.0, no OIS. The lens is made of sapphire and it’s composed of 6 elements. Among other features we find: PDAF (0.1s fast focusing), HDR, Increased Sharpness, Smart Beauty Mode and 4K video recording at 30fps. Slow-motion videos will be 720p @ 120fps.
On the front we find an 8MP f/2.2 camera with 1.4μm big pixels (good for low-light situations) and a 76.5° wide view angle.
4. LeEco’s hidden logo
LeEco seemed pretty proud to announce the new hidden logo “feature”, but all it appears to be is a LeEco stylized touch home button which lights up when pressed. That’s about it, sorry for wasting your time!
5. LeEco’s second flagship in a year?
Back in April 2016 LeEco launched the Le Max 2 which boasted a Snapdragon 820, albeit it had a bigger 5.7″ screen, that device is not much different from the Le Pro 3 LeEco have announced yesterday. So, why this need to release something? Is it to gain the customers’ good attentions back after the LeEco Le Max 2’s “fiasco”?
6. Le Pro 3’s battery and fast charging.
Gizchina News of the week
LeEco’s Le Pro 3 packs a massive 4070mAh in a thickness of just 7.5mm, that’s pretty amazing if we consider that other devices with similar battery capacity don’t get below 7.9mm (i.e. Huawei Mate 8). Le Pro 3’s battery also features 24W Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and it can charge up to 50% in half an hour.
7. No 3.5mm headphone jack.
Just like the handsets they launched back in April, also the LeEco Le Pro 3 doesn’t sport a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead it’ll support CDLA (Continual Digital Lossless Audio coupled with Dolby Atmos to give you the best quality audio through the USB Type-C port at the bottom.
8. Storage sizes and special editions.
This bit will be a bit confusing, the LeEco Le Pro 3 comes in two “normal” versions and two Zhang Yimou special editions.
Normal versions:
- 4GB of RAM + 32GB of internal storage (UFS 2.0);
- 6GB of RAM + 64GB of internal storage (UFS 2.0);
Special editions:
- 4GB of RAM + 64GB of internal storage (UFS 2.0);
- 6GB of RAM + 128GB of internal storage (UFS 2.0);
The Zhang Yimou special editions will differ from the “normal” edition in the presence of a image of the movie ‘The Great Wall’ with Matt Damon on the back of the device (picture above). All the versions lack a Micro SD slot.
9. Connectivity
LeEco Le Pro 3 supports dual-SIM dual standby 4G+ networks with a maximum download speed of 600Mbps, the dual-band dual-antenna MIMO Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) connection can instead get to up to 866Mbps. Other than that we find NFC, GPS and bluetooth 4.2.
As for the network bands supported it’s as follows:
2G: GSM: 2/3/5/8; CDMA: BC0/BC1
3G: WCDMA: B1/2/4/5/8 TD-SCDMA: B34/39; EVDO:BC0/BC1
4G: FDD-LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE:38/39/40/41
10. Prices and availability
The LeEco Le Pro 3 will cost 1,799 Yuan ($269) in the 4GB + 32GB configuration and 1,999 Yuan ($299) in the 6GB + 64GB variant. The special editions will be 2499 Yuan ($375) for the 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, and 2999 Yuan ($450) for the second version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
The LeEco Le Pro 3 can already be pre-ordered and they will shipped to Chinese customers from September 28th.
If those prices are to be believed, we’re talking about an amazing price to specs ratio. It’s true that we can already find Snapdragon 820 equipped devices for just over $250 in this period, but the LeEco Le Pro 3 just beats them all. It has two down-sides, though — no headphone’s jack and no expandable storage.
What do you guys think? Can you live without 3.5mm jack and micro SD expansion?
should’ve worked more on that bazels
Does anybody know of headphones by B&W, Audiotecnica, Sennheiser etc with USB-C? No? OK, thank you.
I’m sure you already knew you can use normal headphones plugging the in-bundle adapter
But there was an element of fun in his comment anyway 😉
elaborate
also , where’s andi ?
Indeed, his sarcastic tone is on point!
Yes, I know, but then the whole experience becomes very awkward, with the additional adapter dangling from the phone. At this point, I would skip the phone as music machine and buy a separate Fiio or XDuo.
Yeah, the whole point of removing something and tell people that’s an advantage is always stupid (like Samsung used to say that removing microsd card slot on the s6 was better for the overall speed).
But that’s the direction the market is moving to, whether we like it or not. The “lossless audio” is going to become a standard for whoever wants a better audio, so don’t worry: pricey headphones with type-c plug are on the way once this new technology become more widespread.
Also, yes, using a dedicated machine to do something is always better than using the phone. But having everything in one machine is the whole point of the industry nowadays: what’s the point of paying 800+ $ for a smartphone with a good camera when a 200$ camera will always be better?
I’m pretty sure I’m not telling you nothing you didn’t knew already, that’s just for discussing!
Yes, right. But there’s also convenience factor: I’m having the smartphone always with me, so taking pictures is more likely to happen with my smartphone than with a dedicated camera (image quality aside).
The same is true for the music: If I can download OGG/FLAC directly from Bandcamp, I’d like to be able to listen to it right away without copying it into a separate device (sound quality aside).
I can understand the move by Apple – which always was a closed garden, with as few outputs as possible. “Buy a new Apple headphone”, anyway. But for LeEco giving away the convenience of a 3.5 mm jack just for design’s sake I don’t understand.
Now it’s only 7 mm thick. So what? Next year they make it 5 mm and we have to buy an external screen?
Nice discussion, btw 🙂
Yeah, apple makes everything for the money, but for whatever reason they set a standard for the the whole industry… Sadly!
And, here it comes leeco: I don’t think they removed 3.5 jack for a thickness reason, I think they did so they can say “we did it before apple”… I know it’s stupid, but that’s how marketing goes: they can advertise all of those stupid things about lossless audio and no one can say “you copied apple”. Moreover, it makes sense since they put a lot of effort in the audio department!
I’ve only now read the LeEco statement about their reasoning:
http://forum.le.com/us/index.php?threads/the-magic-is-in-the-details.565/
So, the decoder is taken away from the phone and from now on – *each and every headphone/earplug has to have its own digital-analog decoder*.
I wonder if next time they throw out the GPS/GLONASS sensor, the WiFi radio, or whatever based on the same reasoning.
The whole move doesn’t make sense from the user perspective. You’re right: it can be understood only from the PR department’s point of view.
Lossless audio won’t become a standard as it moves the DAC out of the phone. Apple did it so it’ll become a new standard ? I don’t think so. They’re just cutting expenses and making it look like a technological revolution when that’s just a fraud.
I’m sure every brand is gonna sell Type C headphones but their jewels will still be jack connected.
I don’t think 3.5 jack will be totally replaced anytime soon, but at some point lossless audio will go just along with it: after all, lossless audio is a nice feature for whoever works with sound, and then it comes posers trying to imitate them… I mean, “beats by dre” had a lot of success even thought everyone who tryed it say it’s overrated at the very least.
About apple: yes, absolutely! They gives you less and then marketing makes its magic, convincing millions of people it’s a big advantage… Totally stupid! But we can’t deny they’re blindly followed by all of the market, and their mistakes become standard for apparently no reason! That’s why I fear that this one too will become a new standard even thought it’s just as stupid as sealed batteries and lack of microsd… We kind of got used to the latter, don’t know if we won’t got used to type-c music too…
why was the Lemax2 considered a fiasco?
same question …
its a MASSIVE flagship … one i’m very interested in !
I also like the phone but the missing headphone jack plus some other minor problems kind of killed it at the start (in my opinion). It also didn’t cost less than $250 as it does now.
can you tell me the ‘minor problems’ in decent detail ?
Haven’t own one personally but reading around people complain about no micro sd, no custom ROMs and some don’t like LeEco’s EUI. Also the battery isn’t that big (3100mAh) for a device with that screen size.
Either way, as I said in the other comment, that’s something you are willing to ignore if you spend less than $250.
I own the 32 GB Rosé Gold Le Max 2 and I am loving it! Even the color!
32 GB are more than enough for me. On my OP3 there are still about 49 GB free.
I also have no need for a custom ROM or am dealing with EUI, I use Apex Launcher and it works like a charm.
The 3100 mAh battery gets me through two whole days with some 4.5 hours of DOT. Not extremely great, but enough for me.
I paid US-$ 335 in June, which was 77% of the price for my OP3, and still consider the LeEco Max 2 worth every Penny!
lol … battery and ui is no problem for me. i haven’t flashed a phone , so not sure about custom roms.
32gb storage looks good. but can we use Google Drive to upload photos and other stuff to cloud for backup ?
Yeah, I don’t see why not hopefully Google won’t change that!
lol
It is not a Fiasco,is a good phone,but Leeco Have to improve theyr software,Camera is very good,even in low light condition
And thats the issue isn’t it? Putting out so many models means that resources will be split and the majority of it will be assigned to the newest phone.
Lemax 2 might be considered a flagship but leco has moved on to a new toy so i expect minor updates now for the phone. But i still havent seen an explanation why gizmo says that phone wad a fiasco???
Maybe I’ve been a bit harsh but the LeEco Le Max 2 hasn’t had a huge success, mostly due to no headphone jack and some minor lacks. This only my opinion, though, not gizchina’s.
Said that, the Le Max 2 is a must buy now that it costs less than $250!
233$ now :p
i’m gonna take some time to collect/earn cash :p
lets see if it plunges BELOW $200
Don’t push it mate.
im not rich af
The 3 also doesnt have a headphone jack. Is that still going to be a problem or now its actually a good feature for this new device?
Some people will still not buy it because of that but it really comes down to the price IMHO, if it costs as much as they say then maybe it’s worth the trade.
Not for me in the slightest. They remove the headphone jack and the SD card? That’s just stale son.
i’m ALREADY in love with Le Max 2 !
i just need the cash now 😀
I had One,speed on Xiaomi rn3 was faster,and finger print sometime is very slow and not perfect
ah mann !
what do you mean speed was faster ? fingerprint speed or something else ?
also , i would BLINDLY order a RN3 PRO but Xiaomi are banned in Pakistan due to a multitude of reasons !
Lol
rubbing salt , eh ?
XD
I meant miui is faster ,finger print scanner sometimes is slow to recognise,but at the last Lemax 2 have better display,camera and audio(in call and speaker), apologize for my english ?
yay ! Le Max 2 cam is good!
please tell me how good the Le Max 2 FRONT cam (selfie camera ) is ?
your english is fine , mate 🙂
Front camera is good,a bit less in low light condiction
ok
LeEco LeMax 2 was/is not a fiasco afaik… Anyway, this Le Pro 3 seems great…but the FDD-LTE B1/3/7 bands are not enough for me (needing B3/7/20/28 at best)
What Pierre couldn’t know. LeEco exchanged the specs of its specsheet. Now there is written:
FDD-LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE:38/39/40/41
Good news, right?”
Link to spec sheet:
http://www.lemall.com/cn/phone/lepro3/parameter.html
Thanks for the feedback, it has been corrected.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Aaaaaaah! better, definitely!
No band20, no fun. :-/
Looks like the band 20 is supported, LeEco updated their spec sheet. The article has been corrected.
No OIS, no micro SD card, these 2 things stop this phone to be trully great, price/performance. And some bezels…
This is not a flagship, this is lower (or budget) high end, the next flagship is this one https://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx40&os=Android&api=gl&D=LeTV+LeEco+X10+%28X850%29&testgroup=info
Long time no see really, you sure about that this flagship has only 32 gb rom and 4gb ram :/ is the the le2s?
@realjjj:disqus sersiously … WHERE YOU BEEEEEENNNNNN
if THIS is not a freaking flagship … THEN I HATE THE $270 PRICE !
it should be $170 at max !
Since when is having a Snapdragon 820 and up plus 6GB of RAM not a flagship?
Its cool if u don’t like the phone (no one will blame u) but don’t start saying BS like “this is not a flagship”.
If you think about it, this Le Eco 3 is priced according to current market condition, it’s not expensive but it’s not that cheap either.
1st, metal unibody is not that expensive, just look at xiaomi redmi 4 or redmi pro.
2nd, very thick screen bezel, my zuk z1 from last year has thinner border than that!
3rd,camera is OK at best, mediocre at worst, no dual camera, no ois, just average.
4th, the screen is only full HD, no 2k
For sure, various corners have been cut to reach those price points! No loss to Le Eco here!
Your ZUK Z1 is 3.5mm wider and 4.3mm taller than Pro 3. So if you are interested actual dimensions it has smaller bezels. Only iPhone Plus models has larger bezels than ZUK Z1 anyway.
2 years ago Xiaomi Mi4 was only Chinese flagship with Snapdragon 801 at 2000 yuan point with 16GB/3GB model as far as I remember.
Snapdragon 821, 64GB UFS 2.0 storage and 6GB RAM is quite a bargain for 2000 yuan. For same price Mi5 came with 32GB/3GB and a watered down Snapdragon 820.
Its a mystery to me why Xiaomi and several other brands makes flagships with ever fragile glass backs and make budget phones with metal.
it feels great, i got the le max 2 and mi5 and yeah its slippery..but i prefer the smooth feel in the hand ^^ but its everyones taste :3
But is it really Smoot or just greasy with all those fingerprints :/ to each his own tho
i dunno..i like both..but i have to say what i really like about the mi5 or also xiaomi phones i had are those rounded corners…other phones feel a bit more like a brick..like the le max 2 feels really sturdy and stuff..but those rounded sides really do wonder when it comes to how it lays in the hand
yeah they really are ergonomic
@disqus_jiL6EhI6RK:disqus , plz tell me about le max 2
esp camera. how’s the front cam esp ?
and anything else you can tell
camera is really detailed, low light is good..but its kinda of the less saturated side..so its more natural but i like a bit of punch
hdr tends to take all the greens out somehow 🙁 looks like the color is sucked out fo the grass..but in terms of details its really good
i dunno..i liked the camera if it jsut had a bit better hdr
front camera is really good..you cana lso find some camera comparisons and camera reviews on youtube to see the results
I’m pretty sure the MI 5s announced in a few days will at least matched or even beat Le eco price and although xiaomi is not my 1st choice I would prefer xiaomi over Le eco any day of the week! Simply because xiaomi has better support from the community than Le eco. Long term support is an important criterion for me as I don’t change phone that often.
Expect a starting price of $400 for the Mi5s (that is if Xiaomi are really feeling charitable).
I will never understand how not having 2k results is cutting corners, using your “thinn-ness” argument shouldn’t the metal body cost then more for the R&D it took to get 4000mah in 7.5mm
The camera sensor of course the sensor since reviews/ camera samples are limited now, is actually very good at best and OK at worst, the imx 298 is no slouch in low light conditions see
The zenfone 3, OP3 and Huawei nova plus for examples not world leading but very good
Up to this point, none of Le eco released phones are famous for good camera, quite on the contrary actually, so I won’t hold my breath on that. They make ok phones, not great when their phones have various cost cutting measures to reach lower price points.
Asus isn’t famous for having great camera either but they delivered this time around, seeing that they are using the imx 298 sensor most of the work should be done for them already so chances are the camera is likely to be good
As for leeco’s cost cutting it is not a physical one but more so a negative profit approach that gets consumers in and make money from them being in the leeco system that’s where they make the money back
The resellers are already offering insane increase in the sale price , Leeco should have its own international online channel sales , just like OP
Wait like a month and price will be realistic
I don’t think 1 month is enough, maybe 3 to 6 months is more realistic for the online re-seller to lower their price to a more reasonable one.
In two months time they will have a new ‘flagship’ to sell.
Yes, 3 months sounds reasonable
U sure about B20?
According to LeEco’s website: http://www.lemall.com/cn/phone/lepro3/parameter.html

“LeEco’s Le Pro 3 packs a massive 4070mAh in a thickness of just 7.5mm, that’s pretty amazing if we consider that other devices with similar battery capacity don’t get below 7.9mm (i.e. Huawei Mate 8).”
I think u narrowed down the example(s) u considered cos a little more research would’ve mean the Nubia z11 max with similar battery capacity (4000mah) and a thickness of 7.4mm makes it to that brief list and the term ‘pretty amazing’ avoided.
z11 is also bigger by 0.5″, so I guess it still counts.
should’ve worked more on that bazels

p.p.s Nice discussion, btw 🙂

For sure, various corners have been cut to reach those price points! No loss to Le Eco here!
Your ZUK Z1 is 3.5mm wider and 4.3mm taller than Pro 3. So if you are interested actual dimensions it has smaller bezels. Only iPhone Plus models has larger bezels than ZUK Z1 anyway.
2 years ago Xiaomi Mi4 was only Chinese flagship with Snapdragon 801 at 2000 yuan point with 16GB/3GB model as far as I remember.
Snapdragon 821, 64GB UFS 2.0 storage and 6GB RAM is quite a bargain for 2000 yuan. For same price Mi5 came with 32GB/3GB and a watered down Snapdragon 820.
Its a mystery to me why Xiaomi and several other brands makes flagships with ever fragile glass backs and make budget phones with metal.
it feels great, i got the le max 2 and mi5 and yeah its slippery..but i prefer the smooth feel in the hand ^^ but its everyones taste :3
I will never understand how not having 2k results is cutting corners, using your “thinn-ness” argument shouldn’t the metal body cost then more for the R&D it took to get 4000mah in 7.5mm
The camera sensor of course the sensor since reviews/ camera samples are limited now, is actually very good at best and OK at worst, the imx 298 is no slouch in low light conditions see
The zenfone 3, OP3 and Huawei nova plus for examples not world leading but very good
Let’s wait and see if it’s an up to part camera Ois is unnecessary for stable picture/videos
But is it really Smoot or just greasy with all those fingerprints :/ to each his own tho
@disqus_jiL6EhI6RK:disqus , plz tell me about le max 2
esp camera. how’s the front cam esp ?
and anything else you can tell
Up to this point, none of Le eco released phones are famous for good camera, quite on the contrary actually, so I won’t hold my breath on that. They make ok phones, not great when their phones have various cost cutting measures to reach lower price points.
I’m pretty sure the MI 5s announced in a few days will at least matched or even beat Le eco price and although xiaomi is not my 1st choice I would prefer xiaomi over Le eco any day of the week! Simply because xiaomi has better support from the community than Le eco. Long term support is an important criterion for me as I don’t change phone that often.
Asus isn’t famous for having great camera either but they delivered this time around, seeing that they are using the imx 298 sensor most of the work should be done for them already so chances are the camera is likely to be good
As for leeco’s cost cutting it is not a physical one but more so a negative profit approach that gets consumers in and make money from them being in the leeco system that’s where they make the money back
Expect a starting price of $400 for the Mi5s (that is if Xiaomi are really feeling charitable).
i dunno..i like both..but i have to say what i really like about the mi5 or also xiaomi phones i had are those rounded corners…other phones feel a bit more like a brick..like the le max 2 feels really sturdy and stuff..but those rounded sides really do wonder when it comes to how it lays in the hand
camera is really detailed, low light is good..but its kinda of the less saturated side..so its more natural but i like a bit of punch
hdr tends to take all the greens out somehow 🙁 looks like the color is sucked out fo the grass..but in terms of details its really good
i dunno..i liked the camera if it jsut had a bit better hdr
front camera is really good..you cana lso find some camera comparisons and camera reviews on youtube to see the results
yeah they really are ergonomic
The resellers are already offering insane increase in the sale price , Leeco should have its own international online channel sales , just like OP
Wait like a month and price will be realistic
I don’t think 1 month is enough, maybe 3 to 6 months is more realistic for the online re-seller to lower their price to a more reasonable one.
In two months time they will have a new ‘flagship’ to sell.
Yes, 3 months sounds reasonable
U sure about B20?
According to LeEco’s website: http://www.lemall.com/cn/phone/lepro3/parameter.html
“LeEco’s Le Pro 3 packs a massive 4070mAh in a thickness of just 7.5mm, that’s pretty amazing if we consider that other devices with similar battery capacity don’t get below 7.9mm (i.e. Huawei Mate 8).”
I think u narrowed down the example(s) u considered cos a little more research would’ve mean the Nubia z11 max with similar battery capacity (4000mah) and a thickness of 7.4mm makes it to that brief list and the term ‘pretty amazing’ avoided.
z11 is also bigger by 0.5″, so I guess it still counts.
I will never buy a phone from them, no black color, no microsd, no custom ROMs, no headphone jack, and they wonder why the last one didn’t sell good
What is wrong with those people they just fuck themselves in the ass
“Is it to gain the customers’ good attentions back after the LeEco Le Max 2’s fiasco?”
what fiasco?????
Only coming in Pink?
Thats the only one I can imagine…but pretty bad to be honest. For that price its really outstanding but I just dont see myself using a pink phone…wish I was a girl..:-D
I feel fine using it! Sure, I would prefer a different color, maybe Gray or Silver or even regular Gold, but hey, those specs for that kind of money?! Are you kidding me? Really a no-brainer
Actually Le Max 2 did come in other colors, only the higher end variants thoe. 6GB 64GB and 6GB 128GB came in grey or force gold (not rose gold). These cost WAY more than the base variant thoe. Hopefully with the le pro 3 you can choose color regardless of variant.
From what I’ve seen on youtube the phone doesnt look pink at all.

This can’t do the trick without SD and jack.
Mi5S got a real advantage here.
Mi got no bands.
An i the only one that would like to read a side by side review of the lemax 2 and le pro 3?

love the phone, hate the black border!
No black version? Well LeEco can suck my balls. I have my X600 because it’s black. A front black is the only logical color.
LeEco should have only black front phone, to hide their famous LeBorders.

Is this right? The 4+64 “special edition” is more expensive than the 6+64?

Retarded people everywhere
I have the le max2 and the le 2 pro and both phones are increíbles
I dont need sd slot because 64 and 32 gb of space are enough these days if you use cloud base storage (sorry if you are poor and can afford It or phone data)
3.5 Jack common you wont see any of this in around 5 years and probable phones charges wireless too
CDLA sound is better than Jack obviusly listen 320mp3 (those 25€ headphones sound equal as 100€ headphones)
Anyways the box comes with usb c and Jack adapter so stop crying
And you can use BT headphones too
“sorry if you are poor and can afford It or phone data”, can’t*. Cloud storage won’t help you store apps and you need a data connection which you can’t always get. Also if you are so rich then why not just buy a S7 Edge or Mate 9?

Why put all these bells and whistles on a lovely phone but no OIS? I made that mistake once and never again. I will spend more to get it, but will have to spend it somewhere else.
