LeEco has launched a new flagship smartphone in China. Called the LeEco Le Pro3, the phone features an all-metal build and sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display with 2.5D curved glass display. Further, it is powered by the 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 SoC, making the the second device to be powered by Qualcomm’s new processor. At the back of the device is a 16MP camera with phase detection autofocus and uses Sony's IMX298 sensor. At the front is an 8MP camera. The phone is equipped with a large 4070mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 and has a fingerprint scanner located below the rear camera.
Like the LeEco Le 2 and the Le Max2, the new phone doesn’t come with a 3.5mm headphone jack, and instead uses the USB Type-C port for audio. It also features LeEco’s proprietary Continual Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) technology. The phone runs EUI 5.8, which is based on Android Marshmallow.
The LeEco Le Pro3 is available in four different variants:
4GB RAM/32GB Storage – CNY 1799 (approx. Rs. 18,100)
6GB RAM/64GB Storage – CNY 1999 (approx. Rs. 20,100)
4GB RAM/64GB Storage – CNY 2499 (approx. Rs. 25,100)
6GB RAM/128GB Storage – CNY 2999 (approx. Rs. 30,100)
It is not yet known if or when the LeEco Le Pro3 smartphone will be launched in India. If it does, then it will be up against flagship phones like the Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe, which was the first phone to be powered by the Snapdragon 821 SoC. Asus’ flagship phone was launched in India last month and is priced at Rs. 62,999.
