BUILD QUALITY
The Body is made of metal and has curvy shaped edges and the
handset is 7.5 mm slim. The Speaker is placed at the bottom Side and at back
side there is flash beside Camera sensor, under that has the Fingerprint sensor
above the Letv logo. There is One Tiny Led light which is beside the front
camera for Notification. The camera module is a slightly Out from the
Device's Surface. Phone looks very gorgeous in Rose Gold color.
DISPLAY
Le 2
comes with 5.5 Inch 1080p FHD Display with 403 ppi. The Viewing angles are excellent and the screen is visible from almost all angles.
The color reproduction is fantastic and whites are really white and so as
black . The screen is visible outdoors , thanks to adaptive brightness and
outdoor option. There is a black border (bezels) along the outlines of screen .
Sound Quality
Le 2 comes with
CDLA (Continuous Digital Lossless Audio) technology, the earphone sound is
really best with this set. The speaker sound is loud and clear. Thanks to DOLBY
ATMOS, which makes sound really enjoyable in earphone.
GAMING
The
Gaming Performance is very smooth and no lags.
All the graphics
were getting rendered and no frame drops encountered. We played and tested
Mortal Combat X, FL Commando, Real Racing, Asphalt 8, FIFA 14, and Mission
Impossible. It gets heated after a continuous Gameplay of around 30 minutes. Max
Temperature we encountered was 43C.
EUI OS
The
user interface is very good, though it has different style from other UI at
present, the settings and shortcut icons pop out when the 1st Option
soft key (Left) is pressed. If we swipe upwards that will only show the latest notification.
5.8.015s Stable version is the latest updated we used .There are plenty of
customization and 10 Indian languages available in phone, which is a good initiative.
About Le LIVE- “SUPERTAINMENT”
Le 2 in India comes bundled with LeEco’s Supertainment
program that if purchased separately would cost Rs 4900. With this program,
users will get access to more than 1.9 million songs with lossless audio, 50+
Big Ticket International Live Concerts, exclusive Live Streaming of Major

there’s still a lot more! Access to a content library of 2000+ movies and 3000+
hours of curated shows, 150+ live TV channels in 10 languages. Surely, the
content membership alone makes Le 2 a must-buy.
CAMERA
LeEco's
camera app is one of the best ones around, with easy access to important
settings. It borrows heavily from iOS but also offers more functionality, such
as a few scene modes and controls over white balance, exposure and ISO.
It has a 16mp ISOCELL Samsung sensor at the Rear and 8mp BSI sensor at the Back.
Photos look great if they aren't zoomed in to full size, but lack of
detail in textures and fuzziness around the edges of objects. Focusing is quick
and you can get some nice depth effects, but there were also times while taking
quick shots, they came out blurred. Low-light shots were difficult to get
right, especially if subjects weren't perfectly still. 4K videos came out
decent, though not especially bright or vibrant. Photos taken with the front
camera also came out a bit soft.
HDR is good,
modes works well and panorama produced very good shots .
We have
attached some photos below in AF mode ( with and without flash), Night Mode,
HDR, Macro shot .
Here are some sample shots by LeEco Le 2
SENSORS
Gyroscope, compass, proximity, IR for AC, TV worked well.
Fingerprint works good and pretty fast, it can save upto 5
fingers/prints
PERFORMANCE
Performance in benchmarks was excellent, with 81,445( without
SIM) , 82,414(with sim inserted ) in AnTuTu, 37,845 overall in Quadrant, 8,694 in 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme, and
28fps in GFXBench. There's plenty of power on tap no matter what kind of app
you want to run, and you should be happy for at least a few years. HD and 4K
videos play flawlessly, though sound from the built-in speaker distorts at
higher volumes.We were able to get through a full day with lots of
4G data usage and a bit of gaming as well.

FINAL VERDICT AND CONCLUSION
