LeEco Le 2 Pro - User Reviews

  • I have been using this phone (LE2) for last 2 years, its very good experience for me but now not available in India.

  • Need help .. I updated the software and my phone got stuck in boot.. When I switch on I just boots n gets off and on and continues

  • leeco(letv) bankrupt for a long time, so there are no firmware updates, etc.

  • Leeco tries to conquer the world with several types of products, there makes car, smartphone, chinetflix and more a lot of thing, but does not update them !! Leeco, for all that is most sacred, update the android of this model and other models of smartphones that you have sold, I believe that customers from around the world usually stay 5 years on average with the device they bought, this model is 2016, it should be updated until 2021 (until Microsoft gives 10-year support for the software they launch). It's a shame a Deca Core with 4GB of RAM being on android 6! Launch upgrade to 8.1, One or higher, for everything you believe.

  • ROM 28s is the problem, try return to 26s or update to EUI 30s. This phone is on android 6... The world in 8.1.. sad

  • In 28s not works.

  • Brazil

  • I bought the device shortly after the date of its release, the seller said that it would have android updates and that the brand cared for the customer. However, only upgraded from Android 6 to Android 6 ... Seriously? Even more that the update "28" was an error in Google Apps, I was forced to return to "26" .. Much of the world uses Google Apps, Play Store, and so on. You want to sell your cell phone to the whole world, so it's compatible with the software you want. However, the device did not have time to get old and is already outdated on android 6, while we have the 8 there for several other manufacturers. I have a DecaCore with outdated software. Sad! I had liked the device, wanted to buy and indicate the brand to friends (in fact for some I indicated in the beginning, but when I noticed that it took time to leave the update I did not indicate more), but if they do not pay attention to the customer after the purchase, because I indicate, there's no reason why I buy brand new phablets .. I only change my mind when I leave stable update for the latest version of Android that does not conflict with Google Apps! I only go back to buying and indicating the brand if the company is launching update for their devices more often, or leave google's hand with Android One. I need an updated device compatible with the software available in the world, google apps , not a suite of applications that I do not use in my country and only serves to China.

  • Try removing all permisions from google play store and regranting them, hope it works.

  • What country are you from sir?

  • Best bang for the buck phone. It cost me barely 100 dollars and its performance is really goood.

  • I bought this last January this year, no problem about this phone. Very nice phone. I ordered again now still shipping from Lazada.

  • I have the same problem since December..I hope some one can come up with a reasonable solution or procedure to downgrade back to eui 5.9.26s or 23s..the prob is with 28s

  • I have issue that after new system update in January 2018 , Google play store is not working in my cell . And from this reason i am unable to usey cell properly. I have lost Facebook, whats app and all other apps which i had downloaded from google play store. Any one plz help me out to sort this issue. Thanks in advance.

  • This Phone is really awesome, its so fast and its really a good phone for a cheaper price although the battery gets flat easily but you can fully charge it in just 30 mins. which is great :)

  • You can buy it in LAZADA.

  • I bought leeco le2 pro, x620 EU Stable version. Phone performance is excellent, running very well and smoothly,but......of course there are some major bugs! -camera focus is disaster, need a while time to make a focus, quality of the pictures isn't so good. -default "contacts" app is crashing constantly! Especially when you are attempting to edit or add some contacts name, always appears message "contacts not responding" For it's price phone is ok ;-)

  • good one specifications are good. your review was good.

  • no regret at all, pleased so far

  • Please tell me that you still don't regret for buying or is it arising any problems with battery or software or anything else. Please reply me.

  • Is it available in india or not

  • is this phone available for online purchase ?

  • Super excellent phone super clarity and super features battery also ok

  • HI all I fixed the battery issue. To get the best results do this 1. change screen setting to adaptive. Dont let the screen run at the highest brightness all the time 2. Install Google keyboard and set that as your default keyboard 3. Disable/Force stop the weather app/widget, dont ever use it 4. Disable the default browser and install Chrome and change the default browser to Chrome After I did this my battery last all day. You still have to charge it once a day.(ie when you sleep)

  • overall phone is good! 21mp sensor is amazing! like an iphone camera but u might little disappointed with battery performance. it gives 4 or 5 hours on screen time. i charge my phone twice a day. it has fast charging 3.0 so, I can get at least80% Charing in 30 mins

  • Overheating is normal when its performing tasks or background tasks. It says it in the manual. And it will overheat if you use quick charge.

  • No handsfree is included in this package. I just received the phone here in Australia. Works with Optus 4G. Poor battery but the rest I am happy with.

  • what is the release of phone

  • What is the date release of this phone

  • Can you guys help me about handsfree on this device...??

  • Yes

  • so good

  • What is the launch date in india?

  • Leeco le2 pro

  • yes

  • Mediatek again....not my favorit...

  • good

  • Does it have notification LED light, IR Blaster and what about nougat update?

  • Is nova 3 run in this leeco le 2 pro

  • Well, Delivery depends on which website you order your mobile. Free shipping usually takes 30-60 days but if you pay you can get it within 7-15 days.

  • I want LeEco Le 2 pro Pls show the delivery date.

  • Well, This is what I have been thinking about as well. Letv did not mention anything about any protection in their mobile release day, so due to users FAQs they had posted something in their website (In answering a FAQ) that both (Leeco le 2 and Leeco le 2 Pro) have Corning Gorilla Glass 3. I must say that not all of them, I think some of them got protection and others not. For making sure you have to check your Mobile box.

  • Can you order this phone in Canada

  • Sar EU for this phone?

  • Yes

  • I Love this phone

  • I like this mobile phone but why donot get my area code

  • Is le 2pro have infrared blaster???

  • This phone came with a lot of bloatware which takes some time to get rid of. The battery wasn't lasting much, but then I realised that the Google contacts sync was taking much of it. Also had to install a battery monitor app to realise that the stock keyboard was taking loads of battery (40%of total consumption), but then installed Google keyboard and it's much better. For now it's kind of okay and last the whole day with medium usage with no issues. When I want to go on battery saving settings it finds a bug and stops running, which sucks because I could find nowhere to search for system updates, looks like I will have it always like this. There are other annoying bits, when exploring the menus deep enough I start to find text purely in Chinese. For instance when it goes in "do not disturb mode" I have a notification only in Chinese. The camera seems perfect but it really isn't. it is giving me a bit of distortion which I don't like, and we can't really adjust resolution, so I'm constantly taking 8-10mb pictures. Of course I can install Google camera but then I have the annoying sound of it. The sound of the device is okay, but the vibration feels and sounds very cheap, as in the sense of not solid. I think the software updates is what annoys me the most, today I'd probably go for a 1+ as many friends have then and they have none of these issues with their devices.

  • Hi Le 2 pro users, I am interested in this phone but there are a few things I would really like to know about Le 2 Pro. For those who have it, does it occasionally overheat? I do not make much calls but rather I use the web browser more often, what is the screen on time, can the battery last for a day quite comfortably at medium use? (say if you unplug from socket at 8am while its 100% how much charge will be remaining at 6pm with medium usage?) How is the sunlight visibility and anyone who has experienced hardware issues? Is it comfortable to hold or is it slipperly due to metalic construction?

  • Why u r existing. U buy mi note 3

  • When released in India I am waiting for this mobile, please release soon

  • Hi I bought in China by Aliexpress , I made some search and I think it's the real x25, it's been 3 week's that I have it and I musts say that it's a nice Mobile but I would like a stock Android , the eui it's a little buggy and the ram manager it's not the best, my Nexus 6p flys Whit 3gb of ram. To conclude a stock Android on that hardware would be the perfect Mobile , nearly 100k on antutu , 4gb of ram, nice photos sensors and a nice metal case. Thank you

  • Le 2 FM Is there...

  • yes it is normal,basically you still have the pro version but with a x20 instead of x25

  • Hi, it has happened exactly the same to me. I got it from Amazon (europe) but it was shipped from China, I think I will ask some of my money back. Where did you order it from?

  • Hi I have this mobile and it's a fantastic mobile it outperforms my Nexus 6p, but I have a question normally I bought a le 2 pro, but I think that I have the x20 and not the x25, all the rest I have 4gb of ram and 21mp. Can someone tell me if it's normal?

  • no expandable memory !

  • Hi I have this mobile and it's a fantastic mobile it outperforms my Nexus 6p, but I have a question normally I bought a le 2 pro, but I think that I have the x20 and not the x25, all the rest I have 4gb of ram and 21mp. Can someone tell me if it's normal?

  • I think letv should be used 'the super amoled display' they makes a best phone

  • But Le2 Pro must have a deca core procesessor,,how's that dual core,and quad core?

  • We refer to the official website of the description. CDLA partial Continual Digital Lossless Audio, Chinese name full digital lossless audio. "Unprecedented 3.5mm headphone jack will be canceled, bid farewell to the analog transmission signal bottleneck 3.5mm headphones, analog signals easily avoid interference caused by headphones noise; Channel Separation difference caused by poor-quality stereo; and a mobile phone with a headset is not easy match result can not release all the emotion sound. the phone will be in the process of transferring audio codec to Type-C digital headphones, 3.5mm headphone jack across bottleneck, truly pure digital phone to headset lossless music transfer and bring you beyond the perception of mobile music soothing. " So complex and literary descriptions, summarized as 3.5 mm headphone port is XX, the decoding process is placed into the headphone which is the right way. We think this describes a lot of problems. 3.5 mm headphone port never signal transmission bottlenecks, resolution-independent external decoder built, the so-called full digital CDLA is not in the true sense, it is non-destructive nonsense, before we tested music, as the phone has internal SRC, this is detrimental to the process, and this process does not disappear because CDLA. CDLA is nothing new, PC platform, there have been more than a decade, Taobao minimum for only $ 30 USB headset called CDLA meet this standard. A difference is made into a USB port C. Why mobile phones can do this? Why mobile phones can play music via USB? The answer is very simple, because the mobile phone operating system built into the standard USB Audio driver library, as long as the standard USB Audio devices are working properly, they are also commonly referred to as "free drive XX". As long as the headset is placed in such a USB audio controller chip, it can become a so-called "all-digital headset." Supports standard USB Audio chip a lot, as they sound vastly different, rather than what "lossless", a difference of the reason is because the different losses. Before many domestic mobile phone does not attach importance to this, the system is optimized to the driver library "optimization" off, so most users do not know the interface can also be a USB headset. The international brands such as Samsung, Sony, etc., then no problem. Music, as do so-called CDLA, this library is certainly essential. SONY Sony MDR-1ADAC Headset [integrated USB Decoder] -Galaxy S6 Edge Sony MDR-1ADAC can be driven and works through the phone's USB port, through different data lines, it can access the iPhone's USB A port work Lightning port and the PC / MAC. 1ADAC essentially a USB headset, cable access via different interfaces among various devices. CDLA is a flicker CDLA is the concept of coin, and not new, it is ten years old and the leftovers. 3.5 mm jack is not impossible to remove, because the manufacturer can be made thin body, waterproof and so on all kinds of reasons to get rid of this jack, remove the 3.5 mm port phone is not without precedent. But he insisted that the mouth is the sound quality bottleneck, CDLA required to replace, it is purely nonsense, suddenly, we seem to understand CDLA and "nonsense friends" relationship.

  • Hi, i want to purchase this phone. its good or not plz tell me i will purchase or not

  • does it support VoLTE.?

  • It contains usb type C to 3.5 mm audio convertor in the box. So you can use normal earphones.

  • Rear camera will be good bcoz they have used Sony imx 230 sensor which is used in lenovo vibe x3,moto x.these two phones produce very crispy images. We can use all types of headset with these phone As they are providing separate connector to connect your 3.5 mm headphone with type c port For more info read review of le 2 on letvmart Facebook page

  • plz adevise me i buy le 2 pro .. no idea any mobile future.. plz share your experience....thanks

  • Can you please advice where to buy it? I scared to buy at ali, there is rose front panel, is it original?

  • Means it's deca-core. 10 cores to optimize battery consumption when phone's not in use.

  • How is the results of LeEco 2 Pro camera(both front and back)?? LeEco 2 Pro doesn't support other headset like,sony headset, nokia headset, samsung headset etc??

  • All of them it's a deca core processor

  • what CPU in? Dual-core 2.3 GHz Cortex-A72 & quad-core 2 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 which of all these CPU??

  • Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, WiFi Direct, hotspot ?????

  • Just go to Aliexpress, buy there

  • they will provide a seperate wire for your 3.5 mm head jack which can directly connect with usb type-c.

  • How can I buy this in the United States? Can't find it anywhere.

  • No 3.5mm audio jack? Sorry LeEco (LeTv) this phone in not for me!

  • This thing has basically gone MIA after the release of the initial 1000 units.

  • No expandable memory card slot & no 3.5mm audio jacks are the biggest regrets I have over the recent LeEco Le2 series phones. If they came armed with this two weapons, there is no holding back and LeEco could have wiped the slate clean in our country.

  • No expandable memory card slot not even a hybrid sim slot :(

  • You are a kid out there so tightly attached to 3.5 mm audio port. Grow up and embrace the changes. I am not a person to give hate words like you. Technology is as it is. You may be LeEco hater but I am a great fan of LeEco's devices. I have ordered a Le Max 2. I am tech.pro

  • Now I am absolutely certain you know nothing about audio and how it works in phones. You claim leeco's CDLA tech is better, provides better audio quality yet you are unable to give us a single reason as of why it is better. You also claim the LeEco headphones are better than regular 3.5mm jack headphones when it comes to audio quality, yet you do not know anything about the hardware used in them. I wonder if are a kid who have never left home and claims to know everything, or a LeEco sales rep, or just a schmuck. Hence I have decided to stop posting against your meaningless posts. You may write what ever bull*hit against this post but expect no reply. However for your own benefit, I am providing a link to a famous audiophile oriented Chinese website as LeEco's are also Chinese. In their post Soomal (now you may not know respected Soomal.com is in their country) have said the CDLA tech is a nonsense and a stupid move in smartphones with regards to audio quality: (Use google translate to read it)

  • You seem to like 3.5 mm jack too much. You even don't know about LeEco's CDLA and you are posting negative remarks about it. Chipset's default audio codec is just a general idea. Why don't you search for DACs inside LeEco gen. 2 phones? And for quality, get a gen. 2 LeEco phones and compare yourself. As for more $100, will you get same quality in case 1 phones? You end up in compromise.

  • What are the dimensions and the weight?? And Does it films in 4K?

  • You have still not answered the most elusive question... What advantages in sound quality does LeEco's CDLA tech bring over regular 3.5mm audio jack smartphones? Regarding use of additional audio adapter to plugin existing 3.5 mm headphones, it is heartening to find out LeEco have gone downtrend in using the crappy internal audio codecs from MediaTek & Snapdragon chipsets for their Le 2 Pro & high-end Le Max 2. After all their predecessors Le 1 Pro and Le Max used to come with a heavily modified discrete ESS Sabre 9018Q2C (DAC + headphone amplifier) package with superlative sound quality. So as per your information Le 2 Pro & Le Max 2 now produces crappy audio output through this adapter, hence all existing 3.5mm headphones are also going to sound crappy. Very sad. :"( Do you really think taking out a quality DAC & headphone amplifier package from the phone makes for a better design? And yes cramming the same DAC & headphone amplifier inside their headphones also makes a better headphone design?..... LOL ... After all the 3.5mm jack was never the bottleneck with regards to sound quality in phones. Let me give you an example of the overall expenses over a tenure of three years: 1) Let say a good branded phone cost you $160. You add quality DAC + Headphone amplifier with 3.5mm audio jack in it at an additional $20, total phone price becomes 160 + 20 = $180. Now, say a quality headphone costs $40. Now due to heavy usage say your headphones last for 6 months. Over a tenure of 3 years, total expenditure = 180 + (40 X 6) = $420 2) LeEco wants you to buy their headphones, so they take the $20 worth of DAC + Headphone amplifier out from their phone and stuffs it inside their headphone. So they are able to save $20 on their phone as it now sells at just $160. But now their headphones are more expensive with the audio hardware stuffed in it, ends up at 40 + 20 = $60 price tag. Over a tenure of 3 years, your total expenditure = 160 + (60 X 6) = $520 Heck, you end up spending $100 dollars more with LeEco phones on the long run!!!! It may be a great marketing policy by LeEco to suck money from us, but a very bad deal for us end consumers. Personally I least care about internal crappy audio codecs inside MediaTek and Snapdragon chipsets. But yeah... I do know some discrete DACs & headphone amplifiers used in audio centric smartphones with formidable audio performance. DACs: 1) ESS Sabre ES9018 2) ESS Sabre ES9028 3) Cirrus Logic CS4398 4) AKM 4375 Headphone Amplifiers: 1) Analog Devices AD45257 2) Analog Devices ADA4896 3) Texas Instuments OPA1612 4) Texas Instuments OPA2604 5) ESS Sabre ES9601 6) ESS Sabre ES9603 7) Maxim MAX97220 So can you kindly reveal us a little more about the DAC used inside LeEco headphones which you claim is of very high quality?

  • As you said every MediaTek (not MideaTek) or Snapdragon chip sets come with internal audio codecs, you will have no problem to use the audio adapter to plugin 3.5 mm headphone in Le 2 , Le 2 Pro and Le Max 2. You do NOT NEED to buy LeEco's Type-C headphone. Even if you want a Type-C headphone, there are lots of manufacturers out there manufacturing Type-C headphone. Each of them has inbuilt DAC in itself. You can get any one of them. Better design and more space for other component in phone is better than having a dedicated 3.5 mm jack in phone. By the way, can you mention the DAC model no. found in MediaTek and Snapdragon processors?

  • Your point is valid in that while using the 3.5mm audio jack the final sound quality will drastically vary from phone to phone with the SAME HEADPHONE. This is because different phones have different audio hardware architectures built in it which results in different sound qualities. An audiophile centric phone will have discrete DACs and headphone amplifiers resulting to superlative sound quality through 3.5mm audio jack while another phone may end up using the internal crappy audio codec that comes with every Snapdragon or MideaTek chipsets. But with recent trio of LeEco phones, we are in trouble the other way. As these phones comes with no in-built audio hardware which gives the desired sound quality, the final sound quality will now drastically vary from headphone to headphone with the SAME PHONE. If only an audiophile headphone manufacturer ever in their craziest dreams think of making a headphone for LeEco, we can end up with amazing sound quality. But that is not the case as we are all stuck with a very limited number of headphone options that LeEco will provide to us on their mercy. So we are stuck in their eco-system and do not have our freedom of choice. Whenever we buy their phone, we have to now buy their headphone. And as you say LeEco perform all digital-to-analog conversions themselves with inbuilt high quality DAC inside their headphones, may we know the make or the model no. of this DAC? After all how do you know it is of high quality? Just by reading their marketing jargon's? And now as the DACs come inside the LeEco headphones they become even more expensive than similar quality 3.5mm headphones. I am still not able to understand from your explanations how LeEco was able to improve the sound quality with their CDLA tech over conventional 3.5mm audio jack? The only change that I can see is they have moved the DAC from inside the phone to their headphones so that they can sell both their products and garner more profit.

  • 3.5 mm jack has not been bottle neck but the quality of sound you hear in your headphone differs from phone to phone even with same headphone. With USB Type-C headphones, they directly take digital input and perform all conversions themselves with inbuilt high quality DAC. This will help them to output more quality sound. LeEco has developed CDLA for better sound processing.

  • I want to buy this phone where can I avail this? Im from Philippines :)

  • How come a USB Type-C port with CDLA transmission tech have better sound quality than a 3.5mm audio jack? After all the 3.5mm audio jack have never been the bottleneck in regards to sound quality on mobile phones. So what advantages does LeEco brings with this tech?

  • Type-C 1.0 is latest tech used as Power & Headphone

  • Yes, it has audio port. It gives high quality music output from USB Type-C port using LeEco's Continuous Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) which is better than current audio port.

  • It has high quality music output from USB Type-C port using LeEco's Continuous Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) which is better than current systems.

  • I think they have earphones that can go through usb. i hope so.

  • can sum1 tell, if they have sold dis phn in China on Tuesday.. why there arent any review out yet..???

  • Very disappointing thing is that their is no audio jack.It's very difficult for day to day life...

  • Does it have gorila glass

  • Yes, this phone also lacks 3.5mm audio jack and outputs audio through usb.

  • is it very hard (read: costly) to make a max 5.2" display? after then the body will not exceeds 14.7 cm length?...hmmm curious.

  • Can any once confim is this once of those phone which has audio out put via usb port

  • no jack no thanks

  • To me the LeEco's are audioless phones as they comes devoid of any analog audio hardware. They are in reality saving money on these phones by omitting the implementation of expensive DACs and headphone amplifier chips in the phone. They are basically routing the digital audio straight from the cpu to the usb out. To market they need a colorful name, so we get CDLA bullshit tech. And to prove this point even further they are not revealing any details of the audio chips used inside their headphones.

  • If battery is of 4000 mh and it support memory card than it will prove better than redmi note 3

  • WTF!!!!!!!....no audio jack......

  • it will be killer of redmi note 3 pro as well as other brand.

  • If battery mAh increase and removable then device be perfect .

  • Hope they price it correctly.
