LeEco Le S3 - User Reviews

  • Get one of those cordless charging setups with a pad you keep plugged into the type C USB port and tucked between the back of the phone and the case. Then you pop it on the base to charge. I picked one up for $10 on ebay for both bits. Leaving the charge pad plugged into your phone acts a plug to stop dirt and dust etc from getting in the charge port as well.

  • thank you for you inconvenience

  • Does this Let s3 remotely charge with out a chord I've gone threw 8 chords since I got this phone what gives?

  • Thank you for sharing this post.

  • I've been using the phone for almost a year. It did the same as yours once -- looks dead but there's a red LED lit. Won't charge or respond to anything. A YouTube video suggested a battery pull (you have to take the phone apart to do that since it has a non-removeable battery), but I was able to bring mine back by just removing the SIM card. Then it would boot again, and it never has locked up again. I found out that trick when I went to pull my SIM to put it in my old phone since this one was locked up, and Voila! it worked again!

  • I used the phone (x526). It's really nice. The design is classy. The cons are the battery life. For a phone with such camera quality and processor, the battery is a little behind and needs upgrade. And the Android 6 is kind of getting obsolete, and it can't be upgraded to Android 7. I think all the LEeco brands run on Android 6

  • Hi I just had a new one but the default language is in Chinese how can I change everything in it to English

  • I bought one and I had it for about a year but once I left it charging as usual and It turned off and never came back to life again. I lost all the information and data on it. I took it to the service here in Mexico and they suspected a problem with the battery, they said there are very few parts for this kind of phone. I liked too much but unfortunatly it last very little.

  • Just bought one. Camera is not so good. Battery life is moderate

  • Very Nice Post... Thank you

  • that's a known issue with the cable. all that you need to do is to purchase a new usb-c cable and charge the phone all night. It's a good and cheap phone. can handle mobile games.

  • How to update this device?

  • i just bought mine today and the charger cable and cord is bad, the worst of it all the phone was actually dead wen i bought it

  • Please help us upgrade to Android 8 for I phone

  • To upgrade Android, this phone will be 8

  • I've been using this phone almost a year now, and I'm really satisfied with it, running Pixel Experience Pie with Gcam, make this phone one of the best cheap phone I ever had. Some people had problem with Volte after running custom rom and it's one of the problem with the modem from original firmware. Want the best experience? Get a custom rom.

  • Hi, Thanks for your good site, it's best to give the site visitors information about the amount of sar radiation in this phone's .

  • Worked Perfect for a couple of days then the buit in message app crashed and the phone became unusable had to wipe it then avoided opening the messaging app for a while then it crashed again had to wipe the phone a 3rd time before i decided to install a custom rom

  • Been using almost 1 year , my phone is still running without any issues . Even after been dropped a few times , still working well. Probably hundred thousand others also still using the phone.

  • Heed my warning DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE Honestly cannot run games. Camera is BAD. So many issues with apps. Whenever I turn the phone off, i cannot type my password for about 2 hours so it stays locked and you have to wait

  • Optimizing apps would only take about 15 minutes. Try do a factory restore . With the phone in powered off state , press/hold volume up+power buttons until you get to recovery menu. Then choose clear data option.

  • I wouldnt want to use a curse word but can you people explain why this phone stays hours optimizing? i just bought it and i am about to regret it. what exactly is it optimizing for Gods sake

  • Hi i also had the same issue. The problem with that charger cable comes with that original package . I bought a new USB TYPE C - QC 3.0 ( quick charge 3.0 cable ) now its charging well . i dint have any issue with charger. i only changed cable ( cable should be quality one ). Search google or ebay for " USB TYPE C - QC 3.0 cable"

  • Charges your phome to pc in 5minutes

  • Hi i bought this phone from EFOX , two weeks ago. The phone wont start. The charging red led is on for about tree days and it not charge to green light. The power button or power with +volume button wont start the phone like it is dead. I contact the efox service. They wont to have video off the problem. There is a few days and they did not answered? The phone sucks! Anyone to help resolve problem? Thanks

  • Is it the same as the X522?

  • I can't hear when I make calls with my Leeco LeS3 phone. The receiver too can't hear. I have flashed the phone and also changed the ear and mouth piece but still isn't working. Any advise please?

  • Hello All, please can anyone help me on how to solve problem of restarting in my pocket .. I checked and if the power button is pressed fro 9 seconds, it is autocratically shutdown. if there any solution for this ? in setting or any other solution. really appreciate any help.

  • How did you unbrick it? I have spend around one month with the device in a box, tried one method at xda developers, but one step was just pure luck, it would not work for me

  • Do you have the link for Eui 5.9.020s rom (X626) ? I'm looking for unmodified official update.zip.

  • Buy RO purifier, RO filte system, water purification system anywhere in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujirah, Ras Al Khama etc in UAE

  • Le S3 X626 (helio x20) is a beast! Super hardware, but bad software. Started with lot for freezes and chinese bloatware, so I decided to re-soft it. After I've spent 10 days testing all kind of roms (stock or custom) and android versions - bricked it (redlight) twice, lol, I got the best results with 5.9.020S stock one/android 6.01. Works like a charm, no freezes, no bloatware, TWRP, the Sony 21M pixel camera gets super HD picts, Antutu benchmark 105.000, passes SafetyNet. The only problem (working on it) is how to get stereo on my bluetooth earphones (not on USB) w/o root it.

  • Bought this phone in Aug 2017. It worked well for a while. I enjoyed the fast speed and the great selfie shots. The back camera was good but shots in low light were just so-so. I'm a heavy user when it comes to productivity tools but not much when it comes to gaming. For the productivity, it's top notch! However, recently (about a month ago while the phone is just 10 months old) I started experiencing some known issues i.e. freezing and a long rebooting time. Recently, it stopped receiving cell signal. Because of these, I find that it's time to switch. For the price I paid, I'm not sure if it's a good investment though. I expected it to last at least for a year and several months without any major issues.

  • Thanks for your help.

  • Thanks for sharing the list. Do you think directory submission is still useful? I have read that it will not help in increasing search engine ranking

  • I had same issue of freeze/reboot , last week i updated to 5.9.023s firmware. Never had any problems since then .Now even youtube,snapchat working fine. Go to Its easy , just follow the instructions.

  • Same us mine the version. Of my le s3 is 5.8 many says i need to update the version from 5.8 to 5.9 but how can i do that , i dont know step by step procedure i cant understand how they do that in youtube

  • Links to official stock Letv/LeEco roms here , Just make sure to its the correct firmware for your phone model.

  • You need to find what model your phone is like x522 or x626 or whatever, then look for it at xdadevelopers and you can find new update 5.8.0.28s

  • I have LeeEco Le2 bought in oct. 2016. I am trying to find the newer version of sys, but not able to get it. the existing version is 6.0.1 and EUI ver is 5.8.019s(stable). Is newer version available and if yes how can i get it?

  • Anyone tried connecting pairing to a ANT+ device? According to this app , , the phone seems to have ANT+ built-in hardware. It would be great if someone can confirm that.

  • If you are still looking for it, the AI version is for around that price, I just found the Le Max 2 on sale for $159 on geekbuying, great deal for the buck since that phone was for around $200 before.

  • What version are you using x626 or x522

  • From xda site ,

  • Device is very good, exceptionally good for the price, I also have the phone for 5 months, however I had an issue with Whatsapp due to EMUI always killing it background, I was able to fix it installing a custom rom CUOCO, however now Facebook got issues and freezes, anyone know if MIUI on the x626 works fine with the IR blaster now or where can I find the stock rom to go back to? By the way, device is totally worth buying it! It delivers way more than expected for the price, can easily beat almost all $200 phones there are out so far

  • There's more than 1 version of Le Pro 3. The x72x series are qualcomm sd821 powered , the x65x series are mtk helio x23/x27. IMO only the sd821 version is worth to upgrade to.

  • Hey RileyM, do you think upgrading to a LeEco Pro 3 would be a good idea? I have the S3 and I think the Pro 3 looks attractive at $145 right now.

  • I purchased the Le Eco S3 on its first day of release toward the end of 2016. I have been using it everyday since as my only phone. A phone that cost $149 will last me at least 2 years that have exceeded expectations. The phone looks and feels pretty good, most people confuse it with an HTC phone at first glance, I have the silver one. It has been a great phone for the money. Decent battery life still with super fast charging. Apps work well for the most part, will explain. But performance is good, and has been so for the last 18 months. Someone else mentioned the permission problem with screen overlay under the Pro3, and this is an aggravation for sure. For me, it hasn't happened with any apps I have to have/use or it would've been a deal breaker. Everything that I use, from Whatsapp, GPS, games, and so forth all work well. Everyday speed in comparing to same/similar apps to my wife's iPhone 6, they're on par. Obviously the iPhone has a better camera and other things going for it, but for everyday performance they have been very similar. Perhaps I just got a good one, or perhaps the vast majority that have had good experiences like myself haven't commented. I feel the phone, and the brand in general is low risk and high reward due to the pricing.

  • Thanks for sharing this information with us, i always like to read these articles, cool..! I always like to read such information regarding that topic so please keep it up and keep sharing.. Specifications

  • Hotsprice| Best search compare and buying sites in India where you compare lots of product in single place Lowest Price Mobile

  • 5 month of owning the x626 version,the phone is impressive.

  • Try to update all the applications on your phone.

  • That used to happen to me, I got it fixed by updating google play service, hope it helps :)

  • Switch sim 1/sim 2 in dual sim management -> data connection. No need to physically swap sim slots. Just want to be clear on that part.

  • Find reset APN option and reset APN. It's in dual sim management. Then turn off data, deactivate both sim and reboot. After reboot , dont turn on data first, reset APN again. Then switch sim 1 and sim 2 a few times. If it doesnt freeze then turn on data.

  • I bought my phone from gearbeast and i have the x626 4g and ive hard reset it and still freezes and reboots. Any help?

  • Thank you because of this fantastic details. This kind of submit is quite beneficial to almost all people. Thank you any regarding revealing this kind of great write-up........NISM Mock Test

  • Don't let battery go down to 1% , it's not good practice. The battery lifespan will be reduced. Charge before it drops to 1%.

  • Hold power button for 10 seconds to force restart , even when phone freezes and screen is blank you can force restart.

  • OK try this... Get your phone down to 1% battery then put in to charge on your computer NOT THE ORIGINAL CHARGER the computer then overload your RAM open youtube set brightness to highest and just wait. If I'm correct when the phone is about to die you won't be able to control your screen instead the screen will do random things and pressing wherever is pressable. If you find yourself in this situation I would suggest unplugging the phone and letting it die. I hope this isn't only my phone so I will be thrilled to see your answers

  • After hard reset it can take a while for the phone to settle things down. But you can try uninstall and reinstall those apps that are giving problems. I don't use Snapchat but others like WhatsApp ,telegram etc work fine.

  • I hard reseted my phone, and now it works fine but sometimes apps like snapchat can freeze and close then i have to go to app management and force stop it

  • No front flash but performs well in low light . And main camera is 21mp Sony exmor rs (Le s3 CN version). And can record 4K UHD videos.

  • does this front camera have selfie light.. Morpheus tv apk

  • Possibly due to the Google play services update . This was what I did , 1. Goto settings>accounts , remove Google account. 2. Goto app management , scroll to Google play services. Uninstall updates , then clear all app data. Reboot phone and add back Google account. Now my phone is working well again. Another way is to reset to factory defaults , but it will remove all accounts and downloaded apps .

  • This is my honest opinion. This phone WAS great and worked beatifully... Until now. This phone keeps rebooting freezing and now it takes like 10min to start i havent downloaded any virus apps or anything. Is there a fix or is this perm. I Have the x626 4gb ram 64gb storage and its from gearbeast. This phone was a treasure before but now it let me down. reply if u got any fixes

  • Sometimes its not the phone but rubbish app that user installs , like what happens to some of my friends .They buy other brand phones but face same problem.

  • I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this rubbish phone. After 3 months of use. Phone hangs like hell. Just to open contacts or vuew

  • You might also need to clear cache and clear data for the YouTube app , in settings>app management .

  • Go to Settings>App Management>Installed Apps , find Google Play services .Select manage storage option , clear cache and storage . Hope it solves ur problem.

  • When I use apps like YouTube or Snapchat it restarts the how do I fix it.

  • Be that because it might, having aforesaid that, there likewise come back a good deal various school problems with it that has to be settled with the help of a specialist like US United Nations agency have apparently the foremost ideal learning

  • thnx brother for sharing such a great information. i will keep on visiting your site. but i need a phone better than this one but in same price range. kinfly reply me on my site. Geo Urdu News

  • They are testing Nougat update , . Le Max 2 has already received beta release.

  • Will this phone ever receive update?

  • Searh the online sellers , eg ebay, aliexpress .

  • pls I need the screen touch mine got broken..where can in purchase it. I've searched all sites

  • Indeed it will work with Tracfone, however I am not entirely sure if it supports both AT&T and TMO bands of 4G LTE, so I can tell u it will work on at least 3G, regarding getting LTE is another story, depends on the bands, but it may be possible

  • Once your battery is down to 0% again charge it up at least 50% then do a Factory Reset then test it again. Search on Google how to. If same issue, its really hardware issue.

  • Does this phone work with tracfone

  • Thanks for providing some useful details that’s are going to groom your knowledge.

  • Short review of Le S3 Mtk helio (X626 model) after 1 month use. On first day , it had lags/freeze/hang issues , and even rebooted few times. Later at night i performed a full factory reset and .... Wow , no more lags or freeze . It's fast and smooth when starting apps or switching apps , no stuttering or lags . Battery life is also good , lasting a whole day under normal usage (no games or watching videos, just email,whatsapp and browsing). Display is very nice , can see clearly even outdoors in daylight. At RM450 , its really best value for money.

  • valentines I bought my LeEco le s3 last two weeks from jumia online. At first the phone is a nice phone with good features, valentines day 2018 quotes

  • I had some issue after inserting 2nd sim card , lost signal on both sim .I did factory reset and suddenly everything goes back normal. I suggest anyone having issues to try do factory reset first .BTW I'm on 5.0.018s(Stable) rom.

  • I was using two Sims on the device and I have not updated the OS, I had absolutely no issue with it, try switching the Sim card place, maybe that helps.

  • Why don't you simply use an otg adapter and expand it that way, add sdcard reader, usb flash drive, external hdd even with its oen power supply... And there is also cloud storage option too

  • It happens to mee to, whenever i insert the 2nd sim card it starts rebooting on its own, goes into 3 or 4 bootloops then starts normally, and after some time it freezes and i have to force reboot it. Tried: 5.8.0.18s EU rom, 5.9.0.23s, 5.9.0.26s Immidiatelly after removing the 2nd sim, after few more reboots it comes back to normal operation. Any ideas what might be wrong?

  • Hello. I just got the version X626 two days ago, phone looks gorgeous and feels good, when I turned the device on I had issues device freezed suddently, after looking a bit, I found the solution is just updating Google Play Services which I did and phone is fantastic, I used a Huawei phone before so EUI is not a problem for me, however I got today an error it freezed again, when I was playing music at Spotify and opened Messenger, I have no idea if it just one time or maybe I should look into installing another OS, what can you guys recommend? Oh also for battery issues, I get very good SOT, just lower screen brightness, phone still manages to look nice at around 25% and you get very good battery life.

  • Good eve. My LeECO le s3 is having an issue in d sense dat, whenever i put on my data, the network bar goes empty and the phone will hang, causing it to reboot automatically, after rebooting, the network bar will be empty showing no network. Pls wat might be d cause. Thanks.

  • I bought my LeEco le s3 last two weeks from jumia online. At first the phone is a nice phone with good features, is just 2 weeks old. The problem am witnessing now is that whenever i put on my data, the network bar goes empty nd d phone will hang and automatically reboot itself, when it finish rebooting the network bar will be empty showing me no network. Please what may be the problem. Thanks for ur response.

  • update your software. I have 7-8 hrs SOT and if its standby I get 1 day and 22hrs

  • Me too. battery couldn't last for 1 day use.but other features are superb!!

  • I have bought this phone and just wanted to ask if the radiation levels are ok?

  • I have the mediatek version of this device with 4gb ram and deca core processor... My issue is the battery... It discharges too fast even when not being in use. Is it just me or is anyone else having the same issue

  • The biggest disappointment of this phone is the storage. 32GB internal memory and no SD Card slot. Seriously?

  • Can this cell phone work in Dominican republic

  • go to download, open download setings, set download setinggs to no limit

  • Hi, I got the phone and it's nice. However, I've not been able to download except over wifi. I went to downloads to reset it to 'no limits' but there are no options except 'download over wifi only'. Is this how every other person's own is? Or it's mine alone

  • LeEco Le S3, i used it for almost one year, it still work fine, the advantage is that the body not heat while you charging and play games. the disadvantage is that the storage is not big enough for me, cause i always download a lot of movies in my phone

  • LeEco Le S3, i used it for almost one year, it still work fine, the advantage is that the body not heat while you charging and play games. the disadvantage is that the storage is not big enough for me, cause i always download a lot of movies in my phone

  • God bless you dear. Over 3 weeks now I have been battling the same itch. Solved now

  • Yes they do

  • I have been using it for a couple of days and sometimes it's really annoying the EUI which is crashing a lot. I know that it should be more stable than that. At least 3-4 apps crash each day. Little dissapointed.

  • Please i want to know wheather leECO phones supports nigeria sim, because i just made an order for the phone.

  • Just a month now. I went to repair but they don't have the replacement screen. I need to know where I could get one in Nigeria or I have to order and that will take time.

  • Please how long have you been using the phone?

  • Hello, I'm enjoying this phone but unfortunately I cracked the screen. Does someone have idea where I could get it fixed? I will appreciate

  • just go to download and set to no limit

  • I dont know what happened to my s3..It suddenly became hot ,failed to recognise fingerprint but later did.suddenly displayed that system not responding if to wait or cancel and i choose wait.since hours it hasnt comeup.it shuts automatically blank.What should i do next?

  • As ever GSM see what the others don't. Both Digital Trends and CNET are warning people off of this phone with things like horrible GUI and no 3.5 jack, no SD slot. Geeze, I just got the 4/64 GB version and it rocks. For £100!!! It benches above s6/Moro G5. No 3.5mm??? I got awesome Bluetooth headphones for $25 on Amazon. 65gb is fine for me! Its lightning fast and I can control my TV/kodi/Xbox One from same device. Are they from the 90's?

  • Please how did you uodate it, been struggling with mine

  • I have had this phone for 3 months and in many ways it outperforms my iPhone 6s plus. I paid $130 for it brand new and my iPhone $750. Great investment

  • Phone is just wow. Only issue I'm having is not being able to download or update via play store on cellular data. Always requires WiFi. This is sort of frustrating. Anyone knows how I can solve this?

  • Autonomous, or perhaps self-driving, cars are invariably very anticipated in the automotive small business. These particularly desirable cars have been completely a purpose of automakers for years. The reasoning behind being able to relax together with play games in the driver's seat rather then focus out of the office seems a little bit farfetched. techn2k17t

  • The phone is lovely, works perfectly and haven't experienced any of the complaints y'all are experiencing. I have had it for about a month now. Very good phone especially for its price.

  • Update your Google play services. It will stop rebooting

  • Please how do download larger files using mobile data? I can only do using wifi now

  • I just ordered the phone .but after reading all this I think I'll cancel it

  • It doesn't charge sometimes when I plug my Le S3 into a charger. It requires a restart when that happens. Notifications turn off by default after a specific time after turning off the screen. This results in missed calls, messages and email notifications. However, alarms work well. Battery life is extended when the screen brightness is lower.

  • the phone just arrived looking promising. i was overjoyed but only for a short while. i enjoyed the phone for just two days. it started rebooting on it's own. can't even make a single call. i've put in for a refund. it's really bad. my candid advice is to run. don't even think about it. it's beautiful for nothing. the manufacturers should go back and fix the issues. meanwhile they should hold off selling to unsuspecting and innocent people.

  • Check Aliexpress

  • I just found the phone at geekbuying, they have the x626 version at 126 dolars with 4 ram and 64GB storage

  • From an online store (Jumia) in Nigeria. It was however shipped in from overseas.

  • where did you buy your phone?

  • I'm surprised that no one is talking about the LED. I just got delivery of the 4g RAM, 21mp spec. I like every other thing about the phone but its LED that's emitting a yellow light unlike my other phones that emit fluorescent light. It spoils the camera and cannot even be used as a torch.

  • You Should Buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x

  • Have acquired the phone just recently. The unit I got is LeEco X626 with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of Storage (28GB free) Battery is ample for me, for 3000mah on standby for three hours, battery percentage just go down from 100% to 98% (Full Brightness) Build is impressive as this is an all metal build. Well designed for me based on using it my hand although I'm still adjusting my grip to it as I do have not-so-small hands. My worry with regards to this unit are force restarts if the phone hangs up as I am used to phones with removable battery, that's what I usually do. Currently transitioning to this; "removable to non-removable", although I like the device very much as the device is quite slim (7.5mm). Camera is quite good as far as the ones I've tested. (IPhone 5S, Asus Zenfone Go and XRN4X) SOT with WIFI ON would be 8-9 hours depending on what is displayed on the screen SOT with DATA ON would be 6-7 hours for gaming. Quick Charge really delivers what it should be, got 60% in about 25-30mins. Using N Launcher as the default launcher as this allows me to hide those chinese bloat ware apps as those can't be uninstalled unless you root the phone. Disabled all unnecessary apps already, as for now this review is just preliminary. Currently device is under observation as I have just updated its OS to the latest one which was 5.9.x.x Stable. Hoping for this device to last the worth it was purchase. PS. Device was purchased from LAZADA for 5000PHP or 100$ more or less. Comment Section Philippines

  • Isnt it has 21mp rear camera and 8mp front camera running 4 gbs of rm with 10 core

  • The design is, well, interesting...

  • From where did you buy that snapdragon 636 with 4 gig ram version? please provide any link available. thanks

  • Hi! your post is very nice. thanks for sharing Belkin setup

  • Pls. Try to add radio to the functions of the phone

  • I bought the X626 version of this Smartphone, it only differs in the CPU and RAM: it has a Deca-core Mediatek Helio X20 and 4 GB. My opinion: -Build Quality: it's awesome. The aluminium frame is perfectly designed and it doesn't have a single defect. Gorilla Glass 3 makes it scratchproof and the touch feeling is smooth as silk. -Screen: My previous phone had a Full HD IPS screen, just like the LeEco. But this one's way better: you can see the screen perfectly even under heavy sunlight. Image quality and touch response are brilliant. -Performance: no lag, the apps open in a fraction of a second, downloads are very fast and 3D games run perfectly. Nothing more to say. -Sound: I don't need to increase the volume more than 75% because it's so loud I don't enjoy it. And although being loud, the speaker doesn't distort. Dolby Atmos helps a lot when you use headphones. -Battery: It lasts a whole day without charging. Honestly, why do you need more? At the end of the day, you will get back home, and if not, you will take your charger with you. Charges from 20% to 60% in about 20 minutes. -Fingerprint sensor: it recognizes my finger instantly in every position. -Camera: it takes very good photos with both cameras. Being a powerful smartphone helps a lot. Dark photos are a weak point but not as weak as other smartphones i have used. So would I recommend it? Of course! You will love it so much!

  • For how much I bought it for, around 100 dollars, it's an excellent phone it does tend to freeze up sometimes but it'll restart and it OK again you have to look at what you are getting for a hundred bucks, snapdragon 636 processor, full HD 401ppi display, type c USB with quick charging, battery is good but with the quick charge impressive, and mine came with 4gigs of ram not 3.

  • Does this fone have radio fm? I like listening to news on the go.

  • My previous phone was smashed and since i use it for work i needed a cheap replacement quick. First thoughts; - It works and isnt total garbage. - The sync cable included is a complete waste, why bother with a USB-C if it's just going to be 1.0 and take HOURS to charge?? Get the type 3.0 and charge in minutes. - There is no expansion slot - every smartphone has an expansion slot! How do you add frills but omit something that basic? Was thrilled to see 32GB but when i can't pop in my 32GB microSD... well that isn't very helpful. It's a cheap smartphone, can use the phone and text, totally adequate. Just don't think you're getting something extraordinary for the price, it's just worth what you paid

  • May I ask whether this mobile phone can be used when I travel to other countries like, USA and Canada : It seems, but I need to confirmed I need not to buy or bring extra phone every time I traveled cause it is bulky and weight. Here are the mobile specs of Bell Phone in Canada. 2G CDMA 850/1900 EVDO 850/1900 3G (and some cases 4G) HSDPA 850/1900 HSPA+ 850/1900 UMTS 850/1900 WCDMA 850/1900 1x EV-DO CDMA2000 4G LTE 1700 Thanks .

  • The phone comes with a clear case, and a pre installed screen protector. Nice touch from the manufacturer. Overall a very nice phone for the money. Hopefully it will get updated to latest version of Android. I'm sure it can be rooted.

  • The very best cost-effective Chinese phone in 2016 and maybe still in 2017! I have the LEX626 which has 4GB RAM and 21MP Omnivision image sensor. Great design, variant color option, and really affordable price. It's a thief for this much performance. The Helio X20 (10 cores!!!) chip has a 97.000 Antutu score on my device. You won't find a better one for $140 (brand new). /// Read more /// Camera: I switched from iOS 11 (i6s Plus) and man, this phone's camera is amazing! It's got a f/2.0 aperture at the rear and f/2.2 8MP sensor at the front (don't worry, seriously, my iPhone selfies are far away in quality and resolution and depth from those what I took with this phone). I would judge this rear lens for the very best one camera solution bokeh monster! It's insane! You still have little round bokeh in the background if you focus from 1.5meters far from you! Very good built! The only thing what is missing (or not always working, still confused after using it for a month as a daily driver) that it doesn't always have GPS metadata in the JPG. Sometimes it loses the GPS sign indoor. Outdoors, mostly works (like 80-90% times) IF you turn the GPS And the location logging on at the default camera app or in your external one. Performance: I downloaded the highest graphical FPS games and all of them is over 25(!!!) no serious lags ever! It performs also well when you play multiple games at the same time. The 4GB of RAM is far enough to store permanently the games in the background. Fingerprint reader: It's surprisingly fast! Like really fast! No lag, no animation, just nailed it! Really personal experience: My fingers are mostly very wet so my iPhone second generation Fingerprint reader cannot read it. (like 60-70% of times!) I hated it! But this guy always read it even if it's wet or so. And also the place at the rear is the perfect, your pointer finger is there anyway when you hold the phone, it makes way more sense than to put the reader to the front side. I was not paid by any company to share this with you. Thanks for reading my experience with this phone tho.

  • X626 is 21mp while x520 is 16. Which one one has better camera?

  • Thoughts on the LeEco Le S3 X522: Pro: Casing is top notch quality IR Blaster actually works and controls my Sharp Flat screen TV Very inexpensive Quite fast for everyday tasks Rear Camera takes decent shots during daytime and areas that are well lit Front Camera takes decent shots during daytime and areas that are well lit Sound is good enough (only managed 16-bit 44.1Khz) Cons: Rear and Front Camera's are terrible during night time and areas that are not well lit This is not a camera phone, if you care about picture quality look elsewhere, you have to set it to HDR to get decent pictures and those take time to take. The lack of NFC is a let down. Conclusion: Worth the $125 USD I paid for it brand new.

  • I have been reading your posts regularly. I need to say that you are doing a fantastic job. Please keep up the great work. Painters coogee | Pest Control Sydney CBD | Concreter Brisbane | Data cabling Canberra

  • The X520 is the Snapdragon variant while X622 is Chinese (Mediatek) variant

  • what the difference between (le s3 x622) and (le 2 x520) i'm confusing -.-" My finding Le s3 dont have gyro.....

  • its very nice phone ....

  • I run a Galaxy S8 as my main phone and this LeEco S3 X522 as my secondary phone. I've installed Lineage 14.1 on my LeEco S3 and it runs quite well. For general day to day use, speed wise, I can't really tell the difference between the S8 and the S3. The kicker is that I got is for $125 USD brand new unopened box. :D

  • This phone would get 5 stars except for the following: 1.) The LeEco forums are dead. *I did get to talk to a rep via chat 2.) The stock USB C cable included is junk. I can't stress enough spend the couple of extra dollars to get a new charging cable, I got 2 for $10. Other than that for $139.00 this is a fantastic phone. Strait Talk Users please refer to the Q&A portion of the phone for your settings. I have tried to post the settings everywhere. The stock head phones are amazing, you can feel the base. The phone comes with a TPU case and a screen protector. I can't stress enough spend the couple of extra dollars to get a new charging cable, I got 2 for $10. The stock headphones are great, but make sure to buy a USB C Lightning cable.

  • I totally agree the stock cable is garbage, I spent 10$ on amazon and got 2 really nice cables.

  • On an honest level, I would highly recommend this phone. It's fast and smooth with good size and camera quality for a decent price. Although since the manufacture company is Chinese and new to the phone game, a good phone case can be hard to come by. But if you want a solid-awesome mid-price ranged phone you should buy one. Amazon has it for the lowest price, best of wishes!

  • This phone are in stock on EU warehouse on Efox and Coolicool.

  • Pros: Phone is good quality for the price. Cons: USB-C manufacturer cable is the worst quality of all. After the first charge it doesn't work anymore. Were thinking about returning the phone (bought two of them) but then started throubleshooting; wall power adapter was good, battery lasted enough time but the phone wasn't charging, then tried another USB-C cable and charged correctly even with fast charge feature anabled. Manufacturer should send new cables per request.

  • Great phone, has an APP drawer if you download the latest EUI update version 5.8. However, Leview is not working for me.

  • now we can buy the phone on price 104€ on China online shop

  • This is a fantastic phone for the price ($150). Only cons I see are storage space and the UI. If you don't like the UI (you get used to it) just install a launcher, or a custom rom. And the storage should be good enough for a year (or maybe two), because you can afford to buy a new phone every year at this price.

  • SAP FICO ONLINE TRAINING Nice phone it is! Im using the same one.

  • I bought this phone a week ago..... After getting the g4 plus...The honor 6x..... Zen phone max.....All within Best buy's 14 day return policy..... This phone beats them all!!! Very fast...Very response.... People have complained about the UI (user interface), but after you get used to hitting the notification tab at the bottom where the recent app button is to get to your brightness settings and other things excetera. The phone comes with a case, has a plastic screen protector on it (until I can get my glass one) but good thing it comes with a case because there are only two or three options on Amazon. All in all I think this phone is amazing and will be buying my next phone through this company. Might get the Pro 3 next because of the 4 gigabytes of RAM but it is almost Overkill. This phone is lightning fast and very well worth the $200 I paid for it. Very happy with this product period looking into buying one of their TVs now off of the website

  • Battery life is fine.

  • there several guides and tutorials about flashing official and customs on le 2 at xda-developers.com check xda forums, if interested.

  • How did you get a custom ROM?

  • I have using this phone. Battery timing is pretty awesome on customs roms. I am running MIUI 8. I get SOT of about 7+ hours.

  • Did this phone support CDMA2000

  • Battery life is somewhat bad, T-Mobile talk is somewhat choppy, but that comes from a phone with more than enough processing power. It lasts a day, but has quick charge 3 (the phone charges in 1 hour). If you do decide to buy it, wait a week, as they have (or had) frequent sales. I got this phone for $180, $70 less than regular.

  • How about notification bugs(first of all whatsapp/messenger/viber)? Did they fix it?

  • HI, I am planning to buy this. Is the battery life that bad that I should avoid this phone? Thanks

  • The phone is amazing for its given price, but, I do find the battery life to be a little crappy, but this is coming from a heavy user (gaming, music, YouTube). Also the lack of a built in 3.5mm jack although it comes with an adapter for it. With that being said, it's a steal for the pricing point. Any questions and concerns of the phone I can be contacted on ig at Synthax_

  • Based on other reviews I was concerned that I'd hate this phone. But for the price I paid (US$169), given its specs, I figured I'd take a chance. I agree that the EUI interface that comes on the phone is awkward. However, I will say that downloading the Google Now Launcher from the Play Store makes all the difference, and actually makes this phone bearable. For that reason, I recommend the phone. Though I can't recommend this phone if you had to pay full price. But if you can get the phone at a discount, I say buy it!

  • What software ver. are you on to enjoy such battery endurance?

  • You're not missing out on bigger battery. I hardly use the phone(standby the whole time) and still the batt is drained after 16 hours. This is after I cut off all background processes. I am not sure it is the Android thing or LeEco thing, but this is sad. My iPhone 6/6s/7, with thieir meager batteries of half the abobe capacity, will last 3 days with just phone calls when lowe-power mode is activated. Again, it might be a combo of things, but Qualcomm 652 is supposed to take care of the batt drain situation.

  • I picked up an LG Tone headset and paired it with my S3 to great disappointment. The volume is only about half that of an iphone 6, therefore not loud enough. I'm trying to see if there's a way to work around this problem but nothing so far

  • Bro , Has any screen issue as like as Le 2 , I mean LeEco le s3 create any sound when you little hard press on the screen ?

  • Bought this during the first flash sale and love the phone; I should have purchased the pro in hindsight. There are some headscratcher bloatware apps installed that mirror Google apps which are already on the phone but other than that the skin is pretty clean. They're pushing their ecosystem so you're also stuck with a "live" button at the bottom but it's easy to ignore and swiping left takes you to a video stream feed; not a deal killer for me either. The phone is responsive, call quality is fine, the camera is nothing that will blow you away but I have a DSLR for real photography and just use phone cameras to "capture the moment" or throw-away pics that get posted on Facebook and the camera on this phone does a fine job here with the click to photo time being nearly instantaneous. I had an Amazon Firefone and you could lose shots with that piece of junk waiting for it to "click." Oddly, I occasionally get phantom registers on the virtual buttons at the bottom (home, settings, etc.) but this happens infrequently and I'll assume that it's a software issue rather than hardware. One of their included apps is a "feedback" app which I used to report the issue and received an email from tech support the following day asking for more specific information. There's already been one software update since my purchase about 3 weeks ago so there's hope that they'll get this minor glitch sorted out at some point. Overall, I like the phone and the price at sale was $149 so very reasonable for the specs (cheap really) and performance. After purchase, the phone was delivered within 3-4 days and the packaging was very attractive, giving the product a "premium" feel. I bought a screen-cover later which took almost 2 weeks for delivery (I'll assume it came from China rather than California) and the packaging involved on this simple product blew me away; an mdf-like (compressed cardboard maybe?) material case with a practice screen cover, screen wipe and other accessories included. Battery life is a bit short but I'm a heavy user so it could just be me; another reason I should have bought the Pro for the larger battery. The phone charges quickly with the USB-C cord (the wall plug block included is a bit huge though). I miss the headphone jack as my car doesn't have bluetooth but the included "dongle" works and I do own a bluetooth headset so no biggie there it just means I can't charge and listen in the car. There are other features I haven't tried/not interested in like the included TV remote app (there's an IR blaster in the spot where the headphone jack would be).

  • can u give me the link of flash sale..

  • Bought the S3 on the first flash sale, so I've had it a few days now. Very impressed with the build quality, clean and clear screen. I'm still using the Eco skin it came with, as I don't believe you can make a judgement on UI without actually using it for a while! Not hugely blown away by the included streaming content, frankly, so I wouldn't put that as a big feature. Limited and hard to find specific items. News from Fox, but nobody else. Camera is good, excellent daytime shots although it doesn't cope well with high contrasts. It's a phone folks, not a SLR! Battery life was initially very disappointing, only just got through the day, but a recent update has transformed that. As a quick example, I'm running dual SIM, WiFi, Bluetooth and location services, and after 3 hours I'm on 96% currently. Only 2 calls, though, so far today. At $149 it is a steal. If LeEco go Tango Uniform tomorrow, I'll put a standard skin on it and still be very happy.

  • Phone is seemingly good. Feels really good in the hand with it's metal body. The system performance is top notch. It scored 107 on the WebXPRT benchmark which is like a last gen flagship phone, all while staying cool to the touch. In addition the performance of the internal memory was blazing fast in the Androbench 5.0 benchmark, more than 300 MB/s sequential read and 100 sequential write. The camera takes really good daytime shots and the night shots seem pretty reasonable for a phone in this class. The screen is adequately bright and looks pretty accurate if a little blue. Call quality is just fine, as is LTE and WiFi reception. Loudspeaker is bottom firing, loud and pretty full. Battery life is better than my outgoing phone and wholly adequate. Software is the big weakness, I've been using comparably lightly skinned Android OS versions and this will take a lot of getting used too. There are a few things I like, but many more that are poorly implemented or intrusively designed. Most annoyingly, unlike my Nexus 5, I cannot search settings for keywords or intuitively navigate the notification menu. Lastly, unlike the specifications on the website, my phone's box came with a clear TPU phone case. A very nice inclusion, but notably absent from the product description. I'd recommend this to a friend, but make sure they can handle the UI first.

  • They are the same. In China and India they call it Le 2.

  • After one full day, I'm loving it. Aside from the fact that I hated the included skin, the phone functions and performs beyond my expectations. I put Google launcher on it and it's great. 3d multiplayer gaming is beautiful, almost no lag. Pictures seem great so far, but i haven't taken many yet. The headphones included produce great sound, and the included 3.5 adapter is a nice touch. Came with screen protector installed. I'm really impressed so far

  • apart from non expendable storage this phone is genuinely everything i ever needed. v.good soc non milion k screen but the ram could be at 4gb peace

  • I got the US version of this phone yesterday I gotta say for $150 this is a great build quality for the phone. There's two or three show stoppers here 1. the camera disappoints and is below average quality I'm praying this can be fix with a software update while you can take decent shots during the day everything else is noisy and grainy and forget taking shots while walking with this camera. 2. No headphone jack! While I use Bluetooth headphones for everything still weird that they skipped on the headphone jack the phone is not super thin or water proof to justify the sacrifice. 3. Single bottom firing speaker my question is why in 2016 we have bottom speakers. The rest is not a big issue for me the screen is decent but is has a small black bezel underneath the glass kinda weird. Call quality is great no issues there! front facing camera just average.Finger scanner works 80% of the time. The software is not too bad it mimics a lot IOS or MIUI no app drawer so you will have tons of apps or a lots of folders. The phone is fast no lag so far but is only been one day but now and days most phones and processors are pretty capable. For 150 or 200 bucks this phone is a steal! now for 250 bucks the competition is rough you can get a second hand or manufacture refurbished LG g4 or Nexus 5x or oneplus two or motorola pure edition 2015 I would personally go with those just because this camera is just so below average in my opinion.

  • No difference... They're calling Indian version of Le2 as Le S3 in US.

  • LeEco left s3 compact designs 4.5"to 5" display devices I will ready to buy

  • Another useless phone with ~25GB storage

  • fast charge 3.0 vs fast charge 2.0 in cool 1, and also battery which is 3000 for S3 against 4060 in cool 1

  • Corning Gorilla Glass 3 mainly.

  • The Le 2 is 4mm narrower - increasing the screen/body ratio and (probably) a more comfortable grip. It also has the SD652 or the Helio X20 chipset, whereas the S3 just has the SD652. Minor differences in the real world, could be that the S3 is only meant for certain markets whereas the Le 2 is a more international offering.

  • I can not understand what is the different between LeEco le2 and Le s3 ?
