LeEco Le Max 2 Release Date, News, Specs and Rumors: Gadget Equipped with 4-axis optically stabilized 16MP camera
Chinese firm LeEco have just announced its second generation flagship called the 'Le Max 2' and it comes with the latest generation hardware in spite of budget intentions in-mind. But that doesn't mean that there is a single variant. Actually there will be two models of the smartphone.
One is the lower variant in the devices announced which packs 4GB of memory and it comes at a price of Rs 22,999 or around 350$ while the other packs in 6GB of memory and is priced at Rs 29,999 or about 449$. Both devices feature 64GB of internal storage and feature a 5.7-inch QHD displays, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipsets that is base clocked at 2.15ghz and both also feature 8MP cameras on the front and 21MP units on the back. You get lossless audio thanks to CDLA (Continual Digital Lossless Audio) a new audio standard by LeEco Global and also a fingerprint sensor with Qualcomm's Sense ID built into the ultrasonic reader. This seems too good on paper, but the only concern is that critics all over are curious about its dominance in its price segment.
This is because due to the continuous domination by another Chinese firm Xiaomi because invariably it is the first brand that comes to mind. The company has been churning out some really good handsets and the Mi 5 is indeed the cream of the crop. So far it is the only handset that will make premium flagship smartphones tremble with its low price and 350$ and robust hardware. The Xiaomi Mi 5 features a 5.15-inch Full HD Sunlight display with a 428PPI resolution, a Snapdragon 820 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB UFS 2.0 flash storage.
You get a 4-axis optically stabilized 16MP camera on the back and a 4MP camera up front. You also get a fingerprint reader on the front bezel. Powering all of the above is 3000mAh battery. While it appears to be quite an impressive package, this was reviewed a couple of weeks back. This device seemed to have performed well in most areas, but somehow its users are not too impressed with the software inside that still has the old MIUI 7 skin atop the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. The skin does not bring the major features of the Android 6.0 to the fore. Going purely by the hardware specifications on paper at least, the LeEco Le Max 2 seems to have a slight edge over this thanks to its content play.
