Limited stock, so hurry and grab yours today! Shop now >> bit.ly/le1s-LY
Le 1s has a trendy full metal Uni-body - one of the few brands in the market worldwide to boast of this. The Le Superphone is possibly the world's only all- metal body device crafted with aircraft grade aluminium, that feature a screw-less industrial design with no visible trace of industrial assembling that mark the aesthetics of the device. The metal design not only enhances the looks but also strengthens signal receiving capability. Compared to Redmi Note 3, the Le1S is 13% slimmer and sleeker measuring just 7.5mm, as against 8.65mm of Redmi Note 3. It also has a bezel-less design which is a unique design element.
In terms of the processor too, Le 1s is on a strong wicket given that it is powered by an octa-core 2.2 GHz CPU as opposed to hexa-core 1.8 GHz processor that powers the Xiaomi device. Moreover, LeEco's Le 1s costs Rs. 1,000 less and comes with the latest USB Type-C connectivity port. The Le1s' revolutionary Type C charger also makes charging quick -- just 5 minutes of charge gets you 3.5 hours of talk time! The reversible USB Type-C connector is technologically ahead of its competitors in many ways such as it has an additional sealing and PTC protection in-between wires, which is an industry first. All of this makes the device future-ready.
The Le1s also offers users a branded toughened glass protection - the Corning Gorilla Glass 3, a feature that only high priced flagship phones currently offer. Xiaomi's Redmi Note 3, however have overlooked this key aspect of a branded toughened glass protection, leaving consumers vulnerable to phone damage due to mishaps and accidents.
Moreover, the Le 1s boasts 4K video recording, which none of its competitors offer. Markedly absent in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, is the 4K video recording feature despite the higher pricing. The Le1s is a budget powerhouse and heavy gamers are sure to enjoy the Le1s' stunningly smooth gaming experience. The phone is also packed with 3GB of RAM offering the joy of multitasking.
It is no wonder that Le1s has been the top seller in China since its release last October - having sold more than 2 million units in just two months and has created several industry records in India as well.
Not to forget the content ecosystem that is a LeEco exclusive that is going to be a game changer, going by the definitive edge that it has given the brand in other global markets. Le 1s is therefore not only a best-in-class smartphone but offers consumers a truly redefining comprehensive eco-system experience. Buyers of the Le Superphone can expect a content ecosystem to be uploaded into its android-based EUI system in the second quarter of this year since the company has already signed contracts with Eros and Yupp TV. The company has inked a deal Eros Now for Video-on-demand (VOD) and with YuppTV for TV content streaming.
The company's after-sales policies are also best-in-class with 555 service centres in prime locations in the country, besides providing 24*7 toll free services, and other value-added services.
Not much time have passed since the released of LeEco Le1S. Now, a report has emerged that its successor Le 2 is under works.It is being said that Le 2 have a square shape fingerprint sensor and the company's brand graving below the bio-metric sensor now shows "LE" (simplified form of LeEco). Le 1S comes with a circular camera module and the brand engraving spells LeTV (the company's former name). The Le 2 is encased in a chamfered metal frame.
As far as internal hardware is concerned, Le 2 is expected to house either Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 Quad-core SoC (System-on-Chip) or MediaTek's Helio X20 Deca-core processor backed by 4GB RAM.
It also expected to have a 21MP rear camera and a much improved ultrasonic-based fingerprint sensor.The leaked pictures of the Le 2 seem great, but the device's internal specification casts doubts.
For instance, Snapdragon 820 is a very powerful processor, it is coming in Samsung Galaxy S7 series, LG G5, Xiaomi Mi 5 and other flagship phones slated to be released in 2016, so it is very unlikely a budget phone like the Le 2 will house such a CPU.
LeEco (formely known as LeTV) is organising open sale of its flagship killer and widely popular Le 1s once again during the big shopping days on Flipkart. Also available on sale will be LeEco's big and bold Le Max. Flipkart Big Shopping Days 2016 are from March 7 starting midnight to March 9, 2016.
After having witnessed unprecedented success in its flash sales and the recent LeEco Day earlier this month, the Le 1s will now be available for consumers who missed getting their hands on this stylish, elegant yet powerful device. Not just that! The much loved flagship killer - Le 1s and the big and bold - Le Max will be up for grabs with an irresistible 10% cashback offer for SBI Credit and Debit Cardholders as well as on a hard-to-pass up exchange offers of upto Rs 6000 on Le 1s and Rs 20,000 on Le Max. The Le 1s will be available in both colours - the elegant Gold and the stylish Silver.
The Le 1s Superphone has broken several industry records, in the recent past to become the most sought-after Smartphone online. The company's selling over 200000 superphones in less than 30 days is an evidence of the success that the company has achieved in a very short span of time. Its soaring popularity among consumers is a validation of the company's global reputation, edge over competition given its content ecosystem integration and its relentless focus on providing the best quality and value to its consumers.
Buyers of the Le Superphones can expect a content ecosystem to be uploaded into its android-based EUI system in the 2nd quarter of this year since the company has already signed contracts with Eros and Yupp TV. The company has inked a deal Eros Now for Video-on-demand (VOD) and with YuppTV for TV content streaming.
The company's after-sales policies are also best-in-class with 555 service centers in prime locations in the country, besides providing 24*7 toll free services, and other value-added services.
LeEco, a brand that recently forayed in the Indian market, seems to be having a gala time. The company has been on a record-breaking spree ever since it has started. It received more than 5 lakh registerations for Le 1S, sold out more than 70,000 Le1s units in just 2 seconds of its first flash sale...and now, it is expecting bigger sales numbers in its second flash sale that is scheduled on 9th February.
Overwhelmed with consumers' response to the flagship value device- Le 1s, Le Eco has today announced that it will extend the cash back offer exclusively for the Axis Bank Credit and Debit cardholders onto its next flash sale as well. Consumers can avail a cash back of 10% on purchase of Le 1s, using their Axis Credit and Debit Cards. The decision was taken after the company received an overwhelming registrations of 6,05,000 on Flipkart for the 1st flash sale of Le 1S.
LeEco's Le 1s Superphone is a unique combination of premium design and features seamlessly integrated with the Le Ecosystem. Sporting a full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display, beautifully encased in an aviation grade aluminium unibody design, the Le 1s exudes a stunning combination of ruggedness and beauty. This 5.5-inch multi-touch device has a 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera enabling the user to capture all the beautiful moments in life. Powered by 2.2 GHz Octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 (ARM Cortex-A53, 64-bit) processor and 3GB of RAM, the Le 1S allows you to work and play at the same time. The Le 1s runs on Android 5.0 with eUI for an optimal user experience. The device also features world's first mirror-surfaced fingerprint sensor, to help protect your privacy and data as well as allowing convenient and fast device unlocking.
The second flash sale is on Feb 9th 12 noon and registration are open exclusively on Flipkart.
The Le 1s doesn’t disappoint when it comes to performance. The 2.2 GHz Octa-Core Mediatek Helio X10 Processor coupled with 3GB of RAM ensures the phone keeps ticking smoothly. The phone comes with 32GB onboard storage, out of which roughly 29GB is available to users, which is quite impressive for a budget smartphone. There is no microSD card slot, however, so you cannot expand the storage.
From Facebook to heavy games , I had run all necessary applications on the phone. During my usage, I didn’t come across any issues with the performance of the phone. I even played a few graphic intensive games on the phone such as Real Racing and casual running games like Subway Surfer. I encountered no issue while playing these games, though I would have preferred better graphics quality as compared to what we have experienced on contemporary smartphones
But that said, the phone handles normal tasks such as browsing and music streaming very well along with heavy duty gaming. As is case with most of the Android smartphones, prolonged gaming sessions do cause heating up, but it never gets to an uncomfortable level.
The sound quality including call quality is good.
The Le 1s is powered by a 3,000mAh battery and comes with USB Type C charging port. Battery life, sadly, is one of the major drawbacks of the smartphone. You can get a good battery life if you are using moderate battery mode on your smartphone otherwise if you enable the high end mode of the phone you can get a day battery backup life.
With all radios on, the fully charge battery dropped to 60-80 percent after roughly 3-4 hours. My usage included background running apps such as Facebook and Gmail as well as approximately 20 minutes of gaming and about an hour of music streaming and Internet browsing. The battery drops moderately from 100 percent to 70-80 percent. On minimum usage, you may experience higher battery life. You can enable battery saver mode at any point of the time, but likely to have a 1.5 day of usage.
Thanks to USB Type-C, the phone charges relatively fast. On roughly 20 minutes of charge, battery level goes up from 10 percent to 28-30 percent.
we have got around 58000 score on antutu benchmark. this is the highest score among its competitors in this price segment.
Verdict
At Rs 10,999, the LeEco Le 1s offers you a beautiful design along with the latest features such as fingerprint scanner, which actually works flawlessly, decent camera and a very impressive overall performance.
The Le 1s will provide tough competition to the likes of the Coolpad Note 3 and the Lenovo K4 Note. It is a good start for the company, which promises having a network of over 500 service centers. The Le 1s will go on sale exclusively on Flipkart on February 9 and still with 10 % cashback offer.

Characteristic
There are two major characteristics when it comes to this device.
First is the use of Type-C USB interface that can be a positive or a negative plug.
This innovation is great, as we think that this standard should be implemented everywhere, and be universal, as it is intenationed. Faster speeds of charging and data transfer are great features every piece of hardware should use. Mirror fingerprint recognition is at the back of the phone, which is a standard for the high-end phones. Considering the configuration, the price of 10999 rupees, and then the appearance of this phone, the question is: is it worth buying? Let’s look at the other characteristics:
On the front side the ID no-frame design is used, it looks and feels excellent when put on the screen. If you examine thoroughly, you can also see the black lines on the sides, superbly placed in this model as complementary hardware and software. The default wallpaper mostly consists of dark lines. Therefore, the standard display achieves a kind of an infinity effect.
If you are looking for a stylish with premium built, high performance and lot of hardware specifications smartphone this Phone for you. This smartphone is a China branded/made phone, this is a sort of mid-range phone but same quality as high end smartphones. The Pros/advantages and Cons/disadvantages of Letv Le 1S review with specifications has been given below.
Review of Letv Le 1S
Though this is sort of mid-range smartphone, this device is extremely well built and it feels very very premium. It got enormous bezel less design with beautiful clean metal trim body. The body is made up with aircraft-grade aluminium and whole device weight is 169 Grams and 7.5 mm thin. It supports 5.5 inch display, below the display we have three touch capacitive buttons, touch buttons light up in a really nice uniform manner. The overall built quality and design is flawless, solid and fell premium.
This handset comes with 5.5 inches IPS Full High Definition display with 401 pixel density. The display sharp and vivid, flawless touch responsive with good viewing angles. The sunlight legibility of the display is also good. This is a certainly good display to considering this price range.
Le 1S engine Powered by Mediatek Helios X10 Turbo processor which is a Octa Core Processor clocked at 2.2 GHz and processor coupled with 3 GB RAM. The configuration of the Phone is good enough to offer you seamless gaming and multi-tasking experience. It didn't face any lags, but barely tends to lag otherwise excellent performer. It runs on custom User Interface known as EUI based on Android Lollipop. There is no lags notices while using this custom User Interface. The overall Performance of this device is very good, it handles multi-tasking with ease and doesn't show any lags or heating issues even while playing heavy games.
This device comes with 13 MP Primary camera with single LED flash and 5 MP front facing camera. Both cameras capable of taking impressive shots, the images taken by this phone good detailing and clarity. But in indoor/low light scenario captures images shows slightly noise however, it can capture decent images in low lighting conditions. The overall camera quality good enough to considering in this price point.
At the bottom of the device, there are three touch buttons. Looking from left to right, those are multitasking, Home key, and the back key.
These three buttons with hidden design are normally completely invisible, but in contact with the backlight will light up, thus enabling both simplicity and functionality.
The Le 1s model, when compared to the previous generation of similar products, carries a significant difference in the use of the integrated aviation aluminum metal body. When processed into a fine matte surface, this material feels great in the hand and improves handling. If you look carefully, the antenna partition on the upper and lower part of the phone’s backside is made with a different color. The partitions enhance the appearance by adding an attractive color pattern.
A unique feature of the Le 1s model is its fingerprint recognition capabilities. The current 10000 rupee devices have a fingerprint identification built in with five units of recognition. The Le 1s’ fingerprint recognition system uses the “mirror” design that is certainly the most advanced in that group. The actual speed of unlocking is same as the iPhone 6S. The only drawback is the mirror is more easily contaminated with fingerprints, so it requires frequent cleaning as skin oil get sticks to it sometimes.
The top and bottom of Le 1s are symmetrical. The Le phones were one of the earliest to incorporate USB Type-C connectors, following the new trend of advanced USB connectors.
The phone also supports Qualcomm QC 2.0 fast charge protocol that allows up to 24W fast charge standard. The official statement said that it can achieve the “Charge 5 minutes, 3.5 hours talk” regime.
Telephony/Network
Also, the Le 1s is a dual card, dual standby mobile phone, providing a Nano SIM card slot and a Micro SIM card slot, and does not distinguish between a primary and a secondary card. Users can freely place a 4G card and any other 4G card, a simple input in your system allows for dual SIM settings and switching between data network.
“Charging five minutes, call two hours” is the slogan surely that was confirmed, because several recently launched OPPO phones support VOOC flash charging technology. The Le 1s having evolved into the third generation has the possibility to determine its charging speed.
Battery / Charging
Although LeTV claimed they have their “Le flash charging technology,” we are looking at the Qualcomm Quick Charge
2. Qualcomm fast charge has been upgraded to QC 3, so the mobile phone field maximum power remained 24W (12V/2A).
The voltage is further subdivided to be compatible with more devices.
You can see that the Le 1s model charger is quite large, its specifications of the input voltage are 100V-240V which means that it can be used worldwide.
There are three output specifications: 9V/2.7A, 12V/2A, 5V/2.7A, with the maximum output power of 24.3W (9 x 2.7). That is only a theoretical value; the actual output power depends on the support type of the mobile phone.
11.94V / 1.84A = 22W! Charging speed, proven on the real test, went from 0% to 20% in 20 minutes. It took 60 minutes to charge up to 70%. The first half can be considered very fast; every minute charges the battery with more than 1%. But from 70%, after it enters trickle charge mode, 25 minutes are needed to reach 80%. From 80% to 90% took almost 25 minutes, while the last 10% charged with whirlwind speed, as it only took 10 minutes to charge the phone fully.
Considering most of the time is wasted in the last 30%, the phone will be almost fully charged for a short period. In reality, playing 30 minutes of an online video, power will go down from 73% to 65% that is a decline of 8%. After a day of average use, the battery is left it at 34%, which is, considering the configuration, what is expect of a mid-level type of battery.But this one is better than other one's.
Finally, it should be mentioned that to achieve better fast charging, to ensure efficiency and safety, for the first time with the model Le 1s that Type-C 3A fast charge cable is being used.
There is also a Built-in PTC thermistor, to improve security in a multi-channel parallel transmission. If the cable is damaged or missing, it is suggested that you go to the official website and buy a new one, or purchase a high-quality specifications cable so you can avoid the danger risks that come when using and standard cable. The system / customization
The Le 1s has the LeTV EUI systems, based on Android 5.0.2 depth of customization. Le Super phone one that was released earlier this year had the 4.5 system version, which is now upgraded to 5.5. New systems regarding UI interface and system function changed little from the previous and still offers three desktops: Application Desktop recommended Desktop and Live Desktop.
Chipset, RAM, Storage
The LeEco Le 1s is powered by the MediaTek Helio X10 a, which is a 64-bit octa core chipset clocked at 2.2 GHz. This is the same chipset found on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. Among the budget devices currently available, the Helio X10 chipset compares among the best chipsets out there. Compared to 4GB on the flagship Le Max, the Le 1s comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage.
Software and OS
Just like the Le Max, the Le 1s also runs on Android 5.0 with a layer of its proprietary eUI. Simply put, the plain Android experience is refined by making it more practical. To begin with, there’s no app drawer, just like we see in most customised user interfaces.
LeEco Le1s Unboxing Video
Le1s
There’s a working homescreen where you swipe through apps. When you check out the Settings, the UI resembles iOS to quite an extent. In fact, it is a good looking and vivid user interface. However, the sheer amount of customisation possible here is what makes it interesting. On the flip side, the company’s devices are known for added benefits, especially in terms of content.
LeEco Le1s Review Video
Camera
On the camera front, the Le 1s has a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). For selfie lovers, it comes equipped with a 5MP front-facing camera. The device supports slow motion video recording as well. And although the images we saw during looked good, we’d be able to give an informed opinion only after we do a detailed review of the Le 1s.
Sample Shots
Battery and Connectivity
The ‘super value phone’ as LeEco refers to it, has a 3000mAh battery whereas the Le Max has a 3400mAh battery. According the LeEco, with fast charging, 5 minutes of charge time provides 3.5 hours of talktime.
In addition, the LeEco Le 1s supports all the prominent GSM bands including WCDMA for 3G services (quad band) as well as FDD and TDD LTE bands including 1800, 1900, 2100 and 2300 bands that are used in India. The dual SIM device supports a micro and a nano SIM. For navigation, it supports GPS, A-GPS and GlONASS.
The Le 1s, similar to the Le Max comes with the USB Type-C for faster charging. The connectivity options include Wi-FI 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.1, along with Wi-Fi Direct for streaming to a Wi-Fi Direct compatible smart TV. The Le 1s is fitted with an infrared port that lets the device add up as an infrared remote control for your television or set-top box. It also includes presets for most popular brands currently available.
Bottom line
When we used the Le Max, we were impressed. And why not, it is packed with specifications. And with that kind of a spec sheet, performance is bound to follow. yes, it is still premium, with a premium pricing. However, with the Le 1s, that is bound to change. Not only has it sweetened the deal in the price range of Rs 10999 that it was announced, it also betters the deal as an offering.
