Review of LeEco Le 1s - A Value For your Money!

Hello Folks,

I want to share a review of my #Superphone LeEco Le 1s, so I waited for months before
judging this phone. Here is my review after 3 months of usage.

  1. Design
    The phone has a full metal body which feels great in hands. Also, it has thin bezels on
    the side which are almost non-existent. The phone has been well-crafted and no
    other phone feels this unbelievably premium at this price point. No other
    phones in this price segment looks as beautiful as Le 1s.

  2. Display
    The firstthing you’d notice after its metal design is its display. It has an 1080P Full
    HD screen, which is just brilliant. The images are crisp with a high colour
    contrast and saturation. It feels great to watch media.

  3. Fingerprint Sensor
    There is a mirror finished fingerprint sensor on the back of the 1s, right above their branding.
    Its accuracy is really good and its placement is just perfect. The index finger
    naturally rests there no matter which hand you use it from and the device is
    automatically unlocked.

  4. 4K Recording
    One neat feature hidden is that the phone capable of recording 4K videos. It can be
    enabled by going into the camera settings while inside the camera. Frankly it
    is not the best 4K camera out there, but it gets the job done. Most of the
    phone cameras out there which record 4K cost about INR 50,000. Also, it is a
    clever addition to the phone because they sell 4K TVs in China on which these
    videos can be consumed. They intend to bring these TVs to India soon!

  5. Fast Charging
    The LeEco Le 1s supports USB Type-C port at the bottom and it has a 3,000mAh battery which
    is pretty average for everyday usage. It lasts half a day with heavy usage and
    lasts full day if you are not a heavy user. It comes with support for fast
    charging. My device is taking 1 hour 20 minutes to get fully charged.

  6. IR Blaster
    On the top-right on the phone, there is a small IR blaster placed and the phone can be
    used as a remote with a dedicated app which is preinstalled in the device. This
    app can be used to control many home appliances like TVs, AC, etc. Also, they
    let you make your own remote with custom IR functions.

  7. Dual SIM
    LeEco 1s comes with dual SIM support, something that is common with most of the phones
    these days. They can be accessed using a SIM eject tool and has support for one
    Micro SIM and one Nano SIM. The best part of the dual SIM is that both the SIMs
    support 4K at the same time!

  8. Price
    Last but not least, the final reason to get this beautiful handset is its price. The Le 1s
    is priced at INR 10,999/- which is tad lower when compared to phones with
    similar features. The LeEco company has claimed that they are selling this
    phone with a loss i.e. for less than bill of materials.

LeEco Le 1s - Fast & Fantastic (full review)


Display:
The LeEco or we can say LeTv Le 1s comes with a 5.5-inch full-HD IPS screen which offers 403 pixel Density (PPI). It also comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protecting your screen from any kind of damage and harm screen and it also offers good sunlight visibility because of its deep blacks it offers in the screen quality. The screen quality looks sharp, crisp, with deep black which we found in devices which offers super amoled displays. The device is also having great viewing angles with great color reproduction and colors can also be adjusted by going into the setting menu. The Device comes with almost a bezel less design and due to which it looks just too awesome while in the hand.
Design and Build:
The full metallic unibody design with chamfered edges on the Le 1S look prominent and seems like it’s a high priced premium device. Very well made, a good finishing of the handset makes it you don’t want to let it go off your hands. 169 grams is a quite light weight for a 5.5-inch device having a metallic body because metals are heavier than plastics materials.
The added stuff that caught our attention is the fingerprint scanner and the USB Type-C which most of the phone in this segment do not offer. Another important thing to note is it comes with a 32 GB storage which is again a plus one.
Performance:
The Le 1S is powered by a MediaTek Helio X10 Turbo (MT6795) SoC that has 8 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz coupled with 3 GB of RAM and a PowerVR 6200 GPU. The processor is quite powerful and can handle multitasking with ease. We ran several apps to check the performance of the hardware and it turns out that we didn’t notice any single lag while performing basic operations. Apps such as Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Soundcloud, Flipkart, Shareit and few others were installed that includes games. We also did not face any crash reports from our tested apps. The performance highly fluid. The 3 GB RAM can hold as many apps for multi-tasking. The performance was mind blowing in our case.
Software & UI:
We noticed that the touch response is very fast and the software experience was very smooth and intuitive. There aren’t any preinstalled apps that come with Le 1S thus, it is free from any bloatware.
The user interface doesn’t offer an app drawer and a much simpler UI with everything’s on the homescreen. What I liked the most is the recent button menu. When you press the recent button, you will be presented with a plethora of shortcuts and options other than just recent apps. Usually, the recent menu on a regular smartphone consists of the apps that you have opened it and used it recently, but in this case, the LeEco did something innovative that no one did. They added all the shortcuts that a user wants on a single button, that means, no one will have to swipe the notifications bar as well as to go inside the settings.
Camera:
The Le 1s has a 13-megapixel Rear Camera and a 5-megapixel Front Camera. It’s camera interface is quite simple. Talking about custom settings, you can adjust the white balance, ISO level, exposure, sharpness, saturation and contrast levels. It comes with four modes to choose from – standard, panorama, video, slow motion. It comes with different colour filters and users can preview before they are shot. The rear camera focuses the object very fast and captures good images in daylight. The rear camera can also shoot 4K Videos, which is impressive. While using the camera we also noticed that both the cameras detects the face very fast and captures images without any shutter lag. The camera captures good amount of details in daylight while just like its other competitors in the market, the camera lacks low-light photography. Overall, both the cameras performs very well and captures good pictures.
Verdict:
The LeEco Le 1s is a Premium Smartphone which offers great specifications. It is the best smartphone available right now at this price range. The Le 1s with 3GB of Ram, full-metal unibody design, USB Type-C and fingerprint sensor is ruling the budget segment. The smartphone is exclusively available on Flipkart. Highly Recommended 
