The Fine Art of Mobile APp Developent
Customer engagement is the by-word now as more and more mobile phone manufacturers are training their skills towards this feature. Mobile phones have made life easy while being engaged in a train or a long journey. Mobile applications has occupied that space with its vast innovation into android app development and ios app development. Virtual reality and augmented reality are the latest observations of mobile application development by taking the user experiences into new heights in the field of visualisation. Mobile apps are of two types: native and hybrid. User interfaces of mobile phones are implemented using either native or hybrid app mobile technology. Both offer reliable and responsive user experiences. Mobile app developers dwell to the minutest details of the idea and build the most sensible and intuitive UI's.
Which is better? Le 1s or iPhone SE?
Let's start with the OS. Android and iOS are now at-par on features, freely taking inspiration from each other and the perennial also-ran Windows Phone. However, if you've been using an Android phone, the move to iOS is jarring regardless of preparation. Trust me, having moved from a OnePlus 2 to an iPhone 6S, I know this better than most. If you're an iPhone user already, there is no discussion required. If you're an Android user, then I'd say "Don't even consider an iPhone!"
Moving on to design and build, the new iPhone is, in line with Apple's policy "thinner, smaller and lighter" than the Le 1s. However, the Le 1s has an astounding screen-to-body ratio of 75% that enables single-handed use and the phone doesn't feel too big. After all, within reason, bigger is always better! Both phones offer amazing build quality at their respective price points, so that's not really much of a contest.
On display, if you like smaller screens, the iPhone SE will appeal to you. But for someone who has used a 4+ inch screen device earlier, going back to a smaller display doesn't really work. In this respect, the Le 1s scores with its big but not too big display, and its helped by minimal bezels. Resolution-wise, its a no contest with the Full HD In-Cell display on the Le 1s ruling the roost with its fantastic color reproduction, great viewing angles and almost-zero bezels.
On connectivity, both the Le 1s and the iPhone SE are at par with each other on Wi-Fi and Network compatibilities, but the Le 1s scores with its dual-SIM capability.
When it comes to performance, I believe that specs are just one part of the game. Real-world performance is key. And in this area, despite having lesser amount of RAM than the Le 1s, the iPhone SE performs equally well due to better memory management in iOS versus Android. Its a straight tie!
Camera is another key feature where specs are just one part of the game with actual photo clarity being the key identifier. The iPhone SE uses the much-lauded camera module from the iPhone 6S, so its a given that photos will come out well. The Le 1s on the other hand had a few initial hiccups with photo clarity but they've since been resolved by OTA updates, so overall - its a good camera experience on both smartphones. The Le 1s scores in lowlight clarity and front-camera! Apple, for reasons that defy logic, went with a 1.2MP sensor on the front-camera. Now megapixels might not be everything, but with a 5MP sensor, the Le 1s handily beats the iPhone SE on selfies. Another reason is the smaller aperture size on Le 1s cameras – both front and rear (f2.0) compared to the iPhone SE which has f2.4 on the front camera and f2.2 on the rear camera – in photography parlance, smaller is referred to as “wider”. A wider aperture lets in more light which gives better photos in low-light and indoor situations, and gives you that beautiful blurred “out of focus” effect on wide shots.
With respect to sensors, the Le 1s has an infrared sensor to control home appliances that the iPhone doesn't. Everything else on this front is a tie.
Finally, the "essential spec" in today's world, battery! The Le 1s has almost double the battery capacity of the iPhone SE, with fast-charge built-in! While iOS has better power management than Android, the huge difference in capacity should result in longer standby times with the Le 1s!
Regardless of all technical specifications and performance comparisons, there will still be people convinced that an Apple product is the next best thing since sliced bread! So, to those people, here is a final nail in the coffin. Both the Le 1s and iPhone SE are good phones that do almost everything you can expect them to. Most importantly for a budget-conscious Indian, the Le 1s costs INR 10,999 while the iPhone SE starts at a whopping INR 39,000! That’s three times more expensive than the Le 1s!!! Case closed.
Review of LeEco Le 1s - A Value For your Money!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

My LeEco Le 1s Fingerprint Sensor - The Best Security Feature
One interesting feature of Le 1s is that the sensor comes with a 6H hardness anti-scratch mirror that allows the finger print to be read without any issues.
As I tried to unlock my phone, I found the sensor enables both flash recognition and identification accuracy immediately and effectively as promised and it eliminates the need for PIN codes or patterns to be memorised.
Now with quick access to my online trading and banking accounts, I can truly say that I have all information at my fingertips.
Root - A Privilege That Should Be Allowed By The Smartphone Companies
Now many of you people wouldn't know what 'Root' is so, lemme explain, it is kind of a 'Privilege', which allows us to access the core functions of our android smartphone, it is something that is not allowed by the smartphone companies and what they do is if they find that a phone is rooted, they void it's warranty because it is something that could help us overlock our phone's CPU to a higher level. Now this is only one feature of root, but there are many others like by rooting your phone you could have access to 'Cheat Tools' which can help us modify an apps data, make In App Purchases (IAP) free and patch some apps to get their premium versions for free, removing unwanted system apps with ease, but it also helps in SECURING OUR PHONE, like '360 Security', it needs root to establish a firewall to protect our phones from unwanted access, key logging etc., I think that it should be allowed by the smartphone companies, like there are two sides to every coin, just like that, there are two kind of people, one which need it to secure their phones and one who hack IAP and stuff by using it. I want to say that people would never stop rooting their phones and hacking stuff just because these companies void the warranty, it's like a limitation, how do you know who will use it for the good and who will use it for that bad? So, simply just let people do what they want, they paid for the phones and warranty comes within it. Some tools that could help you root your phone: 1) iRoot (Windows) Some hacking apps due to which smartphone companies don't allow root: 1) Freedom Note: I've not posted the rooting methods, please search Google for that.
2) iRoot (Mobile)
3) Unlock Root (PC Version Only)
4) Framaroot (Android version only)
2) Lucky Patcher
3) SB Game Hacker
