My LeEco Le 1s Fingerprint Sensor - The Best Security Feature

Being a part-time online trader and a full time business man on the move, I have always been worried about losing my phone or my information falling into the wrong hands. Not only do I have to keep my information secure, but I also need access to my online trading accounts at a moment’s notice.

While I have been pretty happy with the conventional security that a 4-digit pin code offers (some phones use lock patterns), there have been times where I lost a good opportunity to make a killing on the commodities market because I was unable to access my accounts fast enough due to the security lock and pin code. I recently read that a person unlocks his devices 110 times a day, I probably unlock my phone at least twice than the average.

Recently, I saw a Le 1s advertisement on Flipkart and I learnt that it had fingerprint scanning technology and I saw this as an answer to my prayers. From the little I understand and some quick google reference, I found out that fingerprint identification technology in phones had the answers to all my security concerns. Since no two finger prints are same, the automated authentication biometric of Le 1s allows just its rightful owner to access the phone. Since identification is based on the fingerprint scanner, it also removes the need to remember a password there by providing an accurate and reliable way to unlock the phone.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Passkeys Feel Way Less Annoying Than Passwords

I recently started using fingerprint-based passkeys on my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Seriously, it is far better than passwords. I do not have to rely on remembering characters, relieving me from hackers and waiting for OTPs every time. I just need to do a fingerprint scan, and it is done!

Anyone else constantly wiping fingerprints off screens?

I use my phone way too much on any given day, and the biggest issue is not the battery, but constantly wiping off fingerprint smudges off the screen. Though my phone is fitted with a screen protector, it makes no difference. I am wondering if anyone else constantly feels the urge to wipe fingerprints off!

Honest review of Le1s after 2 months of usage

Hi Guys,

This is Rajesh and today I am sharing my views on the LeEco Le 1s that I have been using for the past month. Yes, we all know that LeEco, formerly known as Letv, launched two smartphones in the market - Le 1s and Le Max. The Le 1s is priced at Rs. 10999 and the Le Max (64GB) is priced at Rs. 32999. Le 1s is their lowest priced phone but at the same time gives features of a flagship phone. LeEco claims that they are selling Le 1s at lesser than BOM (Bill of Materials) price (which is more than Rs. 16000). Let’s move on to the review then.

BUILD & DESIGN
The first time I opened the box I was like “Wow, awesome!”, yes guys it looks great, it really looks fantastic. One of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen. The mirror-surfaced fingerprint sensor, a smart looking camera and all metal body - all these things make Le 1s a looker! It looks premium and it feels premium. The weight is a bit on the upper side but still with a 5.5-inch Full HD display and bezel-less design it is very handy and easy to use.
9/10

SCREEN & MULTIMEDIA
Le 1s comes with a 5.5-inch LCD IPS Display covered by Gorilla Glass 3. The display is great with awesome colours and contrast levels. It is sharp enough and watching Full HD videos on the display is a visual treat. Mediatek’s clear motion technology is there, so there is not even a single frame drop. It can compete with flagship phones for sure.
9/10

CAMERA
Le 1s comes with a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. Rear camera is an ISOCELL unit with PDAF and high aperture for low light capturing. Still, with all these features, this is where Le 1s suffers a bit. The daylight pictures are good with good details and natural colours but in lowlight the camera is just okay. The pictures turned out to be noisy and macro shots turned out to be “whitish” in low light. I also found some reddish tint on the photo. Front camera is good enough for video calling but for selfie lovers it will be a “hit or miss” as the camera works sometime good and sometime bad. Lots of software optimisation is needed in the camera section as the basic things like “beauty mode” is missing. I hope LeEco will release an OTA update which can rectify these issues. UPDATE: The latest OTA improved the camera experience by a huge margin – both front and rear cameras!
8.5/10

PERFORMANCE
This is where Le 1s outshines every other smartphone in the same category. Le 1s has Mediatek’s current flagship 64-bit Octa Core Processor MT6795 Turbo (aka Helio x10 Turbo) clocked at 2.2 Ghz. Almost every other smartphone in this price range uses cheaper processors while LeEco uses this flagship processor. We can find this processor even in the flagship phone of HTC M9 (Which costs almost 45 K). Le 1s also has 3GB RAM with the system using almost 1.5 GB RAM but still the phone performs very well. No lag at all. Almost every high end game plays butter smooth. I have tested Asphalt 8 and Temple Run, both run fluidly. As far as the performance is concerned, it is really a beast. It warms a little bit, but that is common for all metal smartphones, so not a deal breaker for me.
9.5/10

CONNECTIVITY
Le 1s supports 2G/3G/4G networks in India. Everything is working fine. I didn’t experience any network issue so far. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are up to the mark. Le 1s supports dual SIM - one micro and one nano. Both are working perfectly fine. A small negative side is that it doesn’t support VoLTE, so for Reliance Jio users it is a deal breaker. Still it satisfied me. Thumbs up!
8.5/10

MEMORY
Le 1s comes with 32 GB of internal memory which is really good considering the price. It doesn’t support SD cards but it supports OTG. I was able to connect a 64 GB pen drive through USB Type C OTG cable and it was really fast and I had a nice experience. Overall at this price range it is really good.
8/10

SOUND QUALITY
The external speakers perform well and after plugging in earphones, it sounds really great. It is superior to the competition in this price range. Soothing to the ears and a good option for audiophiles.
8.5/10

PROS:
Stunning design
Premium Feel
Great Display
Good Speakers & Sound Quality

CONS:
Okay Camera
No VoLTE
No External SD card support
Considering the price point of 10999, LeEco provides a super “value for money” product which can break all records in the Indian mobile market. As their tag suggests a #SuperPhone at a #SuperPrice…
Overall Rating: 8.5/10
Verdict: Paisa Wasool..!

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.
   

   

   zjj9kp.jpg721x346

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.
   

   

   4hpldg.jpg715x417

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!
   

   

   14302lu.jpg748x385

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 

Oukitel K6000 Premium Leaks - 6GB Of RAM, 6,000mah Battery, Touch ID

According to the source in Oukitel, they are going to have a new device named OUKITEL K6000 Premium in next few months.

Oukitel redesign the appearance of K6000 Premium to make the phone a true premium piece. We’re talking about Oukitel K6000 Premium which will feature 6GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage according to our source at the company. According to the info, this handset will sport a curved glass back, and will ship with a 13-megapixel camera on both its back and front side. Sony’s IMX258 13-megapixel sensor will be utilized on the device’s back, and we still don’t know which sensor will be used up front (quite probably one of OmniVision’s sensors), but we do know that the company will include a front-facing LED flash here as well. Anyway, the dual 13MP cameras are very attractive for those who like selfies.

Besides, the K6000 Premium will carry a curved glass-smooth back cover like Samsung Galaxy S7, a 5.5-inch AMOLED FHD display, Helio X20 chip set clocked at 2.5GHz, Android 6.0 OS, fingerprint sensor and Hi-Fi audio. Those all seems amazing, but don't know when it is available and what the price is.

Xiaomi’s new flagship Mi 5: Preliminary Review

Xiaomi’s Mi 5 fits a lot of easy classifications. Yes, it’s a poor person’s Galaxy S7 and Apple 6s. And yes, it’s another Chinese phone that wants to wow buyers with good looks and high specs. But what distinguishes is how good it is practically. Is it really worth the hype, let’s find out few pros and cons…?

is Moto X Style a good buy now?

Hi, I was going to through list of mobiles. Configuration wise Moto X Style looks very good. But confusion starts when you look at processor, few new functionalities like fingerprint which are missing, it's a year old mobile in market already and that means it will receive android OS updates for 1 more year only. So should I go for it? Leaving these mentioned things aside, it's a monster. Please help me with this. If new update coming for Style, then i can wait for it.

Which Flagship is the Best Fit?

Hi!

I'm looking to buy a smartphone on Aug, a flagship. My budget is around 50k(Can stretch a bit). I've shortlisted the HTC 10 for now. The S7 has exynos in India, something which has issues and I'm not sold on Samsung. It does not help that S7 is a fingerprint magnet, can break and costly to repair. Are there any better upcoming alternatives? When is the Asus flagship launching in India?(ZenFone 3 Deluxe) Is it worth the wait? Any other alternatives? How's the Note 7 going to be?
 

Help me purchase my new lap top

Most important spec of all is "build quality, service, support". I am willing to pay for that quality!
I have nothing against large PC companies, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Sony, etc. That said, it seems very difficult to get close to what I'm looking for from these main suppliers. I live in the US but discovered in my research, small PC builders, they seem to cater to gamers, hi end business machines, but some will work with someone like me. Some were even in the UK and seemed to be well thought of and some even seemed competitive in price, even with shipping. A question is, is it silly for me to consider looking at these small builders, I might be incorrect in thinking that these smaller shops might take quality/service/support as more important, then say a multinational corp. I'm open to any and all suggestions, directions, opinions. Anybody who has weighed through this long winded request and wants to comment, hey, feel free, I'll be happy to hear any thing you all have to say.

Extras Card readers, fingerprint stuff, docking station. not important. Connections for USB 2 and 3, MDMI, ethernet, yes important.
Battery, What ever battery comes with this PC will be hard pressed to keep up with a 17" display, as stated above, unit will be plugged in most of the time.
Thank you for any help, direction or suggestions.
