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.
LeEco leaps to Top 2 brand with most market attention
The figures from the report show that LeEco secured greater percentage of market attention of 25%, and the ranking has remarkable risen to Top 2, right behind Apple now, from the 4th position back in January. It has well surpassed Samsung and other competitors within no more than four months since its first entrance to the market.

More than that, LeEco has a long-term and highly-anticipated plan for India and is committed to bringing the complete vertically-integrated Ecosystem to India. In order to take the user experience to a new height, LeEco has already signed deals with ErosNow for Video-on-demand (VOD) and with YuppTV for TV content streaming.
