Meanwhile, Chinese Android vendor LeEco, formerly known as LeTV, just launched three new Android devices that only come with microUSB (Type-C) wired headset support (see top image).
The company had previously brought us the first ever smartphone with a USB Type-C port. One will now have to use USB Type-C digital headphones instead of the more traditional headphones lying around your house. It has a 32GB internal storage capacity and comes with 21MP reac camera with a 8MP front-facing camera. The device stretches out with a 5.7-inch display and bumps resolution up to 2K, and has a ridiculous 6GB of RAM inside. The Le 2 Pro has a 21-megapixel rear camera and a front-facing 8-megapixel unit. The prices starts at 1099 yuan, or $170, which is the price-tag of the Le Eco Le 2.
The third new smartphone announced by LeEco today is the Le 2. Armed with a 3,000mAh battery with fast charging support, the device also including VoLTE among others. These phones are expected to be launched in India on 3rd May. That means a 5.7in QHD screen, speedy Snapdragon 820 CPU, and either 4GB/32GB or 6GB/64GB of RAM and onboard storage. The Le 2 Pro will set buyers back 1,499 yuan ($232 USD), while the base Le Max 2 with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage will cost 2,099 yuan ($324 USD). They are the Le 2, Le 2 Pro and Le Max 2. The latest editions to the LeEco family, Le 2, Le 2 Pro and Le Max 2 are now up for pre-orders starting today. Plus considering all the phones have a metal body, equally important will be how they are able to manage the heat. In China, the Le 2 is launching at 1,099 Yuan (£118) and the Le2 Pro at 1,499 Yuan (£161). After several weeks of leaks and speculations, the LeEco Le 2 has been launched finally. With such a pricing and spec sheet, LeEco is surely going to pose serious competition to other brands including Xiaomi. LeEco solves the self-made problem by bundling earbuds or over-ear headphones that operate through the USB Type-C connector. But the lack of 3.5mm audio jack will not go down well with a lot of uses who are very particular about their audio and are heavily invested in multiple earphones / headphones for different listening experiences.
