Known as Letv at the time — it has since rebranded to become LeEco, and that’s “eco” for ecosystem.

LeEco Le 2

The LeEco Le2 has similar design and doesn’t show big changes from the predecessor Le 1s. Though there are a lot of things changed when it comes to the internal hardware as well as with the features included. The LeEco Le 2 sports the same 1080p display under the 5.5-inch screen.
