Le 1s is the first offering from LeEco in India and this has raised the benchmark for budget smartphones in the Indian market. LeEco’s has tried to make a smartphone that tries to check all the boxes and this has provided the Le 1s with an edge over its rivals. Although there are a number of reasons it should be the phone to purchase in the affordable segment, here we’ll be highlighting the five topmost reasons why you should consider buying it.
Premium Design
The budget smartphone market may be flooded with a plenty of good-looking phones, but there are barely any with a full-metal unibody design. The Le 1s sports one of the most beautiful designs in its segment, crafted entirely from metal. The manufacturer has paid special attention to the device design aesthetics as it sports rounded edges and an almost bezel-less display.
Powerful Hardware
At its heart is an octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor coupled with 3 GB of RAM that ensures enhanced multitasking capabilities. The phone includes 32 GB of internal storage (of which around 29 GB is user accessible). All these specs are usually found in top-of-the-line smartphones and its surprising to see such powerful hardware can be deployed in a smartphone at such budget price.
Fingerprint Sensor
Though this has become a standard in budget smartphone industry these days, but this has to have an honorable mention as the manufacturer has not made any compromise in terms of build quality, hardware or display and still decided yo have a fingerprint sensor at the back. We are still not sure how the manufacturer can has an almost perfect device at such price. So talking about the fingerprint sensor, it’s fast when it works, but it isn’t the best in recognising your fingerprint. It works perfectly 8 out of 10 times and sometimes we have to align our finger in the right orientation to unlock the device.
Impressive Battery and Fast Charging
The Le 1s has a lot of juice in its 3,000mAh battery to power all the hardware. Going with the new trend, the smartphone has a USB Type-C port for charging which allows the users to insert the cable in either orientation. The company says the fast charging features of the Le 1s can offer up to 3.5 hours of talk time on a charge of just 5 minutes.
Aggressive Pricing
Le 1s is a complete package that will offer excellent performance, beautiful premium design, all at a budget price of ₹10,999. It is a great smartphone and has certainly impressed us with its performance.
