About:
The leEco Le 2 runs android 6.0.1 and is supercharged by a
3000mAh non removable battery.
The Le 2 is fairly similar to its predecessors, with just a few tweaks and twists. It carries forward the metal body and fingerprint reader which made the Le 1s stand out, as well as the Le Ecosystem content and membership which gave the Le 1s Eco its identity. However, it's also slightly more expensive and has at least one feature that will polarise potential buyers.

Look and feel:
The front is glass with
body-coloured panels above and below the screen, while the sides and rear have
a buffed metal finish except for bands of shiny polished metal where the sides
meet the front and back. Surprisingly, this phone still has the old LeTV logo
on the back, unlike the Le Max 2 which launched at the same time.
Software:
LeEco comes with the
proprietary EUI skin atop Android 6.0 Marshmallow. In terms of the design
language, it is not very different from the user interface seen on the first
generation LeEco handsets. There is no app drawer, so all apps that you
download are on multiple home screens.
Specifications
The Le 2's screen measures 5.5 inches
and has a resolution of 1080x1920, just like the screens of its predecessors.
Colours are fairly punchy although blacks aren't as deep as we would have
liked. We had no complaints with brightness, even outdoors in the daytime.
There's a 16-megapixel rear camera with a dual-tone flash, and an 8-megapixel
front one. You can record videos at 4K resolution with the primary camera.
Performance
Given its highly capable hardware, it's
no surprise that the Le 2 worked without giving us any reason to complain. Apps
loaded quickly and there was pretty much nothing we threw at this phone that
could choke it. Most people should be perfectly satisfied with the level of
performance on offer here, even when it comes to current-day 3D games such as
Asphalt 8: Airborne. We were happy to note that the phone didn't get
unreasonably warm even when gaming.
