LeEco likely to launch new smartphone with 8GB RAM, Snapdragon 821 on 29 June

Last week, there were rumors about LeEco working on a device with 8GB of RAM. Though I thought their just rumors so I thought I'd better not report it. But now if reports floating online are to be believed than it may become a reality soon. The company has put out an official teaser about an event on 29 June. The company has confirmed that it will be revealing a new device at the Mobile World Congress, Shanghai.

According to a previous report, the render of LeEco's new smartphone looks very similar to the recently launched Le Max 2 with a metal build. So, it is believed that the coming device could be just another variant. Speculations are rife that the device could be the Le Max 2 Pro.

The teaser doesn't really say much about the product. But, apart from the 8GB RAM, the highlight of the device is said to be the Snapdragon 821, which is re-branded Snapdragon 823. According to GizChina, the upcoming smartphone from LeEco will be powered by a Snapdragon 821/823 processor even though Snapdragon 820 is compatible with high RAM units. On the camera front, it is expected to come equipped with a whopping 25MP sensor. The device will also get a fingerprint scanner on the back. It is said to carry a price tag that reads 3000 Yuan which translates to roughly Rs 30,000.

The Le Max 2 was recently launched in India starting at Rs 22,999. Sporting a 5.7-inch QHD display, the spec sheet includes 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB onboard storage, 21MP rear snapper, 8MP front camera, Snapdragon 820 and CDLA technology.
