The LeEco Le Pro 3 is official

LeEco has officially unveiled the Le Pro 3 in China. In terms of specs, it's a beast of a phone with top of the line hardware and a massive battery. It’s not as much of a beast as we expected, however.

LeEco's Le Pro 3 boasts of a 5.5-inch FHD display with 2.5D glass and a Snapdragon 821 SoC backed by up to 6GB of RAM (though we were expecting 8GB) under the hood. The rear camera is a 16MP, f/2.0 unit with PDAF and dual-LED flash; it can also record 4K video at 30fps. The front camera is an 8MP unit with an f/2.2 aperture and is capable of recording at 1080p.

The phone runs eUI 5.8, which is a skin on top of Android 6.0 (we expected Nougat). As with the Le 2 and Le Max 2, LeEco dumps the 3.5mm headphone jack the in favour of CDLA (digital audio over USB Type-C).

You get the usual array of sensors in the form of a fingerprint reader, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, etc. The usual connectivity options of Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, etc., are also present. All of this draws juice from a 4,070 mAh battery.

The phone will be available in Rose Gold, Gold, Silver and Gray in the following configurations:

• 4GB RAM, 32GB storage: 1799 Yuan (around Rs 18,000)
• 6GB RAM, 64GB storage: 1999 Yuan (around Rs 20,000)
• 4GB RAM, 32GB storage special edition: 2499 Yuan (around Rs 25,100)
• 6GB RAM, 128GB storage special edition: 2999 Yuan (around Rs 30,100)

The special edition models are identical to the regular models in terms of hardware and design (except for storage options). They're more expensive because they include a subscription to LeEco’s video service.

The devices are yet to launch in India.

LeEco Pro 3 rumoured to feature 5,000mAH battery in a 7mm body

LeEco has made some impressive smartphones in the past and it looks like the company is going to keep up with the flow. A recent leak has popped up suggesting that the Chinese company is working on a new smartphone called the LeEco Pro 3.

While the hardware specs of the handset could include the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, the real head turner could be design. GizmoChina suggests that the smartphone will feature a 5,000mAH battery packed in a slim design measuring at just 7mm. If true, then it will be quite an achievement as the Xiaomi Redmi 3S packs a 4,100 battery with an 8.5mm thickness while the Gionee M6 with its 5,000mAH battery is 8.2mm thick.

The Le Pro 3 scores over 163K points on the AnTuTu benchmark, 163546 to be exact, making it much more powerful than any other smartphone that we have seen lately. All thanks to the power packed specs which include Snapdragon 821 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The smartphone is also likely to feature a 16MP rear camera, and an 8MP front-facing camera. The smartphone could also come with a new software that will have video content, social integration, and some more entertainment features. There is a possibility of new partnership as well.

No specific date for the launch is confirmed, but rumours point to a September launch in China. On the other hand, Xiaomi is also expected to launch the Mi Note 2 which will also feature a Snapdragon 821 processor.
