Hot on the heels of the Le 1s and the Le 1s Eco, Chinese smartphone upstart LeEco has launched their successor, the Le 2. We’re all for keeping things fresh, especially since new competitors come out every week or two, but this launch is still surprisingly quick. Hopefully, those who bought either of the previous two models won’t feel too miffed, while those who are trying to decide which phone to buy will feel like they’re getting extra value.
With that kind of balance to maintain, LeEco hasn’t done very much to change its formula. 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. Read on to see what’s new, and whether LeEco has managed to keep things interesting.
