The LeEco was launched at a price tag of Rs 10, 999 in India. The phone looks a lot more premium compared to what the price tag suggests. A majority of those who saw and used the phone, clearly thought that it would be priced in the Rs 15, 000 to Rs 25, 000 price bracket and this is all thanks to its metal body.
Starting from the front we have 5.5-inch Full HD display with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 screen to protect it. The look is very minimal and we have the LED notification light, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, receiver and the front facing camera on the top bezel, while the bottom bezel features capacitive multi-tasking, home and back keys that light up only when the display is on.
On the back we have a primary camera accompanied by a single LED flash top left. Sitting a little below at the centre is the fingerprint reader with the Letv logo below it. Also visible are the gold coloured plastic inserts on the top and bottom that have been placed for better reception for the smartphone’s antennas.
Coming to the sides, we get 3.5mm headphone jack on the top that is also accompanied by an IR blaster. The IR blaster is used when the smartphone is used as a remote control via the Remote Control app.
At the bottom we get the USB Type C port, which is flanked by the smartphone’s loudspeaker grilles on both sides. Only the grille on the right side hosts the actual loudspeaker.
On the sides, we have a sim tray for the dual 4G sim slots( one micro and the other a nano), while the right side sports the volume rocker and the unlock/power button.
