In a country where a new smartphone is launched almost every week, very few stand out from the crowd. Even rarer is two smartphones from the same company that are different enough to warrant further inspection. Nonetheless, LeEco - a relatively new entrant in the smartphone space in India - manages to do just that with its latest phones, the Le 1s and Le Max.
For one, they're fast enough for everything you need and much, much more. The Le Max is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It's an octa-core Snapdragon 810 SoC rated at 2GHz and comes with 4GB RAM. Not to be left behind the Le 1s. LeEco has packed it in with a MediaTek Helio X10 chip along with 3GB RAM. Also known as the MT6795T, it too has eight cores and is clocked at 2.2GHz.
Both the Le 1s and the Le Max have more than enough processing power and memory to blaze through the most graphically intensive games like Dead Trigger 2 or Asphalt 8, capture those blink-and-you-miss-it moments quickly, or simply browse through your Facebook wall with ease. Regardless of your choice, you're in for a stutter-free experience.
But what's a fast processor and ample RAM without adequate storage? LeEco's phones have ample storage place to let you live your life kingsize minus worries. With 32GB storage on the Le 1s and 64GB on the Le Max, you won't run out of space for your photos, videos, music anytime soon. And with support for USB On-The-Go (OTG) you can use a thumb drive to easily expand the space available to you. A handy addition that ensures you'll never quite worry about running out of space for all the things you love.
Furthermore, LeEco's dynamic duo comes with high quality displays that let you view it all from any angle. The Le 1s has a 1080x1920 pixel, full HD display that measures 5.5-inches, while the Le Max has a 1440x2560 pixel, wide quad high definition display measuring 6.3-inches. They sport fantastic viewing angles, and pack in razor sharp images with vibrant colours. So whether you're watching movies or checking out photos, rest assured they look just as good as they should be on either phone.
Finally, there's one for every budget. LeEco has priced both of these gems competitively. The Le 1s retails at Rs. 10,999, making it one of the most feature packed, powerful smartphones in its price range. Looking for something a little more extravagant? The Le Max is at Rs. 32,999, without a doubt, one of the more economically-priced flagship phones in the market right now.
Some might argue that the smartphone war has cooled off in recent months thanks to an apparent lack of innovation. But with LeEco's latest couple of phones sporting killer specs and disruptive price points, the smartphone war has just started to heat up making 2016 appearing to be one of the bigger years for the category.
