Best-in-class features, many industry firsts, and stunning looks make it the winner
New Delhi, Feb. 15, 2016: LeEco’s recently launched flagship killer Le1s reiterates the brand’s image of bringing disruptive technology to global markets. The Le1s is already the market disruptor, having sold record breaking units in just few seconds of its sale. The Superphone which comes at a sustainable price of INR 10,999 re-defines the value segment, and challenges flagship smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S6, which are priced much higher, INR 33900 and HTC One M9+ at INR 41000 respectively. Stunning design, best-in-class technology, and compelling features make Le1s the winner hands down!
Design
Le1s has a trendy full-metal body – it is one of the few brands in the market worldwide to have so. It is no wonder that Le1s has been the top seller in China since its release last October – has sold more than 2 million units in just two months. Le1s’s metal uni-body is breathtakingly sturdy and made for perfection with aircraft grade aluminum, which makes it solid and reliable — the CNC processing duration of 3300s is exquisitely crafted for a seamless experience as a whole. The Le Superphones are possibly the world’s only metal uni-body devices that feature a screw-less industrial design leaving no trace of industrial assembling on the body.
And surprisingly, although Le1s is a full-metal phone, its weight is 169 gm, 23 gm lighter than the same-screen sized 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. The metal design also not only provides full signal but also strengthens it. Compared to the same full-metal iPhone 6s Plus, Le1s has a better signal performance.
