The Chinese company LeEco entered the Russian market loudly - I think many of you have, to one degree or another, seen advertising from YouTubers, on TV or on the Internet. This is understandable; in its homeland, the company is one of the major producers of not only various equipment, but also video content. And when I talk about video content, I mean the largest online video platform in China.

Smartphone Leeco Le 2 X527 officially for Russia
Hi all. Today I want to talk about Leeco Le 2 X527 - one of the first smartphones from LeTV officially sold for Russia, and perhaps soon it will appear in MTS and other Svyazny stores. The promotion for the start of sales was very coolly promoted, and the main PR man of last year’s hysteria from JD.com was in charge of the action. So I expected deception in delivery times or the absence of a real product, but everything went more or less tolerably. The catch turned out to be the quality of the product itself. details in the review: The smartphone cost me $149 due to a discount of $76 (minus $14.9 cashback - generally super) Although my opinion is the real price of such a smartphone. There is a Leeco Cool1 on sale for only $25 ($170) more expensive - we get a +30% battery, a headphone jack and a dual camera (it’s not clear about it yet, I’ll check it the other day). Based on the price of Cool1, we understand that $149 is quite an adequate price for Le2! Especially considering the price reduction for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. And new Xiaomi is on the way, most likely with Snapdregon 625/652... Bought on September 19, delivery SPSR. The delivery service received the order only on the 27th, and with the promised 15 days of delivery, the total time was 14. I received the smartphone on October 3.

Now my personal opinion on each point: Screen:
It has mediocre quality - at small angles there is fading and loss of brightness/contrast (noticeably worse than XRN3Pro for example, I will continue to compare with it). The photo doesn't show it, but the video shows everything very clearly. The screen is most likely not IPS, but a high-quality TFT TN - at angles large areas of the picture are darkened and gray halftones are inverted. There is no purple shifting or flaring that is usual for IPS when looking diagonally.
Additional Information

There is enough brightness in the sun (although it’s October, there may be difficulties on the beach)
Additional Information
Minimum brightness is slightly higher than XRN3Pro
Additional Information
Auto brightness works well. You can customize the color gamma of the screen, as in all modern mid-range smartphones: There is an option for scaling, font size and other things - there are a lot of settings:
Additional Information
Processor
: Has two clusters - 4 powerful Cortex A72 cores, and 4 Cortex A53 cores.
Really very fast, 82,000 in Antuta and 18,800 of them in the 3D test - this is very cool. About the same level as the Galaxy S6. Adreno 510 video accelerator: it is also more than enough for top games, and even recording from the screen does not ruin performance as in X20 media libraries (with their Mali), for example. Throttling
: (
CORRECTED
) There is no significant overheating, although the smartphone is hot to the touch - the performance drop is about 7% - and it did not get lower even after another 30 minutes of testing.
Throttling
RAM
: Quite fast 3Gb - enough for everything for now.
Additional information
The drive
was determined to be from Toshiba, manufactured in May 2020. Quite fast, but not a champion.
Additional Information
There is nothing to add here - see the test results.
Performance tests
WiFi speed
(connection to my 300 megabit router) showed 150 megabits. According to the tariff, the speed is 70 (it doesn’t show lower on the wire), the smart is not bad at this - almost the maximum.
WiFi range (reception sensitivity)
is normal
WiFi reception
A meter from the router
Five meters behind 2 walls
In the corridor there are 8 meters to the router and three brick walls
Navigation
: like all modern smart phones, it sees GPS and Glonass and Chinese Beidou. The accuracy and stability are excellent.
GPS Test
Charger
manufactured by Hui Zhou Dong Yang: 12V-5V/3-2A This is cool - it charges up to 70% in half an hour:
But fast charging works strangely: Turning fast charging on/off has NO effect.
And it turned out that during this time only half of it was poured!
An equally interesting meter-long cable for charging and synchronizing with a PC. At one end there is a standard Type-C, at the other there is a double-sided large USB - a Chinese invention
An external review showed a high quality of fit of parts, the entire back panel is made of metal. The inserts at the top and bottom are made of metal - the body is not unibody like the iPhone. There are microscopic irregularities in the chamfers around the screen. The flash is two-tone, not very bright like a flashlight, but I liked it as a flash.
Main camera
:
Complete disappointment
. Almost all photos come out blurry. Either stock or other cameras. Only in bright sunlight can you get a more or less detailed picture. At a distance of more than 2 meters, there is sometimes detail. True, all the pictures are a little dark, and there is nothing in the shadows - FS will not correct it. If you have the Galaxy S5, Nubia Z9, Xiaomi Redmi 3s/Note 3 Pro on hand for comparison, then you understand that we’ve been seriously... deceived! on the left XRN3Pro - on the right Le 2 - can you see the DIFFERENCE?
Here are the original photos (taken with flash) cloud.mail.ru/public/8M9r/v53aRChLB cloud.mail.ru/public/FFQ4/qzCMFrbyX
In many photos, there are many areas that are washed out. It seems to be software. I tried to measure the world, the camera takes 1 out of 10 pictures clearly and then with a resolution more like 6-7 megapixels. Areas from ONE FRAME: Photo samples (compressed):
With flash
Night Original photos and videos here: cloud.mail.ru/public/EmMQ/VqvRoWSon The video is shot in 4K resolution. Bitrate is low. I shoot with a Snap camera with a bitrate of 62mbps, the result is better (the speed of the CPU and built-in storage allows 100mbps), but it’s still a little dark. It's like the contrast is gone.
Sample video
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv627cht0pI
ADDED 06.10
I checked a lot of cameras (applications) and their settings:
I found several oddities
- When taking macro photographs, the focus is actually a quarter deeper than the tap on the screen!
When photographing with a zoom, it is CLEARLY SEEN that the picture is blurred after the PICTURE is taken. Those. When you hover on the screen, there is a clear picture, but after taking the picture, it still appears soapy. The SIZE of a picture
with any camera is 3-4 megabytes, the same picture on XRN3Pro is 7-8 megabytes!
Front-camera
. Shoots 8mp, 1080p video. There is no autofocus, there is facial enhancement. Surprisingly not bad. Good for selfies. You can shoot a video with her, but at a distance of no more than a meter, then everything is very cloudy.
Camera app interface
very simple - minimum settings:
Additional Information
Gsm/3g/lte reception
in the basement/elevator is better than average. The quality of the transmitted sound during a conversation is good.
The dialer
has Cyrillic in the quick search and on the keyboard and in the contact list
Additional Information
:
There are interesting items in the settings... but they are not active - we apply them until they are done and inserted.
Additional Information
The multimedia speaker
is quite loud, not squeaky, and tries to convey rich sound. The conversational one does not wheeze, it is heard perfectly, there is a reserve in volume.
Smartphone plays video
anyone can easily work in a VR helmet without straining, thanks to the presence of a bunch of sensors. There are a huge number of them: Gyroscope, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, magnetometer, rotation sensor, hall sensor, linear acceleration, rotation, step detector, proximity and lighting of course
Fingerprint sensor
: it works a little slower than XRN3Pro, it seemed to me that the number of recognitions was two times lower, but then I got the hang of it. Recognizes 7 out of 10 attempts.
Infrared port
, it works, the application is preinstalled. But the music center does not know how to class.
Shell
: LeeCo's add-on to Android 6.0.1 is called EUI, here it is version 5.8 at the moment. I won’t talk about it, because you could write a book on it)) in short, you can say - it’s like MIUI from Xiaomi, only a little different. There is a “Double application” - to run two copies of one application at the same time - but so far it has only one application, and it’s Chinese.
Additional Information
Battery
at 3000mAh, not enough for games on the road (you might suddenly be left without a connection), but in principle it’s quite enough for a day of average activity. Up to 6 hours of screen time at full brightness and 3g (people with 4pda reported) - this is not bad at all. With my load it will definitely last for 2 days. Difficulties with cables for power banks - you need adapters to Type-C. I also noticed that it doesn’t want to charge from the computer’s USB! In 2 hours it was charged by 15%. It also takes a long time to charge from a regular 2A charger - it takes only 1000mAh.
Peculiarities
The unusual thing about this smartphone is the promised warranty in Russia, even for a broken screen (I’m almost sure it’s a fake and the warranty will state that mechanical damage cannot be a warranty case) Fast free delivery. A large Chinese manufacturer that is going to produce an ecosystem up to an electric car. In the kit you can get free subscriptions to all sorts of services as a gift: be careful, when registering you are asked to enter your credit card details, and a promise to withdraw money automatically after the end of the free period! Powerful platform, high-quality metal case.
Video review,
Sample video of swans: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv627cht0pI The video is without YouTube recompression, the quality is much better, the link to the cloud with the files is above.
Minuses:
— The camera is noticeably worse than that of the XRN3Pro (soapy and dark). The ISO is too high, the flash is messy. — The screen is worse (angles are inversion of dark tones) than the XRN3Pro
I WILL ADD: yesterday another glitch was discovered: when talking for more than half an hour, or recording with a voice recorder or camera, the sound begins to gurgle, disappears randomly for half a second and is restored. I've already noticed it on 4pda - I've seen several mentions of it. Download audio file >> cloud.mail.ru/public/Gfdk/bVRLy4ZJz The camera is worse than even the cheap Xiaomi Redmi 3S (on manual settings - almost equal) The Le2 has a potentially good camera, but its controls are buggy - ISO goes off scale to 4000, autofocus misses in depth (experiments confirmed), compresses jpeg excessively to 2-4mb, Xiaomi 16mp - 7-8mb. The flash takes too long to analyze something, and still the camera misses and sets the ISO/shutter speed incorrectly! Well, the screen at small angles loses gray shades - sometimes completely! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDVR1xruwjQ I would really like to hope that at least the camera will be fixed with firmware.
Many people hear a squeaking sound from the Type-C connector; it even interferes when recording video on a smartphone camera. I can barely hear it, it’s not on the recordings. I checked the graph using the SpecScope program, the microphone of the Sony tablet hears light background noise with peaks.
Expected features and minor/subjective disadvantages.
— The fingerprint sensor works worse than the XRN3Pro — There is no option to install MicroSD (unlike the XRN3Pro) — Black mournful frames around the screen — No headphone jack — Heats up a little more than the XRN3Pro
Pros
— Performance is a little higher than the XRN3Pro — Fast charging — Looks more interesting body - Warranty in Russia - Cheaper ($145 on sale) than XRN3Pro 3/32 I hope the camera will be fixed by software, the sensor is not that bad. And for games and other things, the smartphone is great. Complaints about the screen arise only if you recently had some kind of high-quality smart device in your hands, or if you are a photographer)) it’s better for them to bypass this piece of Chinese marketing a kilometer away.
PS Fixed a bug about TROTTING, added a video review. Added cons
Appearance
It must be admitted that the appearance of Le 2 does not have any special claims to uniqueness - we have seen such a design more than once. Here we have an aluminum body with rounded edges, and stripes on the back panel, under which the antennas are hidden.
On the sides of the USB Type C connector at the bottom, at the end, there are speakers, and an LED indicator with a front camera lens on either side of the earpiece at the top.
On the front panel there is a 5.5-inch screen framed by a thick black 3 mm frame. Below, under it, are the touch keys “menu”, “home” and “back”. They light up pleasantly when touched.
There is a glossy metal edging along the perimeter of the case. On the back panel, made of a textured, slightly rough material, there is a main camera lens, a fingerprint sensor and an LED flash.
Below the antenna is the company logo.
The connectors are located in a standard manner: on the left we have a slot for nanoSIM cards. On the right are the volume keys and power on/off keys.
At the top of the end, where the audio output for the headset is usually located, there is an infrared transmitter point. Initially, it is designed for the user to use Le 2 as a remote control for LeEco TVs, because one of the main directions of the company, as I already said, is video content. There are no LeEco brand TVs in Russia yet, although everything is moving towards this, and yet the smartphone can be used as a remote control for a third-party TV or any other equipment; the software contains a gigantic database of devices from almost all well-known manufacturers.
And now about the missing 3.5 mm audio jack. The smartphone does not have it; instead, there is an adapter that comes in the package, and it must be connected to the USB Type-C connector. It’s inconvenient, but it looks like a new iPhone and was done before.
Equipment
A quality item is quality in everything. Thus, the box for Le 2 is made of thick white cardboard. The phone itself and its accessories are neatly laid out inside. A seller from one of the popular Chinese sites decided to include protective glass as a gift. Thanks to him.
It’s funny that among the quite standard components there was an adapter from USB Type-C to 3.5 mm for connecting regular headphones.
Refusal of the 3.5 mm port is a bold, perhaps innovative step, on the other hand, the manufacturer hedged its bets. The main thing for us is not to lose the adapter, otherwise you will be without music for a month while the treasured cable comes from China.
Display
LeEco Le 2 is equipped with a 5.5-inch screen with FullHD resolution 1920x1080 and a pixel density of 401 ppi. The screen is made on an IPS matrix and supports up to 10 simultaneous touches.
There is correct and adequate automatic brightness adjustment. It is worth noting that the maximum brightness is enough for comfortable reading of information from the screen even in bright daylight, and a good anti-glare coating makes working with the screen as convenient as possible.
As for the oleophobic coating, it is not only present, but also copes with its main task perfectly. There aren't many fingerprints left on the screen, and those that do appear are easily erased.
In the screen settings you can set the level of contrast and saturation, but even with the default settings, the image looks the most advantageous.
Convenience and ergonomics
We’ve already talked about the sharp bevel on the front panel, now let’s touch on the issue of ease of use in general. Despite the fact that a 5.5-inch screen was installed here, the smartphone does not look like a shovel. Next to the iPhone 6S Plus, it looks like a compact and balanced solution.
I recently used the budget Cubot Dinosaur - but it’s much more difficult to use with the same display. This is due to the large thickness and not very ergonomic body of the device.
Our character is more balanced both in weight and size. It is quite easy to operate even with one hand. Despite the metal body, it does not try to slip out of your hand every second.
By default, the vibration response here is very noticeable. This is slightly annoying, because during vibration the entire phone rattles. Our hero is very far from the Taptic Engine, like in the iPhone 6s. This cannot be corrected using standard means. The only thing is that you can adjust the vibration when typing via the touch keyboard.
Camera
The smartphone received a main camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels with LED flash and autofocus and a front camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels.
As for the pictures taken with the main camera, they come out standard for this resolution: the pictures are good, but not impressive. In principle, if you want to photograph nature or the shadow of a building for publication on Instagram, you will be able to convey the colors.
Pixelation is minimal and noticeable when shooting in the dark and at night.
In the camera settings you can adjust ISO, white balance, contrast, etc.
The only thing that surprised me was the macro shooting. It is simply impossible to focus on something closer than 10 centimeters from the camera. The press service assures and provides evidence that a day after the smartphone was delivered, a firmware update was received that corrected this problem.
The front camera surprisingly takes pictures at a level lower than I'm used to seeing from 8 MP lenses. Selfies turn out to be a C, blurred and overexposed, but the camera is quite suitable for video chats.
Video is recorded on the main camera in 4K resolution.
OS and interface
The smartphone runs Android 6.0.1 and the proprietary EUI 5.8 interface.
And if usually in Chinese companies the interface is only slightly modified (icons, background), then LeEco decided to work hard on its shell. There is no menu of installed applications, the notification menu, reboot menu and even the quick access menu have been changed.
If you like to play with the themes and appearance of your smartphone desktops, then EUI 5.8 will be a delight for you.
In addition to changing themes, you can arrange application icons in a random order, change not only the font size, but also the scaling of the desktop in general, and also disable touch control buttons.
You can also install a system for controlling cameras, players, or unlocking programs on the fingerprint scanner.
There are only three pre-installed programs: a phone manager that allows you to control the smartphone’s memory, a weather widget and applications for controlling the smartphone as a remote control.
This, of course, does not count the partner applications. I can’t write anything about them - my sample was from the earliest batches and they didn’t work there - but for buyers everything works as it should, including the promised 3 months of content for free.
Performance, RAM and le2 software
An eight-core platform and a decent amount of RAM makes it possible to load not the easiest games into a smartphone. The big minus, of course, is the inability to add a memory card.
The Google interface does not at all resemble itself in the X527 model, because it has been completely redesigned. The EUI 5.8 shell of this Chinese version of Android allows you to control the system with just a few applications, including memory management, energy distribution, saving files and applications.
This firmware allows you to use a fingerprint method of communication with a smartphone and also allows you to control the camera, photo gallery, and player.
In the AnTuTu test, the smartphone scores more than 80,000 parrots, which indicates the great gaming capabilities of this device.
Iron
The hardware platform is an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652, consisting of 4 ARM Cortex-A72 cores with a clock frequency of up to 1.8 GHz and four 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.4 GHz.
GPU Adreno 510 @600 MHz is responsible for graphics. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, the amount of internal memory is 32 GB. Unfortunately, there is no option to expand the memory.
LeEco didn't skimp on performance. This hardware is enough for multitasking, running programs and heavy applications and even demanding games. There will be no problems with scrolling pages in the browser or freezing of the interface.
Despite the load on the smartphone and the number of running programs, heating at the top of the Le 2 is not critical.

Let's sum it up
LeEco Le 2 is a good mid-priced smartphone. It is no worse or better than other models from various companies. It has both its pros and cons, and the first thing that comes to mind after using Le 2 is the phrase “suitable average.”
The advantages are powerful hardware and high performance results, excellent autonomy, and of course the price (and especially during sales). Among the minuses, we can note the camera, which during my test had not yet been updated; some may not like the lack of a 3.5 mm jack.
I have already voiced my opinion about LeEco smartphones - you need to buy this kind of hardware for that kind of money.
And then calculate how much the free pre-installed services cost and buy a second one for your wife, mother or friend. Final score: 7 out of 10.
i-SHOPPERS.net - product reviews and reviews of online stores
In the second half of April, the LeEco company (formerly LeTV) presented the world with three of its new products - the Le Max 2, Le 2 Pro and Le 2 smartphones. The most advanced of them was Le Max 2, and the most affordable is the Le 2 device. But we'll talk about the middle model of the new line – the Le 2 Pro model.
A feature of all new smartphones from LeEco is the fact that there is no standard 3.5 mm audio jack for the headset. There is no headphone jack as usual, and in this respect the manufacturer decided to be like Apple, which decided not to equip the new iPhone models with an audio jack. As an alternative, we get a universal USB Type-C connector. Yes, there are very few headphones with such a connector on sale now, and they are not cheap. But this does not mean that users are deprived of the opportunity to use their usual headsets. After all, you can always use an adapter from USB Type-C to a 3.5 mm audio jack and plug your good old headphones into it. In addition, no one has canceled Bluetooth headsets.
Sales of smartphones have already started in China. And the start was stunning. Total sales of Le Max 2, Le 2 Pro and Le 2 exceeded 1 million units in just the first two hours.
Well, now is the time to get acquainted with the characteristics of the smartphone. CHARACTERISTICS OF LEECO LE 2 PRO:
- processor: Mediatek Helio X25 (10 cores) or Helio X20 (10 cores) - graphics: Mali-T880 MP4 - display: 5.5 inches, 1080 x 1920, pixel density 401 ppi - memory: 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM - cameras : main 21 megapixel, f/2.0 and front 8 megapixel - OS: Android 6.0 - modules: Bluetooth 4.2, WIFI, GPS, fingerprint scanner - communication: dual nanoSIM, 2G/3G and 4G FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600 MHz - battery: 3000 mAh - dimensions and weight: 151 x 74 x 7.5 mm, 153 g.
Smart phones can be found on sale in two modifications. In the older version, the heart of the hardware platform was the powerful new Helio X25 processor. It has 10 cores: 2 Cortex-A72 cores @ 2.5 GHz, 4 Cortex-A53 cores @ 2 GHz and 4 Cortex-A53 cores @ 1.4 GHz. The younger Le 2 Pro will also be equipped with a 10-core processor, but a little simpler - Helio X20. There are no other differences between the versions.
The volume of built-in memory was 32 GB. At the same time, there is no possibility to expand it using memory cards - such a slot is simply not provided.
A 21-megapixel Sony IMX230 sensor with phase detection autofocus, two-color LED flash and f/2.0 aperture optics is responsible for the photographic capabilities here. We also note a fast fingerprint scanner based on the Qualcomm Sense ID 3D sensor.
The smartphone supports Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging. The 3000 mAh battery is built into the metal body.
The software part is powered by the latest Android 6.0 with the proprietary LEUI 5.8 shell pre-installed.
And now about the price. In China, the officially announced price tag is 1499 yuan (equivalent to $230) for the Le 2 Pro model. But we know that the price for China and for the rest of the world are two big differences. Therefore, for us, the price of a smartphone will be approximately $260 for the younger version with the HELIO X20 processor. We'll tell you where to buy Le 2 Pro below.
WHERE TO BUY LEECO LE 2 PRO:
