On account of the financial backing Le 1s it has some truly “huge” shoes to fill halfway because of the notoriety of its greater kin the Le Max.

Originating from the Le Max, we truly had no idea whether LeEco would convey an incredible or even a normal showcase inspite the blend of good equipment inside; turns out we ought not have questioned them. Regardless, the 5.5-inch, Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) in-cell showcase was over our desires, considering the cost and the mid-range processor this financial plan handset packs in.
The showcase was surely as brilliant as specified amid the dispatch occasion (500nits) and faired sensibly well both inside and outside.
