LeEco has delivered quite a strong package for just under Rs. 12, 000. There's a lot to like about the Le 2, especially the fact that it looks and feels like it should cost twice as much as it does. You get powerful hardware and plenty of little conveniences. If the audio and video streaming options appeal to you, that's a nice added bonus as well. As a standalone smartphone, the LeEco Le 2 offers tremendous value for money at Rs 11, 999. The powerful Snapdragon 652 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage are impressive features which ensure that the phone does not falter in the performance department. But LeEco goes even further by adding its Le Ecosystem benefits to the device. The first year of LeEco membership is free for anyone who buys the Le 2, after which you can take a call if you want to continue with it or not.
The LeVidi app is a good start, but we did not get all nine channels running simultaneously despite being in a good Wi-fi environment — we’re lucky enough to be blessed with a 100mbps connection.The content library does not seem to have changed since we first saw the Le 2 at the launch event. Having the same featured movies for months is just sad and I hope LeEco rectifies this. The Live feature which streams satellite TV is great to catch up on news or your favourite TV shows provided you have stable internet connectivity.
The USB Type-C earphones bundled retail for Rs 1, 999 and as a promotional offer, Le 2 buyers will get it for free. Since the headset supports the CDLA standard, you will have to go with LeEco’s Type-C headset. This can be an unwanted cost when buying the device, as unless you have lossless audio you will not really be able to enjoy this headset. The price is also very high for the quality on offer.
