LeTV (LeEco) Le 1s hands-on: First look

12 February, 2016
LeTV’s claim for fame was at this year’s CES where Qualcomm announced LeTV would be the make+r of the first phone with the high-end Snapdragon 820 chipset.

Thanks gsm for timely review of this not so impressive 'by the end of the day' useless spec rich phone which lacks quality Camera, battery heating and backup issues, and as you said no great UI which should be fairly universal and useful to all users than simply trying to be unique going custom ways! The policy of scrupless online sellers always pushes the least desirable colors and specs first. So is in this case as they have pushed Gold one in first two sales. I am gonna cancel my order which is on way by getting truer picture of the hoopla raised by full sized news paper ads about it. Let me tell you folks, its not the bombastic specs which make a masterpiece, it is daily use Niceties like Great camera, music, messaging, video making etc coupled with piece of mind things like dependable battery life(non heating of course unless you like to burn fingers on daily basis) which generate a feeling of a day well spent! I hope prospective users are wise enough to take their own call and not be swayed by online swindle sellers and by the tell me one single great phone sold through flash sales which has held its charm after one month??
BS

      Have an issue with this phone. When WiFi is connected,I am not getting notification for WhatsApp, Facebook when the phone is idle, means when I am not accessing these apps. When I am opening these apps, all messages are coming at a time. Have anyone else facing this issue?

          A bit late but better than never, refreshing to see LeTV on GSMArena, I currently have the 1s and I gotta say I am fairly pleased with it.

                  Bought two as gifts for an aged relative and younger one.....It is really a great phone and I cannot find any issue at all.....If it had 64 GB then I would have easily use this as my main mobile phone....really cute and unbelievably fast with 3G RAM....Display is gorgeous, finger print sensor is really accurate, camera may be an issue on certain difficult lighting conditions but in general it is fine.

                    I have some doubt of this phone . there is a problem to messaging app cause when I tap the messages it already delete and why is't theres no home screen . I think its not so good than the other smartphones.

                        2.cameras quality is poor.

                        3.heating problem.

                        Please don't buy this mobile.

                        How can we improve the battery's backup if anysuggestions please reply

                                If this phone come to Indonesia with the price under Rp 2.500.000 it will be the star in this class!

                                  The sample pictures are from Mumbai, India. Also, nice to see the price mentioned in Indian rupees in GSMArena....

                                  I also wish to review for GSMArena, I wonder how does a non staff person go about it?

                                      I be had this for a month. Excellent phone, strong battery, very very nice camera. Worth every cent

                                        It was so difficult not to buy the Le 1s especially with that Brilliant 'USB C' port -A first in the Affordable Category!(Even many costing 5 times dont have it yet). Unfortunately i have a need to keep a lot of stuff(more that 32GB) on ph hence needed to settle for K4 Note.
                                        *Next time LeEco -please include a Memory Slot and 2 speakers in front for me please!!
