14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese company LeEco promised to conquer the United States with its smartphones, but due to the mismanagement of its resources, it has recently run out of money. But that's no reason not to sell its phones in the country, or is it?
LeEco confirmed a few weeks ago that some of its high-end smartphones will not only be available through its online store but will also hit the shelves at major retailers in the country.
We reported last week that Target already agreed to sell the Le Pro3 and Le S3 smartphones through its official channels. Today, another US major retailer has started to sell both handsets through its webstore, Amazon.
Beginning today, the LeEco Le Pro3 is available for purchase at Amazon for $399. On the other hand, the Le S3 sells for just $249.99. Both devices benefit from free delivery across the country, but the LePro 3 is only available in gold color.
Keep in mind that Amazon offers the 64GB Le Pro 3 model, which packs 4GB of RAM. LeEco also launched a 128GB storage and 6GB RAM variant, but it's not available for purchase in the United Sates yet.
Nevertheless, LeEco Le Pro3 is a pretty decent flagship smartphone powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 821 processor. As mentioned earlier, it packs 64GB of internal memory and 4GB of RAM, but it doesn't come with microSD card slot for memory expansion.
Furthermore, the phone sports a larger 5.5-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. There's also a 16-megapixel camera on the back, which features PDAF (phase detection autofocus), dual-LED flash and 4K video recording, as well as a secondary 8-megapixel camera in the front with full HD (1080p) video recording support.
It's also worth noting that the Le Pro3 doesn't ship with Android 7.0 Nougat on board, but it's powered by a 4,070 mAh battery and packs a fingerprint sensor on the back.
