The handset is priced at Rs 32,999/- and LeEco claims they are selling these devices at a price which is below the production cost. This is possible because they’ve partnered with various companies for their ecosystem. For now, they have partnered with Eros Entertainment and YuppTV. Also, every phone comes with 1 year worth YuppTV Premium for free.
Design and display:
The LeMax is unquestionably a good looking handset that is particularly great for those who want at a really big screen device. Its metal body gives it a premium look and feel, and the phone seems sturdy.
The front of the phone particularly looks spectacular due to the edge to edge running display, with very thin bezels. LeEco has smartly played with the front design, as you will not be able of notice the narrow bezel on side of display until you wake the screen up.
This makes the display look even bigger and the front look pretty, speaking of display quality, the 6.3-inch display with 2K resolution with 2560x1440 pixels display is a visual delight and absolutely stunning. It reproduces colours well and offers good viewing angles.
Bottom side of the phone is home to USB Type C port and speakers and the top has a slot for audio jack. The left and right sides have power key, volume keys, Wi-Fi HDMI port, and slots to accommodate SIM card.
Fingerprint Scanner
If you have big hands then you won’t face any problem in reaching the fingerprint scanner placed at the back of the phone below the primary camera. The fingerprint scanner is fast and can be used to capture photos as well.
More and more apps coming up with support for Fingerprint Scanners will make the Fingerprint Scanners more useful than they already are adding an extra level of security to the apps as well, especially apps from which you carry out monetary transactions.
Chipset, RAM, Storage.
A good display needs some good horse power to push all the those pixels, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 seems to be a worthy contender. The Le Max sports a 2.0 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 810 chipset with the Adreno 430 running the graphics and the multi-tasking handled by the 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM module. Internal storage for our review unit was limited to 64GB and the smartphone does not pack in support for external storage.
During our hands-on, we noticed no lag whatsoever while browsing, opening apps and even multi-tasking.
OS, Connectivity:
Keeping the content services in mind, LeEco has done a good job with the software. Our hands-on with the device showcased software that allowed for plenty of customisations. the Le Max runs Android 5.0 (Lollipop) with the EUI (Eco User Interface) skinning that delivers plenty of useful touches that can be found throughout the UI. Like for example, the keypad grid for the lockscreen will show up on the right or the left side, depending on where you swipe up to unlock.
LeEco has literally packed in everything it could find. You get a MHL 3.0, USB Type C, 3.5mm audio jack, Wireless HDMI, 4G bands, WiFi 802.11ac/a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1 with APT-X, GPS, an IR blaster and finally NFC.
Camera:
The Le Max sports a 21MP primary camera with a dual-tone LED flash on the back and an 4MP front-facing unit for selfies. The 21MP rear-facing unit packs in a Sony IMX230 Sensor, OIS, f/2.0 aperture and even dual ISP support. The 4MP unit up front comes from OmniVision (OV4688 sensor) and is accompanied by a 81.6-degree wide-angle lens.
Battery
The LeEco Le Max sports a non-removable 3400mAh battery. Somehow we all felt that it was a bit small considering its mammoth size, but it can be attributed to the device’s weight, which is why we think it was justified. Anything bigger than a 3400mAh battery would have certainly made the large Le Max a heavyweight indeed. How long it will last, we can only confirm after our detailed review.
LeEco Le Max specifications:
• CPU: 2.0 GHz Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor
• RAM: 4 GB
• GPU: Adreno 430
• Operating System: EUI 5.0 based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
• Display: 6.33-inch 2K (2560 x 1440 pixels) LCD display
• Rear Camera: 21 MP auto-focus with Dual LED flash, Back-illuminated Sensor (BSI) and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)
• Front Camera: 4 MP
• Internal Storage: 64 GB
• Connectivity: 2G, 3G, 4G, GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, USB Type-C, Wi-Fi Direct, MHL 2.0, IR Blaster
• SIM: Dual 4G SIM (Micro + Nano)
• Other: Fingerprint Scanner, Le Hi-Fi Audio, Dolby DTS
• Battery: 3400 mAh Li-Poly non-removable battery
Verdict: At a price of Rs 32,999, LeEco Le Max smartphone is no doubt an excellent phone. It delivers very good overall performance. The mobile comes with sharp display, great camera, good built and decent battery backup.

Elephone P20 will kill Oneplus 3?

I have found the amazing news, elephone will release the other high-end smartphone in P series, it's Elephone P20, this is the first time i heard about this new smartphone. It's said Elephone P20 will be amazing to come with Helio P20 processor, RAM 6GB. Right now, RAM 6GB smartphones are very rare, so Elephone p20 will lead to the new times of RAM 6GB smartphone. I have nice idea to compare Elephone p20 with Onpelus 3, so which one will be powerful?

6GB of RAM, WOW..they are aiming big this time. It sounds awesome, I cant wait to see it.

Elephone rocks
This is cool

Looks nice, hope is cheap too.

very good phone

which is the better Soc overall ? p20 or x25? why?

Is that amount of RAM really necessary? How much of it will you actually use on your phone. Even with the 3GB or 4GB ones, I personally rarely see full usage even with so much customization and other apps installed. So now they've gravitated from "who has the largest screen size" to "who has the most ridiculous amount of RAM (what you will never fully utilize)"
Asides from my mini rant on RAM size, the phone itself looks decent and so do the other specs.
Another article from the OP's review just came out yesterday: http://www.igeekphone.com/elephone-p20-smartphone-will-feature-ram-6gb-no-bezel-usb-type-c/
This is their second bezel-less phone that they released, the first being the Elephone S3 (which I own). WARNING there is a flaw in the S3, which I am guessing will also show up on the P20, and that is..... the simcard tray only supports: Tray 1 (Micro SIM) & Tray 2 (MicroSD OR Nano Sim). The OR is the big problem in my opinion....why would they make it "dual sim" but have it crippled like that? Could they not have made contacts for the MicroSD coming from the top and contacts for the Nano Sim coming from the bottom, so that both could be utilized simultaneously? That just baffles me

Powered by F1.7 large aperture from Elephone P20
Basic parameters of P20 has been exposured by Elephone shortly before.
Not only huge 6GB RAM and huge CPU of Helio P20, which can attract user's attention,
but also for the F1.7 large aperture
So what is outstanding of F1.7 large aperture?
Some photos taken by camera of a brand smartphone which is also applied with F1.7 large aperture.
It's not hard to see that the BlurBitmapEffect of pictures shot with F1.7 aperture is quite obvious, and more lights are provided by the naked environment.

Elephone P20---6GB, super large RAM,forget about the frame backlag .
Elephone P20 is not only the first elephone that runs 6GB RAM, but also one of the not-so-many smart phones
powered by 6GB RAM available in the market.
Elephone 6GB RAM adopts the principle of dual channel memory,which makes a change on the normal single channel memory.
The larger RAM in a phone is ,the more smooth using experience.Namely is , users can get more faster sufing on the apps, can
watch 4k high definition videos more smoothly, no pressure at multi-windowns at all. Got nothing to worry aboutthe operation
smoothness.
CPU Clock Speed can be up to 1866 MHz,it improves the band width by 70%,while reduces the power consumption by 50% .
We also know before that Elephone P20 equips with Helio P20 chipset,runs at android 6.0 system,protected by full metal body with
a 5.5" FHD display screen. 12 MP rear camera with f 1.7 super large aperture

X25 is better... X model is the eXtreme version. P is the Power version, so, it's a less powerful chip using similar architecture, that, being less powerful, uses less energy and it's cheaper.
P10 was based on X10 and now P20 is based on X20. In the meantime, X25 got released and it is an improvement over X20.
Looking at the specs of X25 here:
Built at 16nm, CPU with [email protected] + [email protected] + [email protected] and GPU is Mali-T880 running at 850MHz
Specs of P20 here:
Built 16nm, CPU with 8xA53, up to 2.3GHz (4 will be slower, no indication how much). GPU is Mali-T880 at 900MHz

Le Max2 vs Competition

LeEco, the global Internet company that is disrupting the Indian smartphone market, launched its new line of smartphones – the Le 2 and Le Max2 a few months ago to an overwhelming response. More recently, the company announced a special offer for Diwali where its flagship, the Le Max2 is available at Rs. 17,999 on LeMall, Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal – no strings attached!

If you haven’t heard of LeEco’s great “value for money” superphones, let us show you how it compares to the latest flagships from well-known brands! We are pitting the Le Max2 against Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and HTC’s uniquely named 10.
PERFORMANCE
To start off, all three smartphones boast top-end specifications in almost every department – 4GB RAM, 32/64GB Internal Memory, at least a 3000 mAh Battery, support for the latest Wi-Fi standards and almost all network frequencies! So, all of them are snappy performers. The Galaxy S7 uses Samsung’s own Exynos line of processors and they are comparable to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processors on the HTC 10 and Le Max2. It’s a tie here because all three flagships run smoothly no matter what you throw at them.
DISPLAY
The Galaxy S7 has a vivid 5.1-inch SAMOLED display with Quad HD resolution that makes colors pop. The HTC 10 uses a 5.2-inch SLCD display with Quad HD resolution that is known for its true-to-life colors. The Le Max2 goes big with a 5.7-inch IPS display with Quad HD resolution! Place these smartphones next to each other and the difference is obvious! While the Galaxy S7 and HTC 10 have great displays, the Le Max2 is no slouch either, and it takes the prize in this category because “bigger is better” when it comes to displays!
DESIGN & BUILD
Samsung continues its metal and glass design with the Galaxy S7, rounding out a few edges and the phone feels like a premium fingerprint magnet. HTC goes with its now-famous all-metal build on the 10, adding a huge bevel on the edges that makes the phone stand out in a crowd. LeEco iterates on their successful full-metal design that is a head turner in Rose Gold because of its symmetry! Tie here.
CAMERA
In this department, while the Le Max2 has a higher Megapixel count, that’s not the end of the story. As serious photographers will tell you, Megapixels matter, but so do other things like Aperture and Processing. The Galaxy S7 and HTC 10 have lower resolution cameras with smaller Aperture that results in great low light photos. The Le Max2’s camera is not bad, it captures amazing photos in good lighting conditions. However, it is an average performer when it comes to low light photography. If LeEco goes with a better Aperture size in the future, we’ll be completely sold! The Galaxy S7 takes the edge here with a better aperture size and crispy processing.
BATTERY
All three phones come with non-removable batteries, though the Le Max2 fits in an an extra 100 mAh battery capacity that might help with those last-minute “my phone is dying” phone calls we all make.
SOUND
Both the Galaxy S7 and HTC 10 have the usual 3.5 mm analog audio port but LeEco is trying something new with its Continual Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) standard delivered through the USB Type-C port! Listening to music on the Le Max2 with the CDLA earphones showed us how much we missed out earlier. The same tracks sound richer, with perfect bass and treble. Forget all the hoopla about custom DACs on smartphones, if the industry follows this standard, we’ll not need to worry about audio quality at all – for the vast majority of us.
CONTENT
The future is here and content is king! This revolution in India was started by LeEco in February this year and we can already see major players scrambling to bundle some kind of content with their smartphones. Xiaomi gave away a few months of Hungama Music along with their smartphones, and now OnePlus gives users a 1-year subscription to Saavn Pro for all their music listening needs. The older players, Samsung and HTC haven’t bought into this model yet, so LeEco walks away with the honors in this section. The 1-year LeEco Membership that comes bundled with the Le Max2 offers 2000+ premium movies, 100+ Live TV channels, 3.5 Million songs and 5 TB cloud storage! This is a game changer for the smartphone industry in India.
PRICE
The Galaxy S7’s lowest variant costs Rs. 48,400 while the HTC 10 is unreasonably expensive at Rs. 52,990. The Le Max2 was favorably priced at Rs. 22,999 until last week and is now a steal at Rs. 17,999!
VERDICT
We hope this comparison shows you why we consider the Le Max2 a winner. It is in the same league as the flagships from Samsung and HTC while costing about a third of what you’d usually pay. While some users might be enamored by the ads about water resistance on the Galaxy S7, we don’t think an average buyer wants to pay 30,000 rupees for that feature.
The Le Max2 offers reasonable storage, good performance, great audio quality and, most importantly, the biggest catalog of content! There are so many ways that the LeEco Membership adds value to the end-user that it boggles the mind – you can’t consume all that content even if you try!
LeEco is redefining the phrase “value for money” because you’ll not have to worry about any additional costs when you want to listen to music, watch movies, catch the latest news from your favorite TV channel or even when you want to store your data in the cloud!

The making of UMi Plus E – the Pinnacle of Craftsmanship
The perfect harmony of skilled and careful handcraft together with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to bring you premium craftsmanship.
This video lets you see how the unibody casing of the new UMi Plus E Onyx Black is being created from a single piece of 6000 series of aerospace-level aluminum.
VIDEO:
Nowadays, a lot of companies promise premium build quality on their smartphones, but not everyone manages to match the expectations when their product is released.
UMi, on the other hand, has always been confident about the quality of its products. The company showed different times in the past how their products are manufactured, showing materials and productive processes used in order to achieve the ideal result.
The UMi Plus E, the latest flagship made by the chinese company, makes no exception. UMi released today a video where you can see the full working process which transforms a piece of metal into the finely crafted body of the Plus E, In this case the Onyx Black variant, showing how much work and care is put behind every single unit.
More than 125 complex processes to making one Onyx Black UMi Plus E
The process starts when choosing the best aluminium alloy 6000 series, which is finely assembled to give the best possible tolerance when facing bumps and falls without deforming. Then, the body faces some CNC polishing processes, to give the smoothest and refined feeling to the touch: sandblasting, Anodic Oxidation, manual sand papering. After putting the logo and writings with laser, openings are made and the frame is finely worked, then the coating is applied, to give the final appearance of the device.
It’s a very simplified description of what happens in these 125 processes, but it gives the idea of how much care and attention is needed when crafting every single unit of the UMi Plus E, it’s a process which relies constantly on the experience and the craftsmanship of the artisans involved, something which would be impossible to achieve if only machines were used in the process.
UMi Plus E is world’s first Helio P20-powered smartphone. The phone packs an impressive 6GB LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB of internal storage (expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card), a 5.5-inch fullHD (1920 x 1080) display made by Sharp, a 4,000mAh battery with PE+ Fast Charging support, a 13-megapixel PDAF Samsung snapper placed on the back of the UMi Plus E aerospace-class aluminum chase.
A fingerprint scanner (Touch ID 2.1) is also included, the device offers support for Cat. 6 4G LTE connectivity.

Looks like a great phone. A friend has the regular UMi Plus and it performs very well. The only issue with it is the GPS performance is very poor, it hops/stutters around a lot.
Does anyone know if the new chipset in the UMi Plus Extreme will address the GPS problem or is there an easy fix which can be applied to the UMi Plus Extreme? I'd like to purchase the UMi Plus Extreme but I need good GPS functionality as I rely on Google Navigation a lot whilst driving.

Not sure if 6GB of RAM will ever be utilized fully

THOUGHTS ::
First and foremost let me start off by saying the finish on the silver MIX is stunning, when I first removed it from the box I was taken back... the mirror finish isnt something you come across often and it looks great. I will admit it is a finger print magnet, gorgeous nether the less.. definitely worth the upkeep.
The MIX's price point is definitely targeting the low end market, I've found it being sold generally around the $200 USD mark. Which I think is definitely a fair asking price for the device you receive. Obviously purchasing a device in the low range market your not getting all the bell's and whistles and that's to be expected.. however the Doogee MIX brings alot to the table.
Obviously the design is heavily inspired by the Xiaomi MIX and that's a good thing because the Doogee MIX looks great! The bezel-less screen really give's the device a premium feel. I've had no issues with one hand operation and I think the device is appropriately proportioned.
Now let's move onto the software, the Doogee MIX is running FreeMe OS.. for the most part I've enjoyed this android flavour. The UI is not heavily modified its nice and simple, the default launcher supports themes, little to no bloatware, OTA software updater. Includes everything you could possible want or need out the box. However there are a few minor bugs, I have brought these up to Doogee so I am hoping they will be resolved in a future software patch.. overall it's been a very positive experience, the bugs include the following:
Battery usage disabled in settings.
Battery percentage doesn't change colour according to light / dark text.
Android system webview refuses to update in the playstore.
Few minor translation errors in the settings app.
I'm not the biggest fan of the camera app, I really would like to see the UI revamped.. switching modes is a little clunky. However the camera does take decent photo's, I must say. There is little to no video stabilisation so that could definitely be improved. Overall all for a budget phone, it's pretty good... here's what the camera app looks like:
You can find some images I captured with the MIX below, I think they came out pretty good.. I was impressed.
The dual cameras don't operate as you might think, the secondary camera is used only in "blur" mode.. which as the name suggests blurs out the surrounding background of the image to increase focus on the subject.. I really feel like this was a missed opportunity, I really wish they did something more with the dual cameras. The blur effect can easily be done with software, really doesn't need a second camera to do so.
Ah of coarse the fingerprint scanner, almost forgot to mention this.. the finger print scanner is positioned on the front of the device on the bottom bezel. It doubles as a home button when the device is unlocked. In terms of accuracy its pretty good ! I personally don't use fingerprint scanners, I find them annoying... however it worked good in my tests, very accurate.. could be a little faster tho in my opinion.
Being a developer I naturally immediately requested kernel sources, Unfortunately tho Doogee have yet provided them.. which is a real shame because I have a working TWRP recovery for the device already, however unfortunately touch is not enabled in recovery. The only way to fix this is with kernel sources.. for the time being I have been using a OTG cable with a mouse to navigate TWRP. I really hope to see kernel sources release in the near future.
Overall my experience with the MIX has been positive, it does have a few quirks I must admit.. but considering how cheap the phone is they are easily excused. Performance is pretty dam good, camera is definitely adequate for photos, FreeMe OS is a really clean android flavour. Obviously sacrifices are made when purchasing budget phones... is it fair to compare the Doogee MIX to phones that cost double it's price ? Absolutely not...
