I'm a simple man. I see a review of a phone without a headphone jack, I close the video.

[yeetiesandwheaties]

Is that another omitted IR blaster? Yes. Yes, it is. Why do you guys ignore mentioning when a phone has an IR blaster? If for no other reason, mention it to at least be technically comprehensive and complete. Leaving out features doesn't seem appropriate on a phone review.

OnePlus 3 owner here, but to be fair, le eco had the "OnePlus 3" design before the OnePlus had it. Look up the Le Eco Le Max 2.

I bought this phone on launch day and I have been really happy with it. It has been a great performer and I haven't run into to any of the issues you talked about in this review.

Why do critics judge way more harsh than the common person. For 200 bucks, I don't see data reason paying 800-1000 for a high end phone

[SagarSureliya]

So, basically Leeco looks like its previous smartphones by whom Oneplus was inspired!

Been using this phone for over 2 years 7+ hours a day everyday, often heavy gaming if you have questions ask :D

Just to take a note. Whatever method you changed in editing, there was some sound layer overlapping in the video. On the other hand a usual high quality review. Nice work!

I returned my Pro3. For $299, I was satisfied with the build and performance, (software - not to my liking) but found that apps loaded during setup did not appear as installed in the Play Store app. Previously purchased apps showed as not having been purchased when I was installing from the PS. The clincher was a notice from Google when I uninstalled an app that the app had not been installed from the PS did I want to continue. I don't know if the apps were loaded from a Chinese mirror, but I was not comfortable with the situation.

On the positive side, LeEco handled the return process exceptionally well - had my refund credited eight days after deciding to return the phone.

As a follow up, LeEco chat representative said that the company would address the issue in a future update.

I bought an Axon 7: I have a thing for dual, front facing speakers. (Tough choice between it and the 3T.)

Hahaha. I love how negative you always are when you review devices. It's sad that if the phone company doesn't pay you, all you do is talk shit about their products.

[ruimedina]

The audio editing on this video is pretty sloppy. Please pay more attention next time.

[GainingDespair]

Picked it up new shipped directly from Amazon on sale for $178

[LeandroFTW]

The only thing I like about this phone is it has my initials on it

[dandylla]

I have an le s3 and its absolutely amazing. the black bars aren't the best, but honestly I kind of like them. I bought it for $149 and would highly recommend it.

I don’t know why people are always talking about the phone having no headphone jack, for less than 200dollars you can get a beast processor, good looking phone, nice battery for just a low price, if you compare this to a much more pricy phone like the s8 or oneplus 3 this is much more better among them. So don’t even wonder why it doesn’t have a headphone jack lol, and there’s and adapter for it or you can buy bluetooth earphones. Idk why you guys give too much problem on the jack for 200dollars this phone is sick

[Ezio]

Using this phone right now I gave up a Samsung galaxy s7 for this and honestly I am loving this phone I really am starting to hate all the common flagships now because of phones like this and the one plus and honor.

[MrWhis-fehs]

I had this phone for 4 months it's a great phone really for 200 you really can't get a better deal

[EMoore]

I bought their 4k TV and it's awesome... weird there are no reviews anywhere.

[asb]

With all it's flaws, this is a great phone for myself. I can report the same issue with the finger print scanner, but usually works 2nd or 3rd attempt. Happy to say no issues with it crashing or rebooting.

For 299 during their flash sell, I'm very happy with it. IR blaster is a welcomed feature.

[Gollywog]

I've been wanting to get this phone for a month now. Thanks for the review!
