Despite the fact that Chinese company LeEco has a relatively short history, it has released several interesting smartphones. Of course, smartphones cannot be called bestsellers, but they have attractive features, that will help company to succeed in smartphone market.

It seems that soon we will see new smartphone LeEco Le Max Pro, about which a lot of things already known. And while everyone is waiting for the first smartphone with Snapdragon 820, LeEco is preparing another surprise – first smartphone with processor Helio X20. This smartphone will be available in late February.

End of February promises to be hot. Vivo and Xiaomi are preparing to present their smartphones. It became known today about the upcoming smartphone LeEco Le 2. It should be noted, despite the powerful specifications, smartphone is not a flagship, but new generation of mid-range class.

Renders LeEco Le 2

Today appeared the first renders LeEco Le 2, which demonstrate an elegant design with rounded corners. These images look more fantastic. It can be seen that device will get a very slim and stylish metal body. Chinese smartphone will have 2.5D curved-glass, while frames on the sides of display are missing. If leaks are correct, LeEco Le 2 will get 5.5-inch screen, fingerprint reader on the back side, iris scanner, a capacious battery, dual LED flash and 10-core Helio X20.

Main feature LeEco Le 2

It is likely that LeEco Le 2 will be the first smartphone with flagship processor from MediaTek on board. According to the results of benchmarks new chip should make high competition, and show who the real leader in the market is. However, let’s not hurry up with conclusions, because we do not know the final details of both processor Helio X20 and the new smartphone LeEco Le 2. Do not forget that Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 have very high level of performance, and Chinese processor will be difficult to beat them. Recall, Helio X20 is the world’s first 10-core processor.

The war for ever more powerful hardware will never end so soon in the mobile devices segment. Samsung has been investing in its Exynos 7420, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 for 2016 and Apple with its powerful dual-core chipset Apple A9. However, when it comes to raw power, at least on paper, we cannot forget the promising Helio X20 – which is the first deca-core chipset market with its ten cores.

 Helio X20 consists of a cluster with two cores Cortex-A72 working at full speed of 2.5GHz, ensuring a great performance for the smartphone or tablet. To balance the scales performance / consumption, we have a second processor numbering four cores Cortex-A53 running at 2GHz. They should be responsible for most of the requests sent to the CPU. Finally, to perform basic tasks, we have a third section with four cores Cortex-A53, this time working at 1.4GHz, with a great reduction in consumption.

 Unfortunately, the solution MediaTek also has LPDDR3 RAM, slower solution than LPDDR4 used by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and the Samsung in Exynos 7420. However, with 933MHz speed, the memory of Helio X20 will be able to support the amount of information to be sent to a DHF or even QHD screen. To complement this set, we have the GPU Mali-T880 with four released cores, the most powerful graphics solution from ARM now. Finally, we have the Cortex-M4 coprocessor to process audio and text without awakening the main CPU, helping the 10 cores to stay in standby longer.

 Recently, we saw a rumor that Meizu is with great plans to bring a new flagship this year with Helio X20. It is also believed that this could only happen with the arrival of MX6 in 2016, as the Meizu MX5 was launched in July with the chipset MediaTek Helio X10. Anyway, is expected to bring the same specifications very similar to what we find with Pro 5, the latest flagship of the company with powerful chipset Exynos 7420. The Chinese manufacturer has made it clear that you want to bet on all powerful market solutions, not getting attached to that Qualcomm have to offer.

Dual-screen smartphones are increasing. The YotaPhone notably inspired Oukitel for U6 which he is preparing to launch. It is for the time proposed for pre-order in an import store. The Helio X20 announced the first rumors is however not present. Pity.

 Oukitel certainly not the most famous Chinese manufacturers but quite regularly manages to attract our attention through a catalog for less varied. The last time was in July with the U6. It was a question of rumors, but rumors promising. The most notable detail was the presence of an electronic ink screen on the back, as on the YotaPhone, but it was not alone. The smartphone should also be among the first to integrate Helio X20. Finally, it will not.

 The Oukitel U6 is now pre-order at GearBest and this is not the first deca-core MediaTek chipset found in the datasheet. No. We are very far since it is the MT6735 which is listed in the CPU box is the entry level with LTE modem worldwide refiner. The Helio X20 however was not completely abandoned since GSMArena reports that could be integrated with a declination Pro thereafter, without elaborating.

 On the side of the normal model, we find, in addition to e-INK screen at the back and the MT6735, a 5-inch HD screen in front, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory as well as cameras 13 and 5 megapixels. The set is powered by a battery of 2000 mAh and animated by Android 5.1. The price is set at around € 220, well below that of YotaPhone, and the first orders will leave after 15 October.
