Design and Display

Question: How is the LeEco Le 2 design?

Answer: The Le 2 has few incremental changes in its design when compared to Le 1s. It still flaunts a metal clad design with no visible changes on the front. However, if you look closely you will find the edges have become more pronounced (a bit thicker and shinier).

At the back, there are two slim antenna bands – one at the top and another one at the bottom. It also features a slightly protruded camera module with dual-tone flash sitting on its left. The case that comes bundled in the box evens this out. Just under the camera there is a rounded-square shaped mirror-like fingerprint sensor. Just like its predecessor, Le 2 also features stereo loudspeaker at the bottom. Oh, and yes, there is no 3.5 mm audio jack on the new Le phones, but a USB Type C to 3.5 mm audio jack connector comes bundled in the box, so you can still use your old headphones.

How is the build quality of this phone? I generally don’t like to change my phone frequently, may be once in two – three years and that too only if required. Can this phone survive that usage? Also any info on the software updates?

Build quality won’t be an issue for long-term usage. It’s really hard to predict outcome over 2 or more years, but I know people who have been using it for 7 to 8 months without any complaints. Software is timely updated, but Android version updates are unlikely.
