LeEco recently revealed that it would launch phones in the U.S and the States side version of their phone could be powered be a 14nm chipset!
Rumours started yesterday when images of a LeEco phone were posted online showing a A72 powered 2.5Ghz chipset with 14nm architecture. This new build should mean a more powerful yet more efficient chipset than we have seen in previous LeEco devices.
The brand behind the processor isn’t Qualcomm though (as we might have expected to see from an international phone) but rather Taiwan based semi conductor maker Mediatek. The CPU is clearly branded as a Helio model but it’s unsure which 10 core Helio chip it might be.
Gizchina News of the week
Other images of the phone reveal a full metal body, rear fingerprint scanner and dual camera design along with dual LED flash. The new camera set up on the phone is believed to have up to 4 x optical zoom using internal mirrors and lenses which move to enable the feature.
LeEco are also likely to launch there new phone in India and also in China. No word on if the brand plans to officially release the phone in the rest of the world at this time.
They will sell only Qualcomm 650/652/820/821 powered handsets in the USA. It’s necessary to support the various US LTE bands
The good news could be a phone supporting Google services and store, out of the box. And none of the Lemall/Lesports stuff (unusable bloat outside China)
In China they might use the new Mediatek X27 , slated between the X25 and X30. X30 not ready yet and will be a 2017 affair.
All current Mediatek chips support all US LTE networks.
“And none of the Lemall/Lesports stuff (unusable bloat outside China)”
Not for long. From what i see, they are starting their streaming service in USA. Actually they have to. Because if they sell the phones at cost price, they gotta have the money back somehow. I think the Leeco FB page released a photo related to competing with Netflix.
Well that streaming (lepass) didn’t turn out a huge success (shut down already)
The helio x25 runs at 2.5ghz: since the clock is the only thing that differentiate it from x20, if the chip could have run at an higher clock there’s no reason for mediatek to cup it at a lower clock, even if it’s just 0.1ghz of difference. Also, there is no chip from mediatek actually using 14nm architecture, and the chip rumored to run at 2.6ghz (helio x27) should be based on 20nm. Moreover, what’s the point of having 2 a53 cluster running at the same speed?! I’m not even sure a72 cores could run higher than 2.5ghz!
And, finally, qualcomm has a full coverage of us bands, don’t think mediatek does.
Tl;dr:
BS photoshopped thing for too many reasons.
Also, probably the dual camera phone will be le max 3, not a us version of le 3 pro
Aaahh, this beautiful black bezel…:)
A mediatek official has already come out and said that cpu-z has gotten the information wrong and it’s 20nm and not 14! How is this still news as the chip in question doesn’t even exist.
Exactly it has been known for awhile that is it the X20/X25.

Hopefully they won’t release unsold pink phones
I am looking forward to their launch, I love the Honor 8 but I am looking for another phone.
yesterday I was going to write you to ask you about the Honor.
I’m going to buy a new phone soon, I’m sick of this RN3, I never liked it and it’s getting worse and worse.
Right now I’m debating between the OP3 and Axon 7, I’m guessing you’re not completely satisfied with the honor?
I’m waiting to see what LeEcho will release here in the US, hopefully nothing pinkish.
I love the Honor I am looking for a new work/school phone though. I use two separate phones and I use them both on a daily basis. I am also currently deciding between the OP3 and Axon 7. But I wanna see what exactly LeEcco launches, if the Le Max 2 is priced like the leaks suggest ($289) I will be very interested in that.
Even pink?
No they will have to launch it in at least silver or normal gold for me to consider it.
Pro 3 for $399 with $100 rebate on the flash sale of 11/2.
They probably have a very small batch going for that price. I applied for the rebate but I doubt I’ll be able to get the phone for $299.
