In a recent leak, a new high-end smartphone by LeEco has been spotted on China’s telecom regulatory agency TENAA, and the certification has revealed a bunch of details about the smartphone.
LeEco seems set to soon launch a new high-end smartphone. Rumored as the LeEco Le X850, the smartphone has received a certification by Chinese telecommunication authority TENAA. The certification gives away a sneak peek into the handset’s specifications and features. With the Le X850, LeEco seems to be joining the growing trend of dual camera set up. According to the listing, the smartphone has two 13-megapixel cameras on the back along with a 16-megapixel front facing camera for selfies.
Spotted by PC Tablet, the listing reveals that LeEco‘s Le X850 is equipped with a 5.7-inch display with 2K resolution. It would measure 7.99mm in thickness and weigh about 185gm. The smartphone will be powered by Snapdragon 821 chipset clocked at 2.3GHz, and Adreno 530 GPU for graphics, along with 4GB of RAM. It will come with 64GB of onboard storage. The highlight of the smartphone is the dual camera. Of late several smartphone companies like Apple, LG, Xiaomi, and Huawei among others have launched phones with dual cameras. Right now, there’s no word on how the dual camera works.
Additionally, the leak also reveals that the Le X850 will be fueled by a 3,900mAh battery with fast charging technology. The smartphone is expected to come in two color variants – coffee grey and gold charm. Though the leak doesn’t mention it, the latest LeEco smartphone is likely to skip 3.5mm audio jack to make way for its propriety Type-C CDLA port, which we have seen on the recent Le 2 series of phones.
As far as its availability is concerned, LeEco hasn’t confirmed anything about making or even existence of any such phone. As per pricing, looking at the top-of-the-line specs, the Le X850 will presumable be priced on the higher side as well.
