All for better audio and video experience -- LeEco Superphone 2 hands-on experience
All for better audio and video experience -- LeEco Superphone 2 hands-on experience

When it comes to LeEco, I often joke that every time President Jia says that the boundary can be broken, how many times can LeEco's boundary be broken? From a video website to a technology grocery store, LeEco not only extends to the mobile end, but also to the traditional industry. However, banter comes from banter. When you experience, you still need to rely on your strength. The strength of the LeTV Superphone 2 you experienced this time is still positive. However, I don't like the experience of being kidnapped. Although the built-in LeTV video experience is good, I prefer a more pure system experience. What will happen? Next, take your time.

1、 The hardware is hard enough

First, look at the packaging. The design of the Tiandi box shows the logo of LeEco on the front. It is simple and full, and looks very comfortable.

The design of the back continues to follow the style of the front, leaving behind the design parameters. The style of the whole package is simple and supreme. At the same time, the square pattern design adds a bit of exquisite texture.

Open the packaging box and you can see the gold Le 2 mobile phone. The color of Le 2 is somewhat bright, like rose gold, but the official color is "dopamine red", which looks very comfortable overall. The internal packaging continues to follow the outer style, where the surface film of the mobile phone has been removed.

All the components of the whole mobile phone, including the packaging box, Le 2, power adapter, Type-c charging data cable, Type-c to 3.5mm headphone conversion wiring, instructions, and pins, are mainly white, and the design style is highly sustainable.

First, look at the accessories, the power adapter. The output is 3.6V-8.0V-3.0A/12V-2.0A, which improves the output voltage and current to achieve fast charging. This improvement will bring 3000 mAh in 100 minutes.

Looking at the data cable, not only does the mobile phone interface use the Type-c interface that can be inserted freely in the front and back, but the USB connector can also be inserted freely in the front and back, that is, the Type-c+interface, and the two-way charging chip, which greatly improves the convenience of use. However, the problem that follows is that the docking chip in the USB interface is relatively thin, so it cannot be inserted hard when using it.

Le 2 adopts the new CDLA audio standard, which brings about a design change. It abandons the 3.5mm headphone jack and integrates the headphone jack into the charging interface. For ease of use, a Type-c to 3.5mm jack plug is included in the phone accessories.


After introducing the accessories, it's time to see the main character, Le 2 mobile phone, with a simple understanding of the configuration, a 5.5 inch FHD display, 3G RAM+32G ROM, MediaTek Helio X20 CPU, plus 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM to meet your needs, a 1600W+800W camera, whether he or she takes a self portrait, is very powerful, 3000mAh large capacity battery, these basic hardware provides hardware guarantee for a better experience.


Le 2 uses a 5.5 inch screen. The size of the phone is 151.1x74.2x7.5mm. Although it is 0.5mm thinner than Le 1, this size is still impressive in use. I prefer the size between 4-5 inches, which is also the size of my hand. Here, I want to talk about it in combination with my personal habits, for reference only.

The top of the front is followed by the battery indicator light, distance sensor, earpiece, and 800W front camera. First of all, the distance sensor hole here is designed to be larger on purpose, in order to form a symmetrical design with the camera. At the same time, the battery power indicator light is also hidden as a design, and the design symmetry of the top end remains good.

The bottom is also the unique three buttons of Android. Le 2 also continues the design of Le 1's hidden virtual touch button, which lights up during touch operation. This design makes the whole front look very simple, and the touch sensitivity is also very high during use.


The side view shows that the volume adjustment button and the standby button are designed on the same side, and the card slot is designed on the other side. What I want to say here is that I can't accept this design at first, especially the card slot is designed on the left side. When placing the card, the card slot almost bends.

On the top and side, there is only a small opening, which is the infrared transmitter channel. Starting from Le 1, LeTV super phones can realize remote control of smart home devices. This function continues in Le 2. As an important part of LeEco's mobile terminal, LeTV mobile phones can't be connected to other smart devices simply on the projection screen. If there are other smart devices in the home, If the LeEco mobile phone supports it, bind the connection and use the mobile phone to control the device. The experience is not too good.

The symmetrical design also continues to the bottom and side. The symmetrical speaker, coupled with the Type-C jack, has a highly unified overall design style. The entire Le 2 mobile phone continues the Le 1 series of screw free, frameless, metal integrated body and other styles. The exquisite design brings a better experience.

The whole Le 2 design is pursuing the beauty of symmetry, and there is no compromise on the back of the body, but the fingerprint recognition design is behind the back, which is relatively close to the camera. I always want to complain about this design, because users with long fingers can easily access the rear camera when they first use it. It is worth mentioning that Le 2 is the first mobile phone released by LeEco after the adoption of the new logo. From the appearance, we can see the delicacy of the new logo. Combined with the metal background, the simplicity of the logo is once again highlighted.

Mirror fingerprint recognition sounds very high-end, but I haven't experienced anything extraordinary in use. The design behind it is the most convenient way to use the index finger. The common index finger, combined with the humid and hot air in the south, has a low degree of dryness. In use, the fingerprint recognition error rate is high. It can be recognized successfully only after three to four adjustments.

Although the double C arc edge design brings good hand feeling, the detail processing is not very careful, the edges and corners processing is rough, and the transition trimming and polishing processing is also slightly sloppy. For the pursuit of ecological software, the design performance of the whole mobile phone is basically satisfactory.

Le 2, whose design performance is acceptable, how about its deep performance in hardware? The simple score test is over 9W, which is amazing. As a thousand yuan machine, we can't ask for more.

I complained about the black edge design. I thought that no mobile phone could surpass Huawei's black edge before. When I saw Le 2, I cried. I wanted to comfort myself. This is not true, but the fact is cruel. "Black, I really don't want you." I decided not to complain about the aunt belt designed in the future, but to complain about the black belt displayed on the screen. This is not Taekwondo. The black section on the side of the mobile phone screen only shows that the technical design is average

Although the black edge is very wide, the display effect of the in cell screen is very good. The high pass effect brings a better visual experience. With the 5.5 inch large screen, you can enjoy the visual feast on your phone.

2、 The software is not soft enough

The software is mainly a system. The Le 2 mobile phone system is based on the Android 6.0 in-depth customization EUI5.6. If I can accept the openness of the Android system, I can't really accept the design of EUI5.6, a built-in LeTV service.

The icon display on the main interface is not as highly unified as other UI. It basically keeps consistent with the Android native system. Perhaps the biggest difference is that the live menu is added to the dock bar at the bottom, and this function is not mobile. This is what I want to complain about. It has been pointed to live broadcast for a long time. Although LeEco said that what we sell is ecology, and hardware is just an add-on, But this kind of behavior is more annoying than other built-in software. I want to ask whether LeEco's mobile traffic is improved by this mistake?

The main world slides to the right to enter the LeEco video interface, telling me that these are the extension of ecology on the mobile end. This kind of kidnapping experience makes me want to say: if I am not a LeEco member, do I need not consider buying a LeEco mobile phone? It's not because I don't like LeTV video. At present, LeTV video is only the second tier of domestic video websites. This forced binding to mobile phones can only bring bad experience of the system. Why not learn from a fruit company and embed LeTV video software into the system video software. I have experienced a mobile phone, which is built with Tencent video, Although this does not directly lead to an increase in video traffic, at least we can show the attitude to buyers that we can not only do a good job in ecological software, but also do a good job in hardware that provides a better platform for software.

I can't stop complaining. What makes me uncomfortable about the EUI5.6 experience is that the pull-down menu has only one message notification. I just want to say, is it possible to stand shoulder to shoulder with a fruit? Where are those shortcut settings? Among the three buttons marked by Android, the left button can be used to find the background software management and make quick settings. Although this design keeps me complaining, it also has great advantages. I like to operate with my left hand. This design is too convenient. I don't need to pick up the phone with both hands and pull down the menu to carry out these quick designs. I can operate with one hand, but for those who are accustomed to operating with their right hands, just use both hands honestly.

There is also a favorite part in the design, which is the notification setting, which is my favorite. What is more advanced than IOS is that it supports the definition of important notifications, such as phone calls and text messages, which are commonly used functions received in the dock column. How to distinguish them from other message prompts? Mark them so that you can no longer miss important message prompts.

One of the software that plays the infrared function of mobile phones is the remote control. However, for most users at present, this function is somewhat lame, but in the long run, this function is very practical. A simple example is that if you go home or rest at home, you may lie on the sofa playing with your mobile phone and want to watch TV at this time, Are you going to get up and take the remote control or watch it with your mobile phone? The most likely is the latter. But after the mobile phone can control the TV, you don't have to get up to get the remote control, nor do you have to hold the mobile phone so small and tired to watch it. The mobile phone can be turned on by remote control. In addition, Le 2 not only supports LeEco's own equipment, but also supports other brands' equipment, so as to really decorate its own ecology.

When you experience Music 2, the biggest feeling is that you can see support for habitual operations everywhere, such as music, weather, and even small applications such as wallpaper. All you need is to log in to your LeEco account. Although it's troublesome, it's good to find what you want at the first time.

EUI5.6 has a built-in security steward, which is also the standard configuration of Android phone UI at present. It's a good experience. Although the one button operation is a bit silly, for such an open Android system, such operation brings not only the convenience of operation, but also a sense of shortcut in experience.

3、 Insufficient combination of hardware and software

The hardware is excellent enough and there are many software highlights, but how about the combination of software and hardware? The simplest one is fingerprint identification. The hardware of fingerprint identification is guaranteed, but the application of fingerprint encryption function to other software in mobile phones can be said to be zero. It can be said that fingerprint identification function is only limited to unlocking, not to mention payment applications, which should have existed for a long time.

The quick charge control improves the output of the power adapter, but only a simple one. Look at my test during charging. At this time, the battery power of the mobile phone is 76%, and the output of the power adapter is 9.17V-1.95A. What is the concept? It is said that this output can only be achieved in the first 20% charging stage of the magic machine that charges for five minutes and talks for two hours, The VOOC flash charge is a phased control output, which is well controlled, while Le 2 is relatively rough, and the output of the whole process is kept at a high power. It is conceivable that the mobile phone will generate heat when charging. Although the output will be limited when it is close to full charge, it is somewhat unsafe to maintain such a high voltage and high current charge in the middle stage. One more thing: the charging power of Le 2 between the first 0-20%/30% can reach 24W, that is, 12V-2A input. It is normal for the mobile phone to heat up.

Although I want to complain about EUI, I like LeTV's live sports broadcast, especially football. I like Zhan Jun's commentary. I also like watching Guangzhou Evergrande, and the recent America's Cup. LeTV's live broadcast also has broadcast. There are many live broadcast resources. In combination with the 5.5 inch large screen of the mobile phone, I lie in bed and walk on the way to work, so that the game can not be interrupted, This is why I complain about so much about LeEco. I still visit LeEco's video websites every day. Neither iQIYI nor Youku are so diligent.

After talking about the video, we will talk about the CDLA standard that has been promoted to the sky. What the hell is this? CDLA is only a transmission standard. Although audio transmission plays an important role in audio experience, the quality of audio source is not guaranteed and transmission cannot solve everything. CDLA is to realize the digital and lossless transmission of audio signals. If you want to experience high-quality music, you should also have high-quality music sources and high-quality receiver devices earphones. Now all music software has lossless audio files. The built-in music software of Le 2 mobile phone can also be downloaded to high-quality audio, and it is not difficult for headphones. With the Type-C to 3.5mm interface converter, high-quality music can also be heard. In the experience, music is played with three distinct bands. Even ordinary earphones can achieve good sound quality. When I use ordinary mobile phones to experience earphones, I can enjoy the pleasure of good sound quality. However, the Type-c interface has not been popularized for the time being. If you want to play music, you must always carry a adapter cable, which is somewhat inconvenient.

The last thing I care about is taking photos. The 1600+800 hardware configuration is enough, but what about the experience of taking photos? To sum up, it's OK in the daytime, but it's good at night. The camera software settings are not suitable. The basic settings are at the top, but why does HDR filter basically meet the needs in the following different modes? The camera software is generally sloppy, but I don't like this design, so I have to complain.

First, look at the performance at macro. Aperture 2, shutter 1/200s, and sensitivity 200. The effect is good, the details are outstanding, the background is not blurred, and the performance of macro photography is satisfactory. Note: this is the dusk stage, the light is poor, and the performance is still satisfactory.


Automatic white balance, aperture 2, shutter 1/200s, sensitivity 400, outdoor shooting sample contrast, the former is normal mode, the latter is HDR sample, the HDR sample restoration scene is excellent, the photography ability under normal mode is poor, and the photography details are not well handled.

HDR proof sheet appreciation, aperture 2, shutter 1/30s, sensitivity 1600, at dusk, the perspective detail performance is very good, which is also the advantage of 1600W pixels plus large aperture.

The shutter speed of night scene shooting is less selected. Automatic, 1/4s, 1/2s. Let's see the performance. The sequence is HDR, night scene automatic (1/5s), night scene 1/4s, night scene 1/2s. It can be seen that even in the future, the HDR prototype has excellent ability to restore scenes. The overall effect is not very satisfactory under the night scene mode.

Night shooting, HDR mode, you can see the picture effect is very satisfactory. The camera hardware is guaranteed, but the details of the photos taken are not enough. This cannot be said to be a hardware problem. It seems that the software needs further optimization.

Simple shooting.

4、 Like and clap bricks

Experience now, a lot of complaints have ignored one foundation, that is, the price of Le 2 is 1099 yuan. It can be said that the 1000 yuan machine has such excellent performance, we can't say more, but since it has made this mobile phone, it must have certain advantages and highlights. For the current performance, Le 2 has perfectly completed the task given by 1099 yuan, excellent hardware foundation, In addition to the extension of ecological software and the exclusive initiative of CDLA transmission standard, the overall basic performance is excellent. Le 2 can really experience audio-visual feast on the mobile end.

However, I have never liked to "kidnap" users with ecology. If EUI continues its current performance, my personal view is that it is not conducive to the development of LeEco mobile phones. After all, mobile phone sales are not only for LeEco members. Built in LeEco videos will only slow down the flow of mobile phones and occupy the memory of mobile phones. In addition, the performance of the camera needs to be improved. Whether there should be more fingerprint recognition applications? I don't know what the future performance will be like. At least for the moment, these are all targets of criticism.
