At the beginning of the year, Le2 and LeMax2 were released by LeTV. They mainly focus on RMB 1000 and RMB 2000, both of which are cost-effective machines. This time, the screen size of Le Max2 has returned to a more "conventional" 5.7 inch, with a wider audience than the previous generation, and it is also the first 2000 yuan Snapdragon 820 device. Before the evaluation, let's compare its appearance with that of Le 2 and Le Max.
The package of Le Max2 has a skin like coating, which feels good. The accessories are installed in the flip side compartment.
Accessories include instruction manual, card taking pin, charger, double head Type-C cable, Type-C to headphone interface.
The most special point of Le Max series packaging is that they are all packaged together with protective sleeves. The previous generation of Le Max used a hard shell, while the Le Max2 was replaced by a silicone cover.
There are several small regrets in the package of Le Max. The first regret is that the silicone sleeve does not wrap the camera. After it is put on, the camera will still directly rub the desktop
The charger adopts USB-PD standard and supports 5V 3A or 9V 2.7A output specifications. The charging head uses a dual USB Type-C cable. The last machine that encountered such a charging head was the Nexus 5X and 6P.
The second regret is that the Le Max2 is not equipped with a common USB to Type-C data cable. If you want to connect the computer, you have to purchase an additional common Type-C cable
The third regret is that both Le Max2 and Le 2 have canceled the 3.5mm headphone interface, and the earphone has to be equipped with an additional adapter. This is not a convenient setting for audio enthusiasts or not.
The front is the iconic ID without a border, and the focus of the design is clearly the simplicity and integrity of the screen. On the top is the earpiece, as well as the symmetrically designed light/distance sensor and front camera, and on the bottom are the three hidden Android diamond keys.
The back design of LeEco is also very recognizable. The Le Max2's camera is prominent and exaggerated. On the right side of the camera is a dual color temperature flash lamp, and on the bottom is a new logo with hot silver.
The antenna partition strip crosses the body up and down, but it is not a common injection molding process. The fingers can clearly feel its existence. In addition, the upper and lower parts of the fuselage are plastic patches with slight color difference with the fuselage metal, but the height difference is well controlled.
On the left side of the fuselage is the SIM card slot. The machine supports dual nano SIM cards, but does not support TF card expansion.
On the right are the common volume and power buttons.
The screen sizes of Le Max, Le Max2 and Le 2 are 6.33, 5.7 and 5.5 inches respectively.
On the right side of the previous generation are wireless module slot, sim card slot and power key, while this generation has changed to volume and power key. Strangely, the lower priced Le 2 has a polishing groove at the power key.
The left side of Le Max has mute and volume keys, while this generation has only sim card slot.
The top of Le Max2 and Le 2 are infrared emitters, and both sides of the frame are chamfered and polished. The previous generation also had a headphone connector on the top.
The biggest slot on the appearance of Le Max2 must be this "towering" camera. Its height can even put down a whole volume button, and its area is huge.
The bottom layout is all speakers, Type-C connectors and microphones, but this generation has two more antenna separation strips.
The Le Max2 screen size is 5.7 inches. The pressure of a single hand grip is not very great for men, but it must be more supportive for women. In addition, in the interface with more white color, the effect of ID without border is a bit inconsistent, but compared with the border on both sides, the top and bottom borders are more annoying.
In terms of actual border width, Le Max in the lower left corner is almost the same as Le 2 in the upper right corner. Their actual width is close to that of Huawei P9, but the latter is half of the side arc and half of the black edge, so the visual effect is much better.
Compared with narrow frame models such as Xiaomi 5, the black edge width of LeEco family is more impressive.
