Today, LeEco has announced new phones that will battle with other flagship handsets in 2016. All three smartphones come with large displays, high-end hardware and one of the biggest surprise, which was rumoured, is the lack of 3.5mm audio jack that is replaced by USB Type-C port.

The Le Max 2 has a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and much faster, Snapdragon 820 SoC with 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM, depending on model.

The Le 2 has a 16 MP, while the Le Max 2 and Le 2 Pro pack a 21 MP rear camera. The rest of the specs are the same among all three phones, including new Continual Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) audio standard, an 8 MP front camera and a fingerprint scanner on the back.

As for pricing, the LeEco Le 2 is priced at 1,099 Yuan ($170), Le 2 Pro is 1,399 Yuan ($220) for the Helio X20 version, 1,499 Yuan ($230) for the Helio X25 version, and the Le Max 2 is 2,099 Yuan ($320) for the 4 GB RAM/32 GB storage variant, 2,299 Yuan ($350) for the 4 GB RAM/64 GB storage variant and 2,499 Yuan ($390) for the 6 GB RAM/64 GB storage variant.
