At a media event in New Delhi, Chinese handset maker LeEco launched its latest phones in the Indian market. The vendor debuted the flagship Le Max 2, with the Le 2 aimed at the budget segment. The Le Max 2 will be available for an aggressive ₹22,999 for the model with 4GB of RAM and 32GB storage, with the variant offering 6GB of RAM and 64GB storage retailing for ₹29,999. The Le 2 is set to retail for ₹11,999 in the country. That's including a year's worth of LeEco's content services. The Le Max 2 will go on sale starting June 26.
Unveiled in China earlier this year, the phones have the distinction of being the first in the world to ditch the 3.5mm audio jack in favor of USB-C audio. The hardware on offer with the phones is intriguing to say the least, so here's a look at what's on offer with LeEco's latest.
