Both data and voice are working on letv 1s. You need to install the jio join app only. Confirmed I am using it.
Is there any up graduation software available for upgraded my letv 1s LTE mobile to support with jio 4g sim for voice calling.
Ya u can install jio join app and do it
hi john.
if we installed jio join app then it will be supports for both Data and Voice calling….
Hi le 1s supports Jio 4g actually my mobile getting jio 4g signal but the data as well as calls not working so please help me for this…
Thanks
Prasad
is there any software to access Reliance JIO voice in Le1s.
pls let me know
Had made payments through Axisbank Debit Card through Flipkart website but just now on calling flipkart customer care executive i was being said that cashback is instant and valid only if payments are done through flipkart app…totally confused as now no where mentioned that cashback for le1s will be valid only if payments are done through APP….anyone kindly confirm
Yes Hemal, cashback is valid only on payment done through flipkart app.
Gogi bro pls come up with a review of Le 1s before the sale date, almost every other Indian channel has covered up with there reviews, only you are left out. Plz do it asap for your fans.
I am not in touch with LeECO, will try buying the handset from first sale. I have sent a message to LeECO twitter, let me see what they say.
Thanks for your reply bro, seems a bit impossible for you to do review before sale date. Try getting it from your tech circle if possible as this device has generated a lot of interest. Thanks
I got a reply from LeEco they do not have any review unit at the moment. Anyway will try buying from the sale.
Gogi ji please suggest about le 1s camera and about 3 GB ram.
Does letv 1s having hybrid slot, pls confirm.
No.. its just dual sim (1 micro and 1 nano). No option for SD card.
Rana Ji..please confirm whether Le 1s support VoLTE? I’m not able to ascertain this information from given specs . Kindly help as the upcoming Xiaomi Note 3 Pro has confirmed that it support VoLTE.
Mediatech will not support VolLTE an hence reliance JIO 4g voice call will not be supported by Le 1s
Guys, is there any way to remove these black borders by downloading any launchers, black borders really distracting and ruining the phones look.
what about FM and OTG?
Service center of LeEco http://j.mp/LeEcoIndia-ASC
Hi I am interested in buying letv 1s but my only reservation is that whether this phone support regional language like punjabi etc.. Any one can clarify??
root your phone then install droidsanfallback file nd its support all religious language
Then it will void warranty of manufacturers.
No doubt for Le1s .. great device in low budget.. Gogi sir did u get review unit or planning to buy it frm Flipkart?
Very nice and balanced specs power pack phone. Only concern is 3000mAh battery which will not enough for full HD phone but again it comes with quick charging features so that will cover it. Gogi ji, Asus is working on Zenfone Z1 Titan phone which has the following interesting specs:
5.5 Inch Super AMOLED display with 1440x2560p resolution (534PPI)
Dual Nano SIM with 4G support
NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-c
6 GB RAM, 256 Internal, SD card Slot upto 128 gb
2.3 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 830, Adreno 530 GPU
16 MP rear with dual LED & 5 MP Selfie cam with flash
Android 7.0 N OS
3500 mAh Battery
Metal Body with Carbon fiber back cover
4 Front facing speakers…
Price will be 45000 only
And I thought m in 2016 :p
Le 1s has no Gg3 its simple glass …and if u press finger on glass its distort colours ( like led press in laptop distorted colour)…very baad thing …I seen on YouTube review ..beware …I was earlier fan of le1s ..but now changing my mind. Staying on my coolpad note 3.
Waiting for more new launch as k4 note is also not up to mark as killer note.
LE 1S has CG3 (confirmed by LEECO on FB)
Are you sure.. because its nowhere mentioned this in specifications..
yes they confirmed it on FB. it has CG3 protection.
Yes. Also mentioned on flipkart specs…
It has CGG3…
https://docs.google.com/a/acclimited.com/spreadsheets/d/10wUnoppjG-INvsvUdIjN5JPNzzwaW6X8l4pOur2Zcwc/htmlview
absolutely correct Sanju
really!!!? bro show us the proof, kindly share the video link with us.
Le 1s have special icon where normal android phones have app drawer icon and it takes you to letv streaming service. Instead So it needs caution!!! App drawer not present.
Gogi ji, plz tell us ……
1. if it has gorilla glass or any other protection?
2. double tap to wake feature is there or not.
3. ear pieces are provided or not?
4. quality of display glass and its durability
Gogi sir ….
LeEco India website or service centre list in india plz find….
Service centre
here we go http://j.mp/LeEcoIndia-ASC
can le 1s play 4k videos…plz reply
Yes, The hardware can play 4k videos with ease but you can’t see any major difference in 5.5 1080p display. Same as 1080p
hii gogi
which one is good letv 1s or lenovo vibe p1 (r.s 15999) . please inform me as soon as possible .
Le 1s …except battery life
Of course Letv Le1s but the camera is not that great on both devices.
Many user using mtk helio x10 reported that they face WiFi problem. It seem as its chipset issue as meizu m5,redmi note 3 also facing same issue.
[Helio X10 MT6795 Powered Smartphones Experiencing Wi-Fi Problems? – Gizmochina] is good,have a look at it! http://www.gizmochina.com/2016/01/21/helio-x10-powered-phones-experiencing-wi-fi-problems/
Thats another concern expect the rest two of not having gorilla glass and only 3000 mAh battery
LE 1S has no wifi problem (confirmed by LEECO on FB) on my query’s reply.
Comparison of Lenovo Vibe K4 with Le 1s
While both phones have many similar features there are some differences as given below
1. Build quality : Le1s seems better with full metal body with aircraft grade aluminium while K4 is not full metal.
2. Screen display : Size is same 5.5 and both are Full HD. Le1s claims to have thinner bezels. However K4 has Gorilla glass, but Le1s does not seem to have this.
3. Processor : Both mediatek Octa Core, but K4 has MT6753 and Le1s has the superior Helios X10.
4. Storage : K4 has only 16 GB inbuilt while Le1s has 32. But K4 allows SD card upto 128 GB, while Le1s does not have expandable storage.
5. Battery : K4 note has 3300 while Le1s has 3000. But Le1s has fast charging which K4 does not have.
6. Sound: Both claim Dolby sound, but K4 has dual firing front speakers
7. Virtual Reality: Here K4 is optimised for VR and also has bundle offer for VR headset. Unfortunately , Le1s will not support any VIrtual reality because it does not have gyroscope.
8. Infrared: Le1s has infrared but K4 does not.
9. Price : K4 = 12000 Le1s = 11000. (But in bundle offer for K4 you get a VR headset if you pay 500 more)
So depending on preference you can choose as per these features on paper. or wait for expert reviews by Gogi and others before making a choice.
No need to write this much of paras….
K4 has worst Octacore processor of MTK, Le 1s has the Best of MTK Octacore processors…. Enough….
Nailed it!!!
Right bro.. le1s is superfone.. .Lenovo doesn’t any match to it… but wait for gogi’s review..
Great job of comparison, however some points you missed out Bro…!! Here are they…
1. Lenovo vibe K4 Note has FM Radio while LeEco 1S don’t have.
2. Lenovo vibe K4 Note has curve background like Moto / Asus where as LeEco 1S has premium Look identical to iPhone 6S.
3. In weight section the LeEco 1S won over Lenovo vibe K4 Note.
4. Lenovo vibe K4 Note has accelerometer sensor while LeEco 1S don’t have.
5. Lenovo vibe K4 Note comes with bundle only for some flash sale with price of 12499/- where as for LeEco 1S there will be 10% cash back offer on purchase of Axis Debit/Credit cards to eventually it cost around Rs. 9900 /-
6. Lenovo vibe K4 Note has OTG support while LeEco 1S don’t have.
But the conclusive statement is that after comparing all feature and pros&cons LeEco 1S look far promising than Lenovo vibe K4 Note. so full marks to LeEco 1S. KUDOS.
Letv 1s also supports otg.. But u need to hv usb type c otg cable.
Yes. one more point is K4 has NFC which Le1S does not have.
I think it is better to wait for sometime to see other phones which might launch in this price range and also for some full reviews before making a decision
Also provide a comparison with le 1s with coolpad note 3
Any chance that coolpad and leeco will launch darker version of their latest phones? I mean black or gray color coolpad note 3 and le 1s.
Dont you know buddy? Coolpad Note 3 is avaliable in black variant as well.
Nailed it.
Le 1s does not have gyroscope. Will this impact game performance ?
Have you received review unit?
No one from LeEco is in touch with me as of now.
someone plz plz plz confirm if LETV 1S has gorilla glass or not?
Same here gogi Ji. Please confirm 🙂
Letv Le1s has no glass.
Flipkart confirms it has CGG3. No need to worry ab8 it.
I have just been waiting and waiting for the le max and now to come to know that the phone will be up on flIpkart on the 16th of feb 🙁 waits just not getting ova..
Letv max has IR blaster & hd wifi support gogi
Sir does Letv Le Max hv option to lock applications with fingerprint?
Is there any type of screen protection on le 1s?
Yes, Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
everybody just wait for Xiaomi redmi note 3. It will blast away d competition with its 4000 mah battery, superb benchmarking scores, 16 mp camera and overall excellent performing smartphone.
U also should wait in service centre for months if handset have any issues… Haaaaa
Hahaha nailed it!
No problems here since there are no service centres at all.
My circle have more than dozen Mi phone. Non of them have hard prob till now, exepect some software issue which I can taken care of by rooting change to custom ROMs. In my point of view xiaomi have best hardware at possible price, way ahead in camera quality than it competitor’s . but I won’t recommend any more because of silly bootloader lock policy of xiaomi.
wait wait and wait it will launch in march if stocks are not sold out in china then it will be dumped in India.
People who want pure dual sim wont buy Redmi Note 3 because it has hybrid sim.
Would they rather buy the Le 1s with Dual sim and non expandable storage? It’s the same as Redmi Note 3 with 32 GB and but the Note 3 is better for having an option of expanding.
Build quality of xiaomi smartphones are excellent as sony and samsung brands.
The black big border around the screen is a very big disapointment..bt will definetly perish in future handsets..mi note 3 pro isnt having such issue i guess…
A total flop! I don’t know why everyone was boasting about LeTv.
How? Please read reviews available on the internet and also comparison with Xiaomi redmi note 3. At the price it is certainly not a flop.
True, but didn’t u noticed the black borders, its a real flop show for me..have a closer look on youtube.
We dont care.
Xiaomi redmi 3 do have black borders in screen please check the image
Black Borders isn’t a big issue.
In first parah you are saying that Le 1s is using mtk mt6795 .. but below the pic (in the 4th parah) you are saying that it is using helio x10.
Mt6795 is the model number for helio x10
Synonym of chipset name….. 🙂
Whether it support OTG? whether it has FM player?
yes OTG is supported but buddy it should be of TYPE C
FM chip is missing in Letv le1s.
Interestingly 1s can record 4k videos at 30fps…
Which is better in gaming
K3 note or le 1s
Ofcourse its the le1s man… See the processor and gpu
k3 note is very bad at gaming bro i gifted it to my dad but we are disappointed with gaming performance it heats up very fast and there are frame drops too in real racing
Two thing wanna say ..
1.U r not going to impress with its camera performance.. It is not improved even after software update..Average Camera.
2.Dont think that u’ll use a sim card & micro sd ..Forgot Micro SD. Because it is not a hybrid slot just dual sim slot
I know still it is a great buy..
U own the phone or the camera statement is just from the reviews bro?
View from Reviews & sample pics
Biased reviews everywhere. Let gogi review it and then we will know.
Gogi two questions
1. Will it support Jio 4g service
I mean VoLTE service?
Its mediateck processor I doubt for voice call with VoLTE .. I have reliance jio employee card.
2. Service centre list?
Dont know whether it supports VoLTE by default Or not ..Bt if Rjio & LeEco wish this phone can easily get support for VoLTE through a software update.. As Many mediatek handsets(e.g. MMX HANDSETS) are going to get VoLTE update
If you want True VOLTE & VOWIFI supported smartphones then better wait and buy Rjio’s own LYF branded 4g smartphones(manufactured and designed mostly by ZTE) which are set to retail starting from March/April!
le 1s will also fail due to lack of sd slot…..
and le Max due to overpricing..
Correct thats where iPhone fails 😛
32GB Internal Memory is Sufficient for 80% users. You can’t say that It is the reason Le1s is going to Flop. The problem is Camera and battery which is just Average.
I was at launch… Both phones are beautiful and.. Had a wonderful built quality… Eui is the best part…. Also got a free pair of earphones…
☺?
Looks like le 1s is having same ugly border which we saw in the white version of coolpad note 3, why they spoiled it’s beauty with that lame border.
Most of the companies doesn’t even show those borders on their phone in the pics or videos they use for promotions, which means they know exactly how bad those look, but still they keep using those.
dear Gogiji can you please provide the details specification like: Dimension, Weight, SAR value, Dual Sim/Hybrid Sim, Expandable memory, Corning Gorilla Glass Protection of LeEco 1S. please sir!!! Thanks in Advance.
Exactly, specs are not detail,
Any idea about SAR Values
Le 1s , that thick black Bezel is a deal breaker for me, waiting for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 , gogi any word when it will be available (Note 3)
It will be available in India in march.
Little disappointed with le max pricing. Was expecting it around 25000/-
wow!!! what a specs!!! confused!!! bcoz just booked Lenovo K4!! thinking for cancelled and book LeEco 1S
1s is VFM ☺. But lemax made upset by its price?, should be under 30k.
Yeah I agree it should be less by 2k. But its a killer device, its more like a phablet. They should also launch Letv le1, which is a smaller version of le1 max. That should be around 21k with 64 gigs ram and SD810.
Mali T860 mp2 powerful with deca core processor. X20 comes with A72 64bit dual core which equals to 8 cores A53. Sd 820 going to rock again with there custom krait cpu back after sd 805. Sd 810 big fail because they used A53 & A57 big mistake from them. Exynos ruling all others with their own 14nm. Big little architecture cpu.
Le 1s launching apps and multi tasking will be faster with turbo octacore processors but when it’s come for highend 3d gaming with the powervr(weak) gpu. It can drive smooth in medium graphic settings. Still mali T760 mp4 is powerful.
Compare Coolpad Note 3 vs Le 1s.
Well main difference is CCN3 has only HD but 1s is FHD, there is no SD card slot in Let1s but has 32 GB internal. CCN3 has 16 internal with SD slot. Others include there is a screen protection in CCn3 but not mentioned for 1s. And the backlit buttons are seen in 1s but no light in CCN3 capacitive buttons..
Hope Flipkart site will not get crashed on 2nd Feb and Le 1s should sell with the inventory of 50,000 – 1,00,000 units on 1st sale considering the craze its generated with the specs and price.
LEtv 1s is a great looking phone.
Gogi please confirm whether the phone really has the bezel free design and if it has pure dual sim or hybrid?
I own a mobile which have 1.15m bezel still it will be thinner than this one. No bezel does not mean it looks like edge. There will be a thick black strip around the corners. Bezeless is gimmick..
Le 1s not have gyroscope sensor and ESS hifi audio DAC chip. Those who wants to buy le 1s only for hifi audio. Don’t buy. It’s only in Le Max.
How many people buy the smartphone just for DAC and please check the statement of android authority page about DAC in smartphone it’s a gimmick only
LeEco is the future of India .. GO Ahead
Beta let’s better call it as – LeEco have their future in India.
Ho Gogi,. i have a question people saying letv 1s is not good average.. please tell me if it will be better then k3 and k4 note.. when you review… compare with 12 k handset price………
I have only 1 doubt regarding camera.. rest phone is 10 /10
This phone is lot better then those crap phone,I have seen lot of review about this on YouTube . Its best phone available in India in this price.
UX – better than anyother phone below 20k
Gaming – inferior comparatively to k3 note
Helio processor then how gaming is inferior?
No SD card slot 🙁
Great new Gogi… waiting for it… when are you going to review.. try to review before sale
Le 1S is hybrid sim??or all 3 can work at a time!!
It doesn’t comes with external sd card. 32 GB in built memory.
If there is no sd card slot then LeEco has missed the bullsEYE. 1s should have been arrived with dual sims and also a dedicated sd card slot to kill other Chinese options!!
Permanently rest in piece Samsung,sony,htc…etc etc…..its suicide for you!
Le 1s ? Le Max ? Q terra seems good option for 20k range with bigger screen…
The only issue could be service centers, otherwise the 1S is perfect for the price at 10999.
Nailed it
10% cashback on Axis Bank Debit & Credit card means this will effectively cost around Rs. 9900!!!! great deal honestly.
How 10% off
some tipical indian still complaining for not giving memory card slot in le max with 64 gb internal. lol
Le Max is priced at ₹32,999 and Sapphire variant with 128GB ROM is priced at ₹69,999..!! That means extra 64GB cost is 37000..!!! Hahaha what a joke.!! 🙂
Its a typing mistake 128gb one cost ₹ 36,999/-
http://www.flipkart.com/mobiles/letv~brand/pr?sid=tyy,4io&otracker=product_breadCrumbs_Letv%20Mobiles
Yes Really it is a joke..128 gb should be max 43 k
Cancelled Lenovo Note 4 order, and registered for Le 1s 🙂
LOL. defiantly big set back for lenovo most pepole will consider 1s over k3 or k4 note. Le eco just need to keep stock high on flash sale….
is it not sapphire model?
http://www.flipkart.com/letv-le-max/p/itmeeqrrsecxpgsw?pid=MOBEEQRRMPQHDBEM&al=gjlO6EmJ%2F9R2VSvD3Kz3QMldugMWZuE7Qdj0IGOOVqvO%2BxA7yzHof4u0pgM%2FfKv2N%2FIR5xZyrSM%3D&ref=L%3A6174685765705613850&srno=b_3
it is priced at 36999
Sapphire model is different with 128GB ROM and it comes with sapphire glass that is virtually scratch resistant as strong as diamond.
ok so its sill not listed on fk.
Thanks for the information Gogi..it is kind of extra premium device with diamond
But why on a earth some one spend 37k extra for just a glass??? Better buy 64gb or 128gb normal model and put good quality Tampered glass on it and replace it (if needed) every 6 months… 😉
but gogi i hv read somewhere that even sapphire glass can break if dropped from 4-5 meters height. Though it is very much stronger than Gorilla glass but if a phone is dropped at a certain angle it can break.
Le max price is too much considering non expandable memort.
Le 1s looks excellent.. le max is highly overpriced… YU YUTOPHIA is great in that range with almost same specs with 8000/- lesser price…
Let leco is a mnc company in China in being like Samsung lg Sony htc itsa great debute India
Is Le1s camera an average as compared to redmi note 3? which one would be better; redmi note 3 or Le1s? please respond.
On the Web there is a Camera Review, No Doubt Redmi Note 3 Camera is Better but it based on 13MP Camera and in India it is launching 16MP lets wait n See
Gogi bro 1 big Question, is this 2 come with Chinese ROM or International ROM (r they launched International ROM?)
It comes with Chinese ROM I.e Eui
Waiting for this budget beast Le 1s,with very cool pricing.
How is the performance of Helo x10 and heating issue? Seems a very good buy if camera is good and dual sim plus sd slot are present. Many will find usb c a distraction at this stage though. Please must rwview 1s.
There are no SD card slot in the device. Its inbuilt 32GB only.
Oh yes,visited flipkart :(. Otg ke bharose rahna hoga phirbto :)…
le 1s has underwhelming camera, but otherwise it is good. Le max is priced quite sharply so very few handsets will see a sale here in India.
Gogi ji
Plz do quick review 1s
I will try getting one.
Hi Gogi,
In the event they said 2 feb is the flash sale date. and registration is started on flipkart. how to register for this handset
I have registered check the link at the end of this article.
Thanks Gogi, when I wrote the comment, the link was not visible to me.
Had updated it later when the link went live.
Thats like earning in excess from one product and losing a little from another.
Le 1s @ 10,999 is a mother of steal buy things! this is by far the best budget phone in this price segment.
Hats off Leeco… this is how you debut with a bang!
Awesome!
Availability date on flipkart not mentioned/ announced and hope Gogiji is receiving the review unit.
Flash sale is on 2nd Feb means more 13 days to go
available from 2n feb
2nd Feb already registration started
LE HALUA what a price difference
Just impressed by 1S price, but LeMax is defiantly over price.
