LeEco released quite a few phones this year and the Le Max 2 is probably the best out of their smartphones’ portfolio. It has awesome looks, flagship-grade specs and a lot more to offer.  Learn more in the full review.

Thanks to Letvmart.com for sending LeEco Le Max 2 for a review.

What you are getting in the box include a fast charger, USB C cable, USB C to 3.5mm headset jack adapter, SIM ejector and some paperwork. Last but not least you are getting a soft TPU case.

In terms of the design, Le Max 2 is very similar to our previously reviewed Le 2 and make sure to check that review out.

The phone sports a 5.7”  2k resolution display, which is very sharp, vibrant and it has a decent sunlight legibility.

Because of a large display, the phone is quite huge and it is very hard to manage it in one hand.

We have an all-metal unibody design and the edges of the backplate are slightly curved and thus it is easier to hold it.

We have an 8MP front firing shooter and non-customizable LED notification light.

The capacitive buttons are nicely backlit but the backlight is not visible outdoors.

As far as optics, we have a beefy and slightly protruding 21MP shooter with OIS, f/2.0 aperture, PDAF and dual-LED flash.

The fingerprint scanner is very fast and accurate, and it works straight from the standby mode. Keep in mind that you have to update your software to the latest version as the early software build had some fingerprint scanner issues but right now the issue has been solved.

One of the most interesting aspects of this phone is that it does not have a headset jack. Instead, LeEco assures that this phone is capable of providing even better audio experience via the USB C port as it uses a new CDLA music standard. I have to tell you that the sound quality via the earphones is very good and the volume output is loud.

The IR blaster is here to control devices like TVs. The sound quality from the loudspeaker is significantly better than on Le 2. Sure, the quality is not ideal but the sound is crisp and it has a decent amount of depth. Also, the loudspeaker can get really loud. However, I don’t like the placement of it as you can easily cover it (bottom left).

The dual-SIM card tray can take 2 nano SIM cards and both slots support 4G networks. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot.

The buttons are made of metal too but, unfortunately, the volume rocker rattles quite a bit.

Overall, the phone looks and feels great. It is very well built, it has all-metal design and the only shortcoming is a rattling volume rocker.

When it comes to hardware, LeEco Le Max 2 is just a beast. In fact, our review unit is a lower-end model, which sports Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of non-expandable storage. If you even better specs, you can opt in for a 64GB model, which has whopping 6GB of RAM.

When it comes to gaming, you can be rest assured that every game will just fly.  Also, the graphics looked great on each game I tested and the phone did not heat up to uncomfortable levels. See a video review for gameplay/graphics performance.

When it comes to the user interface, we have the eUI 5.6, which is built on top of Android 6.0.

In fact, Letvmart.com shipped our review unit with fully debloated ROM with Google services and multi-languages pre-installed. I’ve tested this ROM for quite a while and it works great. If you don’t like it, you can always flash the original Chinese ROM.
