Hello Folks,
I wanted to share a review of my #Superphone LeEco Le 1s, so I waited for months before judging this phone. Here is my review after 3 months of usage.
1. Design
The phone has a full metal body which feels great in hands. Also, it has thin bezels on the side which are almost non-existent. The phone has been well-crafted and no other phone feels this unbelievably premium at this price point. No other phones in this price segment looks as beautiful as Le 1s.

2. Display
The first thing you’d notice after its metal design is its display. It has an 1080P Full HD screen, which is just brilliant. The images are crisp with a high colour contrast and saturation. It feels great to watch media.
3. Fingerprint Sensor
There is a mirror finished fingerprint sensor on the back of the 1s, right above their branding. Its accuracy is really good and its placement is just perfect. The index finger naturally rests there no matter which hand you use it from and the device is automatically unlocked.
4. 4K Recording
One neat feature hidden is that the phone capable of recording 4K videos. It can be enabled by going into the camera settings while inside the camera. Frankly it is not the best 4K camera out there, but it gets the job done. Most of the phone cameras out there which record 4K cost about INR 50,000. Also, it is a clever addition to the phone because they sell 4K TVs in China on which these videos can be consumed. They intend to bring these TVs to India soon!
5. Fast Charging
The LeEco Le 1s supports USB Type-C port at the bottom and it has a 3,000mAh battery which is pretty average for everyday usage. It lasts half a day with heavy usage and lasts full day if you are not a heavy user. It comes with support for fast charging. My device is taking 1 hour 20 minutes to get fully charged.
6. IR Blaster
On the top right on the phone, there is a small IR blaster placed and the phone can be used as a remote with a dedicated app which is preinstalled in the device. This app can be used to control many home appliances like TVs, AC, etc. Also, they let you make your own remote with custom IR functions.
7. Dual SIM
LeEco 1s comes with dual SIM support, something that is common with most of the phones these days. They can be accessed using a SIM eject tool and has support for one Micro SIM and one Nano SIM. The best part of the dual SIM is that both the SIMs support 4K at the same time!
8. Price
Last but not least, the final reason to get this beautiful handset is its price. The Le 1s is priced at INR 10,999/- which is tad lower when compared to phones with similar features. The LeEco company has claimed that they are selling this phone with a loss i.e. for less than bill of materials.

Hi guys, I'm taking some time to review something that has become one of my most used tools.
It's a flashlight, but it's also a power supply.
Well I have tested this device for a few months been a police officer I have tested in extreme situations.
And I want to let you know why I believe this is a necessary tool.
1.brightness
2. Aplication
3. Power
4. Confort and durability

First as I've been working in security for more than 10 years now. I've had bought more flashlights than I need[emoji1]
Well this is well above average, and quite awesome. It's brightness is more concentrated than my last 5watt torchlight and about the same brightness. Which it's perfect for all use.
Recently we had power surge and we used this device to light out the house. It did awesomely and was the only thing I needed.
Application:
As said before this is a bright torch and will not disappoint, and with its various modes it brings many functions.
1.flashlight
2. Torch
3. Emergency signal
Also this has a hidden feature a glass breaker, which many people don't even think of using but in a car accident it's a life saver, also it hides a seat belt cutter conveniently on the back but in such fashion it's safe for anyone.
Power
Power is something we look on all devices and many disappoint. But this one I use almost every day and I have charged it just a few. It easily covers you for a hole week without charging. And by heavy use.
And did I said its a power supply for smartphones? Yes, you take out the top cover and it unlocks it's main feature. A USB connection to charge your phone a side from the micro USB to charge the device itself.
So you'll never be out of juice in the hardest situations.
And to close out this review this device sounds huge and bulky but it's surprisingly light and ergonomic designed for the grip of your hand it will fit without slipping and it's hard as rock. Mine has endured hard weather, work and a 4year old kid. It has been thrown and survived in crazy situations without problems what more can you expect.
Here is the link for anyone who would like to check it out.

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing.
how many lumens? if its not at least a few hundred it cant replace my streamlight
Good question. Their website only says 3 watts. For now I'll also stick with my Streamlight (though it is just a flashlight).

Believe me, I had a good one for $45, and it's not worth it, it's very limited, has a nausea inducing delay, bad resolution, bad optics, no good content except movies. Please save money and buy an Oculus Quest 2 for $299 or cheaper if used, it's unarguably on another level.
you can also go for a cheap 10$ one if you insist on using your phone for vr purposes as they all offer roughly the same experience at least thats my opinion on it
I agree with Kryptuz.
Your best bet is to purchase an Oculus quest 2.
The thing about using phones for your VR display... Over time phone screens get scratches in them no matter how tiny or big just from being in your pocket or whatever. A tiny scratch on the screen that isn't noticeable normally, will be very noticeable, frustrating or just plain tacky
once your viewing the screen through magnifying VR lenses. Nothing can touch the quest 2 screen so it's 100% safe from blemishes or scratches.
Not to mention, your phone is bloated with Google play store, search, services, framework, ect. That run in the background constantly. Diminishing it's VR potential.
Quest 2 does not have any potential diminishing background services. So the device is 100% focused on strictly VR. PLUS most phone VR sets only come with a single cheap Bluetooth remote. The quest 2 comes with dual position/motion/pressure sensitive controllers. The difference between physically reaching out and grabbing something Or pressing a button on a dinky lil thing.
Also worth mentioning the quest2 has something called the GUARDIAN. Which allows you to set the outline of your safe play zone. And the Oculus will make sure you stay within your designated SafeZone so you don't wonder into traffic or run into a wall.
If you just want to play media locally (movies, ect). Store media on phone, install DLNA from app store on phone. In DLNA app set the directory of the media. From the headset, install Pigasus. As long as both devices are on the same wifi, Pigasus will read media being broadcasted via DLNA from your phone.
Just trust me.... The quest2 is a much better option.
I notice the Mi 11 Ultra has a dToF sensor, i have searched some info and i'm not sure, is it the same as LIDAR from Apple iphone 12 pro?
What application work with it?
What are your opinions on it? success?
Also there's a new 3rd person view on Oculus Quest 2 that lets you use the phone and see the person and the game inside virtual reality that is currently only used in iphone 12 probably with LIDAR, do you think it will be up for this phone as well?

and this news
dToF likely to be mainstream 3D depth-sensing technology in 2021
Doing a little more research i found with 99% certainty that the Mi 11 Ultra is using "Sony's Direct Time of Flight depth sensor" launched recently in Feb 2021 and also used in Iphone 12 Pro named "LIDAR" achieving 300meter range.
dTop in mi11ultra is used for night/day shots to calculate focus., but it can be used for other applications like measure height and width with great precision, create 3D mapping environments of objects and houses and even people like Apple is doing.
Also i read Sony did a 3 year contract with this technology with future Apple iPhones and iPads for 3 years but havent read anything about exclusivity.
So i hope Xiaomi or even third party apps do something with this too and don't leave a potential unchecked. The hardware is there, it just needs to software.

My iPhone 13 Mini starlight arrived earlier today (thanks Amazon).
Im an IT guy by trade and hobby and have always gravitated towards the larger phones.
However as of recently Ive had the need to have both iPhone and Android devices (work reasons) and up until my Mini arrived, was using the Apple 12 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
However, my usage case gravitated more towards the android for media consumption, file management, social media etc and the iPhone was more work based / apple ecosystem esq / so iMessage, copy and paste between phone and macOS, Apple Pay and Apple CarPlay (Android Auto sux big time)
However it got me thinking that as the usage of iOS was not as screen intensive as the S21 Ultra, a smaller iPhone would make more sense!
Whilst the mini is used alongside the big boy Android, the x2 together fit my work and play requirements beautifully , far mo so than caring around x2 behemoths!
S21 Ultra and Pixel 6
I also have an iPhone in my backpack, but it is my least used device by far. The Note 10 is now my daily, the LG V20 is a backup on alarm duty, and the HTC One has been relegated to security duty, but the Moto X Pure Edition is still my favorite ever (best screen + best sound ever seen and heard on a mobile device). If I didn't desire band 71 LTE, I probably would've ended up just switching back to a higher capacity Pure Edition.
I have 2 phones, the s21 ultra and iphone se.. my s21 ultra is ny daily driver, i was going to make iphone as my daily driver because of the apple watch 7 and ipad pro 2021..but i felt its not the time yet to do this move
I have the galaxy watch 4..but i felt the watch 7 is way better
I've always been a Pixel fan, had each one and have a P6P now. The Galaxy S phones always interest me too and I usually grab one. I don't have 2 at the moment but I'm seeing that S22U in my future. I think the way to fix my dilemma is to have both.
Today we have the option of numerous smartphones with screens usually above 6in and packed with tons of features. We have become used to the gestures and gimmicks that come with the present generation of smartphones and are lost if somehow we misplace these devices even for a short time.
All said and done, we still have found memories of some devices we once owned.
My all-time favorite was a Samsung Marine waterproof and shockproof mobile I had way back in 2010(?)
The device specs compared to today's devices was laughable
Screen Size 1.77 inches
Battery: 1000mh
Camera : 1.3 MP camera,
flash, bluetooth, GPRS connectivity & JAVA support.
Display Type TFT-LCD, 256K colors
Resolution 120 x 160 pixels
Pixel Density 113 ppi
Operating System Proprietary Samsung
Internal Memory 7 MB
Expandable 8 GB, MicroSD
Keypad Alpha-Numeric
No WIfi, No Headphone connector,
The phone was put through a proper shock-test one day as it fell from my pocket on to a busy street while I was riding a motorbike. When I retrieved it, not only was it working, there were also no scratches on it!! I was located in Mumbai then and had carried this phone through many a rain. Never did it give me any problem.
Finally had to move to larger and costlier models as the need to browse emails and reply to social media posts became the deciding factor over simplicity.
Which is your favorite mobile phone model and why ?
A Samsung ruggedized flip top still running after almost 12 years. A tough, rugged phone.
Never any repairs other than a battery.

Good old Nokia E72, but E6 wasn't terrible either. Old-style screen where you don't need backlight during the day; battery that ACTUALLY lasted a week; all the internet fluff; and THE very best QWERTY like no one else has ever made then and since.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unlight LCDs, that takes me back...
My 89 Motorola mobile phone actually was a phone. The red LED display reminded me of Nix tube technology. Coverage and rates were another story. Unlimited calling, no such thing
