NEW DELHI, June 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The Two Much-anticipated Superphones Pioneer the Futuristic Audio Technology - CDLA
Standard
In a nearly 2000-people mega launch event, LeEco, the global Internet and technology
conglomerate, has finally unveiled its much-awaited second generation superphones, Le 2
and Le Max2, with the company's symbolized content ecosystem and membership being bundled,
together with its marketplace e-commerce website, LeMall. The company also revealed the
world's first CDLA (Continual Digital Lossless Audio) Type-C earphone, and its project of
recruiting 200 'CEO's.
The event at Siri Fort Auditorium at New Delhi was one of the most well-attended
events in the recent past. At the event, LeEco's official song was also revealed,
specially composed and produced by Pritam's studio Jam8 and sung by Nakash Aziz.
Tin Mok, VP of Le Holdings and CEO, APAC, said, "Today is an extremely important day
for us in our India journey so far. It marks our entry into the thriving e-commerce
industry with the launch of LeMall. Additionally, we are thrilled to bring our second
generation superphones with supertainment to India. Also, we're happy to have achieved a
significant milestone by pioneering digital lossless sound experiences. As forerunners in
bringing the breakthrough technology as well as great features at a disruptive price, we
remain committed to bringing best-in-class devices and services to our users in India."
LeEco's 2nd Generation Superphones: Le 2 and Le Max2
Atul Jain, COO, Smart Electronics Business - LeEco India, who unveiled the
2nd generation of superphones, said, "LeEco is ushering into the ET Era, or what we call
Ecosystem Technology Era. It's time to end the practice of taking the consumers for a ride
and put an end to profit-oriented business models, but actually redefine product value."
"We are focusing on the Eco model, an integration of software, content, services,
applications and hardware," he added.
As the next generation phone, Le 2, with a standard combination of 3GB RAM and 32GB
ROM, is greatly improved from its predecessor. Powered by the Octa-Core Qualcomm (R)
Snapdragon TM 652.
Le 2 provides a 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera. The image quality is visibly
better with vibrant and true-to-life colours. With technologies like PDAF, Closed Loop and
other ground-breaking technologies, people can catch clear pictures in moving and
unfavourable conditions.
Le 2 has an In-Cell display screen which is usually featured with overpriced phones.
The screen's blue light filter helps reduce eye fatigue, while at the same time, the
in-cell screen allows devices to be thinner and lighter.
It is also important to note that in addition to 3G, LTE and GSM, Le 2 supports all 4G
bands in India and also will have VoLTE very soon over an OTA.
Besides Le 2, LeEco also released two versions of the 2nd generation of Le Max, which
is Le Max2. Powered by the world's most powerful processor, Qualcomm (R) Snapdragon TM 820,
the phone, featuring the high performance combination of 4GB RAM + 32GB on board memory
or 6GB RAM + 64GB on board memory, pushed the limits of the industry to new heights. With
a RAM three times that of the iPhone 6s Plus, Le Max2 (6G+64G) is 40% faster performance
than most competitors' models, and is also 17% faster than its predecessor, Le Max.
Le Max2 features a 5.7 inch 2K Super Retina Display, the best display for VR
equipment.
Its 21MP rear camera comes with blazingly fast focusing speeds thanks to PDAF
technology, it also has a F2.0 aperture with OIS for blur free images even in low light.
The rear camera on Le Max2 shoots pictures with great clarity thanks to improved
components or technologies like 6P lens, PDAF, Closed Loop, OIS, Dual HDR and Dual-tone
flash and so on. The Le Max2 is also equipped with an 8MP front camera.
Le Max2 also enjoys a super fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity. It has dual-band and
dual-antenna, which means Le Max2's Wi-Fi speeds are 4 times faster than most of its
competitors, who are on the Wi-Fi 2.4G band and twice as fast as those on the Wi-Fi 5G
band.
Phones bundled with Supertainment ecosystem and membership program
LeEco has also made impressive additions to its supertainment membership program. In
the coming months, through LeEco Membership program, users can get access to a collection
of 2000+ movies. LeEco is all set to have the largest collection of blockbuster and
award-winning movies from across the world, including top regional cinema from India -
across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Bengali films. Meanwhile, the program provides
3000+ hours of curated shows, 150+ live TV channels and 3.5 million songs for users'
choices. LeEco takes the lead in offering 1.9 million songs with lossless audio, bringing
the users' audio experience to a brand new height.
With LeEco's Premium Membership program, users can enjoy premium content, exclusive
discounts, a 5TB LeEco Cloud Drive Storage, live music & concerts with Lossless Audio,
exclusive giveaways and offers, special events with celebrities and top entertainment
talents and many more. Starting from this month, LeEco will also give members access to
more than 50 online international live concerts.
World's first CDLA Standard to disrupt age-old industry norms
Through the new superphones, LeEco has revolutionarily replaced the 3.5mm headphone
port with the world's first CDLA Type-C interface, leading an audio revolution to the
earphone industry that remains the same for decades in India. As an industry pioneer,
LeEco introduced a new digital architecture, CDLA technology that enables end-to-end
lossless digital music transmission, the world's first continual digital lossless audio
standard. The two superphones Le 2 and Le Max 2 are all set to redefine the smart phone
audio technology world.
CDLA is quite intelligent. Every pair of CDLA earphones has its own independent ID, so
it knows who is using it and what recommendations and preferences it can offer to the user,
seamlessly integrating with LeEco's ecosystems.
To showcase the revolutionary CDLA technology, the song composed by the Jam8 studios
was recorded on two devices, one with the existing Hi-Fi audio capability and the other
with the CDLA technology. The difference was unparalleled and the music experience from
the device with CDLA technology was premium and seamless. LeEco has also unveiled the
world's first Type-C CDLA Earphones which consumers can get access to at a competitive
price.
The launch of LeMall to complete an ecosystem approach
With the launch of LeMall, its marketplace e-commerce website, the company has marked
its venture into the e-commerce space in India. LeMall.com, first launched in Mainland
China in 2013, is not only a leading online shopping destination in China but has also
proved a force to be reckoned as highly successful during LeEco's initial global expansion
thus far, to the United States & Hong Kong. Both Le 2 and the Le Max2 will be available on
Flipkart and LeEco's very own marketplace e-commerce website LeMall.com soon.
LeMall is an important step in establishing LeEco's foot print in India. It will serve
as the primary channel for customers to engage with LeEco and become a part of the
ecosystem through the products and services.
