Following a brief hiatus because of financial issues, LeEco has finally returned to the smartphone business. The company has just launched LeTV Y1 Pro—its first phone in years. The phone is currently making headlines because of its iPhone 13 resemblance. In this article, we will be discussing the key specs, features, expected price, and availability of the LeTV Y1 Pro in Nepal.

LeTV Y1 Pro Overview:

Design and Display

As mentioned earlier, LeTV Y1 Pro borrows design cues from the more expensive iPhone 13. It sports a boxy design with flat edges and rounded corners. Even the rear camera setup looks almost similar. Over on the front, there is a 6.54-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution. LeEco has even included a “bathtub” notch, usually associated with the iPhones.

LeEco LeTV Y1 Pro measures 9.5mm in thickness and weighs around 208 grams. It is available in blue, black, and white color options.

Performance and Memory

LeTV Y1 Pro is a lot more underpowered compared to the iPhone 13 that it is trying to imitate. Under the hood, it packs the Unisoc T310 chipset. It’s a quad-core processor built on an older 12nm process.

LeEco has paired the chip with just 4GB of RAM. However, you can choose between 32, 128, and 256GB storage.

Camera

LeEco has advertised its iPhone 13 lookalike as having a dual-camera setup. LeTV Y1 Pro comes with an 8MP primary and a secondary AI lens. The company has not clearly detailed the AI sensor and its function. So, it is not wrong to say that it is there solely for marketing. Upfront, the notch houses a single 5MP selfie shooter.

Rest of the specs

LeEco LeTV Y1 Pro packs a 4,000mAh battery, and there is a Type-C port at the bottom for charging. The phone doesn’t support any fast-charging technology but can accept input of up to 10W. There is no fingerprint scanner, so users will have to use software-based face unlock for biometrics. As for software, it boots on Android 11 with Le OS on top.
