We're sure by now many of you must have turned on to Google to look for Leagoo. Quite justified! Leagoo is definitely not a name that you would instantly recognize or relate with smartphones. A Chinese brand - Leagoo isn't as popular as its other counterparts Xiaomi, Lenovo and others.
However, Leagoo has been in the smartphone market for a while and has rolled out budget Android smartphones. Last year, it came up with Elite 1 which catered to rising demand for pleasing budget smartphones in China. As it has limited international market, the smartphone couldn't spread its wings much.
But now it's available to everyone around and can be shipped to any place in the world. As for Indians, it would cost around Rs. 11,200.
Now the question is whether one should spend his or time and money on a device which has been unknown so far and also when there are better choices like the Lenovo K4 Note etc.
Let us find out more about Leagoo Elite 1 & see if it really is what you've been looking for in a smartphone.
Key Specifications
It has a display of 5-inch Full HD with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 441ppi. The device has 1.3GHz 64-bit MediaTek octa-core CPU, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 13MP Sony IMX214 camera with primary sensor and dual LED flash as well as 13MP front snapper. It comes with a 2,400mAh battery and runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. Additional features include the fingerprint scanner, Smart Button, HiFi music dual SIM and 4G LTE.
Look & Feel
Elite 1 has a metal frame crammed between its glass display and mirror-surfaced back panel which helps make the phone more durable. You can hold it quite comfortably and if you prefer single hand use - this is a perfect match. It comes with a Smart Button at right side towards the lower end - it helps to launch camera.
Display
The Full HD display provides excellent viewing angles, color precision and clarity levels. As the display comes with 441 pixels per inch, it helps make your picture quality vibrant and snappish.
Camera
Camera is indeed the plus point in Elite 1 - and this makes us understand why they have provided the smart button access for camera. It works great even in low light, which is actually a concern with most of the smartphones. Elite 1 helps capture accurate colors with great clarity.
Performance
Leagoo Elite 1 is truly a player. Except for few glitches here and there, the phone performs quite well. With Elite 1, you can run multiple apps without having to worry about the phone getting slow or hanging up. However, the charging process is quite slow and device gets heated soon but the heat is bearable.
The Verdict
On the whole, Elite 1 is quite a striking device which certainly brings in a dash of newness to the otherwise droning smartphone market. It had a good camera and the display is also appealing. If the company works a little on the OS and battery - it would really be a great bid.
But the sad part is its limited availability which apparently makes it difficult for the users to consider this device as a smart option.
The device must lower the price considering that it already doesn't enjoy a very good market and user reach. A lesser price would mean definitely persuade people to think of Elite 1 along with other mighty options like LeEco Le 1s and others.
Let's see if the makers bother to bring the price down so that Elite 1 can give a better competition to other devices in the market!
