Where to buy LeEco Le Max 2? - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm from Australia and I'm wondering where would I be able to buy the LeEco Le Max 2?
Cheers,
Jeff

This is a link directly to the Letv official store.
I ordered one last week with an estimated delivery time of 3- 8 business days.
Seems only 4GB ram 32Gb storage models are still in stock for very cheap $259 if you don't mind the Rose Gold color.
128 GB version is also available but for a fairly high price.
The price for this device on nay other website is greatly inflated so I recommend buying directly through LETV using Paypal.
One issue is that they will not communicate with you / very poor customer service.

This is NOT the "official store" of Letv, this just one reseller...I don't know how you ever got the idea this was the official letv smartphone store.

They listed themselves as an official reseller. I guess I just assumed they would work kind of like Xiaomi and have a different official store for every region.
Again do not order from these guys if you want any service at all, they will never respond to you even if you open a claim with PayPal.

I guess I over reacted , they never told me the phone had shipped but it was sitting in the mail when I got off work.

I buy me lemax2 in spemall.com

got mine on geekbuying came pretty fast to the UK with TNT airmail just about a week for me.

Mine was from AliExpress - $230 with free shipping (took a couple of weeks)

Good customer service in spemall

How's the phone?

The phone is around 220usd on ali for rose gold and only ten bucks more for the grey version now. Must be the best buy of the year.. When the Le Pro 3 release I bet the phone will go even lower

What about rom?
Was it Chinese?
Also can you tell more about bloatware which can be removed?

Was a debloated, multi-language and Google-installed version of the Chinese 16S firmware that the seller had put on there. But I flashed stock pretty soon. Can't remove much bloat unless you root, but that is thankfully easy.

If you are saying it was debloated and already had play store then why did you flash rom?
Am i missing something here?

Several reasons - it was Chinese 16S so now out of date a little, it had strange scaling so icons were too small and some of them looked strange, and mainly just didn't really want software that had been set up by someone else.

If you flash the Indian official firmware, it is all in English, already has Google services / play store / apps properly installed and integrated, and doesn't have that much bloat.

What about updates, do you have to flash whole size rom?

jenkoaz, I believe LeEco had just lowered the price of the phone recently, perhaps you may wait a week or two when the new lowered prices are settled in the market.

RMN2 Hard Brick, CM12.1

Hey devs,
for about 3 weeks I have been a proud owner of the RMN2 Prime until yesterday, when it suddenly turned off and died.
When I got the phone I started skinning it down with jaik's custom boot image and also cleaned it from unused apps. So far so good.
Now, some days ago I decided to switch over to danielpinto's CM12.1 , which is really awesome compared to MIUI. No problems either.
I also installed Greenify and Disable services to get rid of some battery hogs.
Yesterday, I was out of home whole day, had minimal standby battery drain, but really massive battery drop when recording a video (~50% to 25% in about 2min).
Put it in my pocket, and 10 min later it didn't turn on again. I thought it would be the battery, but apparently it's bricked. No charge LED, no PC recognition, nothing...
I tried to unbrick it via SP tool and some really unconvenient tutorials, but nothing worked. I guess I installed all needed drivers now, but SP tool doesn't show any reaction in the progress bar (the coloured bar at the bottom...I don't get ANY colour, nothing starts when I click the download button).
What to do?
The RMN2 is a pretty good phone IMO, but now also my first bricked one. I would be extremly graceful if some experienced xda devs could help me with this as I'm really desperated.
I'm from Europe and ordering a new one (if I'd need to) would take some weeks from now.
If so, have you any suggestions on which device might be a better choice? It should be in the same price range though.
Thanks for reading!
Best regards
If it is broken.... I guess new phone can be redmi note 3 pro.
Only thing I can think of is trying with a new battery.. (something must be wrong with it if it drained that quickly).
Thanks for your replies!

Well, after I used the camera the drain was normal again and stayed at 27%. I also removed the battery and directly powered it from my powerbank, but it never turned on or vibrated...and no LED...

The extra features of the 3 pro are not really attractive for me. I've found the Elephone P9000 Lite today and I think this might be great alternative. Or I give the RMN2 another chance. Not sure on this yet...

Wouldn't it be less costly to first spend 10$ on a new battery before buying a new phone? In regards to a new phone, I'd chose a Snapdragon 650 powered RN3 w/ a 4k mAh battery over the Elephone P9000 Lite any day of the week. My brother has one and it's an amazing phone. Of course it all depends of what you find important in a phone. What makes you go for the Elephone?

Really appreciate your thoughts, man!
If I could be sure that it was a battery problem I would of course buy a new one. But it really appears to be a hard brick (I tested it with the battery removed and the phone directly plugged to the charger -> no LED, no reaction) Also the PC can't recognise it anymore.
The RN3 might surely be a nice phone, but for me the fingerprint, slithly faster performance and the battery are not worth 60€ more.
I just stumbled over the P9000 Lite yesterday and it seems to have everything the RN2 has + more RAM, LTE band 20 and Marshmallow. Negative is the small xda community for it...
And today I just found Ulefone! Geez, almost the same company name, but whole different stuff...there are way too many china phones out there!
The Elephone is down for a Ulefone Power or Ulefone Vienna.
Any thoughts?
Btw FYI, my preferences would be:
- at least 3000mAH
- 5.5 inch FHD
- Android 6 (or via update) + maybe chance for N if it's not asked too much
- at least 2Gb RAM, processor level of RN2 would be sufficient
- I don't care about the camera quality at all
- less than ~180€
Does the phone vibrate when you plug it to the charger without the battery?

Where did you buy your phone? Maybe it's still in warranty and maybe they will fix it for free,spending some $ to fix the rn2 is more convenient

I got it from Gearbest and it's still in their 45 days warranty. I'll probably try to ask for a refund and order a new RN2.
Sending it back, fixing it, then sending it back to me would last monthes...
So I'll order a new one today or tomorrow, I'm just undecided between Ulefone Power or RN2.

Djeeeeeeeeeeeez thx a lot!! You've made me look at that Elephone P9000 Lite, then at that Ulefone Power (looks awesome w/ wooden back!) and now i'm considering passing on my RN2 to a family member and going on a spending spree (again) I wouldn't personally go for the Ulefone Power because of it's less than great MT6753 processor, 16GB (only) storage and Ulefone's custom ROM (planned upgrade to MM, but yeah don't think it'll get N).
I'm actually moving to China in a couple of weeks and one of the first things I'll do when I get there is go have a look at the Umi Super. Check out these specs:
- SHARP 2.5D 5.5 FHD display (Gorilla glass 3)
- Mediatek P10 (MT6755) @ 2.0GHz
- SAMSUNG 32GB eMMC 5.1 ROM
- SAMSUNG LPDDR3 4GB RAM
- SONY 4000 mAh battery
- PANASONIC 13MP dual flash camera
- TYPE-C USB / SD card up to 256GB / Fingerprint sensor / Dual SIM (shared 2nd slot w/ SD)
And when you thought it couldn't get any better, it comes with stock Android 6.0 (yes you've read that right!! it's a Nexus!!!!! ) and Umi offers a ROM flashing tool (Rootjoy) on their website and the tool allows you to flash a MIUI, VIBE, EMUI or LEWA ROM, made for the Super, to the phone
That is one hell of a crazy phone! Now I know in your requirements it says "less than 180e" and there is a time limited offer on Umi's homepage to get it for 179.99$ (not sure about shipping fees). Anyway, I'm gonna get it even if I need to shell the normal 249.99$ price for it (it's more than worth it if you look at the top class components they've chosen for the Super). So screw the idea of repairing your RN2, throw it in the bin (or put it up on eBay) and get that unibody aluminium one

Damn it, now there are 3 devices to choose from
The RN2 has a strong community, but bad battery..
the Ulefone Power has...ehm...power and MM, but is unhandy and has no community..
and the UMI Super sounds awesome, but has even less community and it will take monthes til it would be here with me!
Do you have a link to the 180 bucks offer? found it
And are you in anyway paid by UMI by chance?
EDIT: Ok, somehow got hooked by the Super Now the only question is where to get it fast and cheap
I can't stand getting along with my old Lg L7 for so long!

Not in any way., I only found out about Umi at 2am last night when I was still looking at the newer China phones xD You can go on their website and click on the Super promo on the homepage (Snap now) and it will show you all the supported resellers (Gearbest and alike + 1 shop on Aliexpress/eBay). The Aliexpress shop (Deal Home) seems to be the only one having stock already (there's a certificate signed by a Umi representative stating that Deal Home has the First launch exclusivity) and all the other shops won't be sending anything out before June 20th. I've taken a look at their flash sale system. First, you need to register for the coupon (which they mail every Wednesday to the lucky first ones) and then you need to wait on a flash sale day (there was one on May 23rd and the next one, which we'll miss obviously, is on May 31th). Only on those days, and at the following hours: 00:00, 03:00, 06:00, 18:00 and 21:00, can you get one for 179$. The 179$ phones will be shipped out after 7 days according to the shop. So this system 1) scks and 2) is not as speedy as we like.
But there's a second option. You can buy it in a presale (right now) w/o the flash sale crap for 219.99$ on Deal Home (there's a 10$ seller discount as well) and according to them, those phones get shipped out "24~48h after test well". Thing is, I'm not sure how true that all is since in the shipping option, it mentions "ships out within 28 business days" (but that might be a default aliexpress thing). I'd just contact the shop and ask how quickly you can get it (or the item is being shipped out) if you take the 209.99$ one. They have 81 gray ones and 97 golden ones left.
It is true that the dev community is pretty small, but how much of it do you need if they offer a stock ROM by default (w/ possibility of root, xposed, etc.) and many alternative ROMS as an option? The only thing they might not do (but that's the same for every other Android vendor) is to offer an upgrade to Android N. I checked their forum a bit and at least they're being honest and clear about it when and why one of their devices isn't being updated to a new Android version.
I just had a first look at the sellers today and at the moment they all sell them for about 190€ - 200€, which is still okay for me (especially compared to the RN3). That is efox, tomtop, Banggood and Gearbest. Aliexpress' Deal Home unfortunately doesn't ship to my country. But I saw that Gearbest also has this kind of flash sale on special days of the week.
They all seem to deliver from mid to end of June plus the shipping time itself. So it will be here in mid July at the earliest...

Ah the major downside of importing phones from China .. it takes forever to get them (unless you pay an extra 35$ for a DHL <8 days delivery).

Awesome. That seals the deal for me
Btw, this is Umi's official shop on Aliexpress. You can get the super deal and flash deal for their device right there. There's even 1 super deal phone in stock but unfortunately it's a gold one.

In the meantime I ordered the UMI Super for 164€. I'm really excited, but have to wait until July at least, as it will be shipped from 25th June at the earliest -.-
And now I'm already wondering if I should send the Super right back to GearBest and buy a Vernee Apollo Lite.
I thought the Super would be the best of the best for this price atm, but when you see the Apollo Lite....
- Helio X20 Deca core (Antutu >90000)
- IGZO display that seems to be really power efficient
- better camera with better focus
and Vernee is said to get a lot of hours out of a 3000mAH battery. While the 4000mAH of the Umi might not hold what they promise...
I'm not really into the fastest processor available as you won't feel a big differnece in daily use anyway, but it still seems to be a better package overall.
Price ~200€, ~230$ pre-sale
I ordered aswell they working on the battery like the last update. Waiting for root =(
Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 2 mit Tapatalk
Little update and a question:
I'm currently pretty happy with the UMI Super. All I wish for is DTTW and a Wifi fix, but all in all a really decent device for that price.
Regarding the RMN 2:
It's a real shame that I cant revive it...so dead...yet so beautiful
I disassembled it and tried the test point method as a last resort, but I can't identify the test points.
Anyone knows where they are?
I googled, but to no avail...
Thanks everyone!

any reason not to buy the Chinese STF-AL10 version?

i saw it here for sale (Fulfilled by amazon even):
https://www.amazon.com/HUAWEI-Honor-STF-AL10-Smartphone-Seagull/dp/B072MZ7LYG
and it seems like a good price - i never had a chinese phone but i heard the chinese roms are BAD with malware and stuff - is this true for the STF-AL10 too? and if so, how hard would it be to unlock+root and flash another version?
ty!
Unless you live in China. Then there is no good reason to get the Chinese version of the Honor 9.

If it's really cheap then why not? By really cheap I mean less than $200.

Not really malware but more bloatware than the international version. Also, Google services is not installed. You need to install it yourself.

Leeco Lemax2 discontinued?

Hello to everyone... I had a very bad case of "unluckiness" recently. I bouth a Lemax2 from Banggood. Received it defective (the earpiece was defective), i sent it back to Banggood. I was in constant contant with the banggood service team, where they repeteadly told me that when they receive it back and see that it is defective they will send immediately a replacement Lemax2 phone and also refund the postage fees of the returned phone.
That was till yesterday. TOday i received an email saying that it is no longer in stock, so they can;t send a replacement. Ofcourse i went kinda frenzy, because they knew i wanted a replacement and they COULD have hold onto one for me (i know they're dropshippers and they don;t actually have stock themselves, but since they knew our dealing, they could have told their seller to hold one for them...)
ANYHOW they agree ofcourse to a full refund, but the thing is i don;t want a refund but a Lemax2.
I went to search for another shop to buy it from (i need it to be sent via triangle shipping to skip the customs of my country, as it did with banggood) but wherever i searched (except aliexpress they dont support the shipping method i require), theres NOWHERE to be found. Some sites report it to be SOON stocked again, others that it is discontinued.
The funny thing is i already bought screen tempered glass protectors and cases, which i already received...
My question is finally if anyone knows and has some info about it, is it really discontinued? Did they pull it from the market so they can promote the new x920 and x850 leecos? Or is it something that happedned before and it went to stock again?
The device was initially released in May of 2016. So, yeah... it's most likely discontinued by now, and given LeEco's finiancial status at moment, even if it weren't they may not even have the resources (i.e money) to manufacture them...

Thanks for the answer, yes i know the history of the brand etc, just seemed weird.

Ofc discontinued as well as entire company does not exists anymore. There won't be any new LeEco phones, company is dead already

I think you're wrong. A lot of guessing going on here. Ofc it's not dead. They just released 2 more phones X850 and X920. An there's a 18:9 sr phone coming as well with flagship tech on it.
My question was if someone has actually some info that he/she may have stumbled upon, cause it looks to me their pulling the Lemax2 so they can push the forementioned phones...

Heyyo, x850 and x920 tbh aren't official releases. From what I see they are engineering samples much like they did with the LeEco LeMaxPro (x910) hence it isn't promoted on their website anywhere.
There's also no official source code release for x850 and x920 so unfortunately software development of custom ROMs is limited in that regard...
I'd recommend looking into Le Pro3 as they're also a darn good option. Otherwise? Xiaomi devices have insanely good software development community so they're always a healthy option as long as you avoid MediaTek SoC devices.
Le Pro3 AI is like a Le Max 2 but FHD screen and camera isn't as good for taking photos as Le Max 2.

Thanks for the reply man, appreciate it, thought the funny thing is, LePro 3 is ALSO out of stock. (!!!) While i can find both Lemax2 and Lepro3 in Aliexpress , i can't get them from there cause of custom importing issues (they want full price of the phone, as tax )
Lepro3 AI is MTK and as a previous user of MTKs' i got kinda sick of them... The ROM love i saw on Lemax2 along with the very good specs and awesome price, made me fall in love with it.
Banggood and gearbest out of stock too...
Sorry for mentioning shops, i hope i'm not breaking any rules by doing so, it's just only these shops offer the shipping method preferable.
My luck i guess!

Heyyo, whoops! I meant Le Pro3 elite haha my bad yeah avoid AI edition it is poop MediaTek. :silly:
Hmm if that's the case where you need to buy within the country? Sorry man I'm unsure what to tell you then... If no one will stock it anytime soon? You might be better off looking at a different device.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 does look really good and reviews good and since it's a Xiaomi device with Qualcomm Snapdragon? It'll get really good community software development support. It might only have 3GB of RAM but that's not so bad of a loss as I've never felt my Le Max 2 really benefitted from 4GB of RAM over a 3GB phone but maybe that's just me...
But I see what you mean, those vendors do show LeEco devices as preorder so maybe they are eventually going to restock?
I would also suggest considering Xiaomi. Got my mother a Redmi 4A, it was only $135 cad at the time.... and I'll be honest, the level of quality for the price is actually very surprising. They're certainly worth looking at.
thank you both for your time guys. I acknowledge Xiaomi too, not too fond of their design, but while never had one myself, i can see they're pretty solid devices.
I will be waiting for a bit to see what's going on with Leeco Max2 or Pro3, cause they're at an awesome price for their specs, and they do have awesome specs and rom support. Just hit me a bit weird that they both went out of stock to most if not all known chinese eshops, while Aliexpress sellers still sell them. Either we can expect a move from leeco (surprising knowing the state of the company atm, but still..) or there is no stock left...
Heyyo, update! Good guys on Telegram LeEco channels told me this
Anurag Dhiman:
I bought it for snapdeal website but there is out of stock now.but in delhi some guys have stock and they sold at olx.so try to find in olx
He got an x821 last month for dirt cheap from Snapdeal but yeah might not get lucky meow but might as well check both out eh?
Same nice guy from Telegram sent me this... Good luck!
not sold out
hey banggood has them still on sale, it seems that every couple of days they get more and sell them for a good price (promotion sale for 159 us dollars). The company might not be doing so good but in china they are a very solid company doing many other things so going out of business in unlikely IMHO. (add to the fact that a communist country too)
As for another phone the lepro 3 is more expensive but the le 2 is around 100 dollars and a lower processor (equal to the xiaomi that was mentioned before) or the s3 both have snapdragons but with lower specs in general but seem like the idea in terms of quality.
Aliexpress have them cheaper. Check Kimovil for cheapest prices...

Tons of new LeMax 2 on Aliexpress in stock. There is no problem to buy it, still.
But yes, it's discontinued. If not, show me where manufacturer mentioned this phone on his website. Please give me a link.
Also please prove LE still manufactures any phones, please give me a link to their homepage.
I bought Le Max 2 (4/32) from banggoog. But I believe the phone that they sent me has some sort of hardware problem. I don't mention that fingerprint is terrible, because I guess fingerprint is a common problem with Le Max 2. But no matter what ROM I installed, wifi stops working after some time (about 500 MB or 1 GB transferred with wifi). I checked if there are any bandwidth restriction from ROM, but there is not any. After that threshold wifi starts to drop the download processes. I tried with 26S Chinese stock ROM and Lineage 15.1 ROM. I started to believe this is a hardware issue.
I think banggood and maybe other sellers are selling returned for problems and refurbished Le Max 2 phones.

LE is a major chinese TV it has branched out to far (including selling in the us phones) and strapped of cash had a lot of financial problems. The head of the company was replaced and other companies bought some of the stock. The latest shareholder meetings seem to indicate that they are still looking for cash see https://www.reuters.com/article/med...-fund-leeco-subsidiaries-caixin-idUSL3N1RV4FQ however the mobile unit called lemobile has been silent dealing with its own lawsuits see https://www.reuters.com/article/bri...dict-regarding-contract-dispute-idUSL3N1QX42C. With all this thier is no notification of bankrupticy that is where my opnion comes from. They do have multipal patents in thier name see https://www.onscope.com/ipowner/en/...le-information-technology-beijing-co-ltd.html which are not sold off as of yet (thats what it seems anyway). IMHO LE over produced phones and that is what we have but I do not know if they are still producing the phones to stay alive. A we know it still is a good phone after2 years (ok no NFC and wireless charging). I did not verify what is being sold in stores in china but the website lemall.com only has TVs. Still no company backing anything.

India Flash Sale - Who got theirs?

Hey all,
So I just got my RN7 Pro via the Indian flash sale, hoping they ship it to me quickly.
Really excited to get rid of my Nokia 6.1 Plus and have a Xiaomi again, I picked up the Xiaomi QC3 charger as well just because - I already have one and was planning on getting a QC 3 and USB PD charger anyways but is a nice to have.
I see they sold out really quickly, although the site handled the load pretty well. Managed to get the Neptune blue 4/64 version which is perfect for me.
So who else managed to get one and any idea when Mi will ship the devices out to us?
I hope not many bugs (if any) when we receive the device.
Was really upset that they didn't have the 6gb variant available, neither via flipkart or mi store.. was looking to pick that up
i got 4 + 64 + blue

Very likely stock issues. The f-codes that they shared with media and mi fans were only for blue and black 4gb variants, so they must have known that the others would not be available on the first sale.
I am a bit disappointed. I wanted to pick up a 6GB blue for Portal work, but the option just wasn't present. And they ran out of stock in 2 mins. I had to use up a f-code for a 4gb, much to the displeasure of a relative who was counting on me to give it to them.
I did not even realize they did not have the 6GB version available, luckily I decided to go for the 4GB Version.
With general use I find I do not even use close to the full 4GB, perhaps if I played games then the 6GB variant may be worth while?
I see the Mi shop have already shipped out the order as well, that i really quick! I am impressived, they plan to have it delivered by 15th March. So hopefully end of next week it will arrive in my country.
I wonder when the next flash sale is and when they plan on releasing the 6GB variant...
Those who have ordered, please let us know once you receive it and how the phone is and any possible bugs / issues you notice.
Was waiting for over an year to change from a good old Nexus, finally managed to decide and purchase a RN 7 Pro Neptune blue 4+64, eagerly waiting to get the hands on.

Same here. Was all prepared for the 6/128 gig variant but damn that was a included in the sale. Really disappointing. Any idea if that'll be available in the second sale or may be we have to wait more for that? I'll go for the 6 gig variant only.
I wanted a 6 GB ram variant but it wasn't available at Mi Home store. I purchased a 4 GB one.
My order is already here. Ordered yesterday, to be delivered to my address in the middle of Mumbai city. Really pleased with the speed.
Got mine today. Its awesome I must say
Got mine today. Miui is bloaty as hell and ads everywhere lmao
I couldn't get one in first sale.. almost bought but bank otp came after 4 minutes.. bad luck

I find this hard to believe. I've had the camera crash on me several times in the 48MP mode. The normal mode is ok at best.
I got it yesterday now im looking for some healthy dev love for this beast

Question Pixel 6 at 230 CAD, worth it?

Hey everyone, so I was planning on getting the pixel 6 on launch day but i was disappointed with reading about the so many bugs especially that I had bugs with the pixel earbuds 2 made it useless.
I was going to jump into the apple world and get an iphone but the telecom company offered the pixel 6 at 230 CAD, which made me wonder again if it is worth paying a lot more for apple.
Also I like vanced and no ads on android.
Any advice?
I would rather use a flip phone from 2001 than an I phone. Does that help any?

But can you deny the fact that apps are better on ios and they use the phone camera properly, while camera on 3rd party apps on android is really bad?
I am not familiar with the bug for the buds, but most of the major bugs on the P6 have been squashed. The fingerprint reader has improved somewhat, but could definitely be better.
230 CAD converted to $180 USD which is a steal for this phone. What kinda strings are attached?

2 years plan but that's covered by the company.
I have the option to cover the cost of phone over 24 months installments but not sure which is better pay it all or over 2 years.
if its lock bootloader I woudlnt get it.
the camera is worth 300$ by it self, and the fact that there is every chance the comminty will still have updated roms in ten years is also worth the 800$ google is asking.
apple could bone you dry tommorow if they decided to shut down operations. with apple you have zero choices.
How much is $230 cad in US dollars?
My guess is $150 US.
To answer the question, yes that is stealing the Pixel 6 for that price.
Crapple has no customization, period..
For sure it is worth it, are you paying more per month on a subsidy or is it a bring it back plan?

Come on all iphone apps in app camera is great compared to when apps access the camera on pixel they use the camera without the processing from google to make it look better.

all (new) phones sold from official sources in Canada are bootloader unlocked, including Google Store, Carriers and Best Buy.
If you're getting it from somewhere else, check the model # (google it and you'll see if its a verizon model or)
But yes, that's an amazing price. The Pixel 6 is like $799 in CA

Ah yes then it will be unlocked, thank you a lot. Just hoping now Google's upcoming update fixes the issues.

I mean most users aren't experiencing any issues. and 12L has resolved most if not all of the bugs. and if you want to go one step further, install the new Derpfest ROM that was just released yesterday. Its nothing short of amazing.

I can't really tell what you're saying because your grammar is so completely wrong, but I do get the general impression that you're complaining about the camera?
1) ALL camera software receives the image data through the SAME HAL, and it is in the HAL where a lot of the image work is performed.
2) Post-processing should NOT be done during shooting. The whole point of POST processing is that its done AFTER in order to tweak the image based on what you need to get out of it.
3) Ever image I've ever received from an apple user has looked like GARBAGE.
