The Le 1s

The Le 1s is held together by a polished metal frame, not a single screw is in sight on the body so that means there’s probably a unibody build there. Perhaps the most impressive feature is that it can supposedly last for 3.5 hours worth of calling just after five minutes of charging. But that’s not the most jaw dropping news though, LeTV actually claimed to be selling each Le 1s at a loss because the materials all counts up to RMB 1310 (RM 880.44). 

Le 1s will be on retail online through LeMail and JD with the first 3 million units scheduled for sale on 3 November 2015. No news on Malaysia release dates but if you should spot it at third party sellers, this could be one smartphone to consider.
