News & Reviews:   LEAGOO Elite 1

LEAGOO Malaysia have officially launched their first Flagship store in Malaysia, revealing several new phones, promotions and plans for 2016 to go with it. The first LEAGOO Flagship store is located in Plaza Low Yat on the 1st floor, with various LEAGOO phones, devices and accessories on display and for sale. At the launch, the first 100 walk-in customers to the store got to buy a mix of feature phones like the LEAGOO C2 and smartphones like the Alfa 6 and Elite 1 for just RM9.90 each. Also launched with the store were the LEAGOO Alfa 6 at RM319 and the LEAGOO Alfa 8 for RM269.

Android users who have the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow patch can now make purchases (yes, purchase) with fingerprint authentication in the all new Google Play Store. This includes the LG Nexus 5X, Huawei’s Nexus 6P and Honor 7, the LEAGOO Elite 1, or basically any handset that’s getting the Marshmallow (see the complete list). The finger authentication is a part of the revamped Google Play Store, and it’s very likely to be more expansive than this feature is in iOS with many third-party program supports.

The LEAGOO Elite 1 also comes with official cases and covers and one of them is the mobile phone leather case cover. Featuring a brushed metal look on the back and side along with dotted front, the leather case adds on smart cover features and a bit more protection and style for the LEAGOO Elite 1 smartphone. Take a closer look at this official LEAGOO Elite 1 leather case with our unboxing and hands-on video in this article.

One of the latest value beating smartphones in Malaysia is the below RM1K priced LEAGOO Elite 1 with its full metal frame, fingerprint sensor, 16MP rear camera with dual LED flash, 13MP front camera with single LED flash and customizable SmartButton. We take a closer look at the RM999 priced Elite 1 with our hands-on video below along with a USB OTG flash memory drive test as well. Check out our hands-on video of the LEAGOO Elite 1 below.

The LEAGOO Elite 1 was recently revealed by LEAGOO Malaysia as their flagship smartphone for the Elite series. Priced at a value beating RM999, the Elite 1 features a full metal frame with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on both front and back for a tough yet premium looking smartphone. Considering that the previous LEAGOO Elite 4 unboxing revealed very generous additions, we assumed that LEAGOO would do the same with the Elite 1 but you can find out for yourself in our unboxing video in this article.
