LeTV is a Chinese video hosting service like Youtube. He is only known in China alone. In 2010, Google services in China were blocked, which provided an incredible opportunity for the development of a native service. The entrepreneurs did not stop there. They stubbornly rushed to other industries, including the mobile device market.
To be honest, LeTV entered the mobile gadgets market not only with its own developments. It borrowed a bit from competitors like Xiaomi, Oukitel, Elephone and OnePlus. All of them offer top-end features to their gadgets with high-quality assembly and a nice price. This was the only chance for newcomers to enter an already filled market and find their niche there.
OnePlus released the only model that rocked the mobile market, and LeTV announced four models in 2015. The next year, two more came out from under his wing, and development continues. The following year, the company had an official website.
Unfortunately, not all models can be purchased in Russia. Most often, they are ordered online directly from China and their rating is quite high.
LeTV Le 1 X600
This model was "thrown" on the market in early spring 2015. Three modifications were presented at once. However, the debut turned out to be a failure. A significant part of the gadgets had to be returned for software revision, and the company was already ready for a full-fledged release by May 2015. Despite this, the entire batch on the online sale was sold out in four minutes. The official review of the model by the company representatives greatly influenced. The total number was about ten million copies.

LeTV one
This smartphone model turned out to be a bit fat. The width is about 10mm. Despite this, the weight of the gadget remains adequate and looks great.

LeTV Le 1S
By releasing this model, the manufacturer tried to work on the mistakes of previous models, but it did not work out very well. It was planned to make the One better, but it only turned out worse.
- The screen remains the same.
- Installed another processor MediaTek Helio X10, and its frequency increased and became more than 2 GHz.

LeTV advantages
This company continues to improve its mobile technologies. The latest smartphones come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage! Isn't that amazing? The fingerprint scanner has become ultrasonic. The camera has been improved, which is capable of shooting in 4K, etc. The main thing is that the price remains affordable.
LeTV continues to be a media company, making money from content. When the "hobby" for mobile technology develops into a professional activity, the price will undoubtedly rise. So hurry up!
