LeTV Super Phone 2 review: a small TV with mobile phone functions!

The performance of LeTV Super Phone 2 will give people a great shock, so here is the evaluation result. LeTV Super Phone 2 has a very good viewing experience, and the camera brings a decent photography experience. However, Helio X20 cannot provide a better gaming experience.

LeTV launched three second-generation super phones on April 20 this year. As an update to last year's LeTV super phone, it is not difficult to imagine that there will not be many changes in appearance.

In fact, this is true. The borderless front screen design is still the main feature, and the key layout and camera arrangement are roughly the same. LeTV Superphone 2 adds fingerprint recognition under the back camera, which is a change in appearance as well as a functional innovation.

The 5.5-inch screen is quite standard, with a borderless screen design. It looks good when the device is not turned on. But once it is turned on, the large black border still makes people's eyes dark. It seems that LeEco has no intention of improving the tradition of black borders. One can't help but ask, is this the so-called borderless screen?

Excellent viewing effect and long battery life

Objectively speaking, LeTV's screen is quite comfortable to use, and this 1080P screen with In-Cell screen processing technology has no parallax. The screen has an 80% NTSC color gamut, which makes the picture performance reach a satisfactory level.

These are particularly obvious when the video is playing. The overall refreshing and clean picture will give people a clearer feeling. This visual effect cannot be directly reflected in the data.

As we all know, under the LeTV ecosystem, LeTV has a large number of high-quality video resources, and the LeTV Superphone 2 equipped with the EUI system, especially integrates the LeTV video search interface on the main interface. Users can watch LeTV videos directly without installing additional apps.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the factor of improving users' viewing quality that LeTV Superphone 2 has put so much effort into the screen experience.

When it comes to movie-watching effects, sound experience is naturally an important part. CDAL is a full digital lossless music standard, which allows audio signals to be converted into analog signals without the need to avoid noise caused by interference. The use of Type-C headphones does bring a certain improvement in sound quality. Of course, comparing Type-C headphones that cost hundreds of yuan with ordinary headphones that cost tens of yuan may not be convincing. But at least, the Type-C headphone interface can encourage you to enjoy better sound quality, right?

During the movie watching process, several hours passed unknowingly, but I was surprised to find that the battery of the phone was still strong. Then I tested it. When the battery was fully charged, LeTV Super Phone 2 played 720P online video for 3 hours and 15 minutes continuously, and there was still 36% of the battery left. Then it was turned on at the highest brightness for 1 hour, and the battery was consumed to 29%. It can be said that LeTV Super Phone 2 did a very good job in standby.

The dynamic adjustment and fast charging technology of up to 24W significantly enhance the charging efficiency. Combined with the ultra-long battery life, it has to be said that LeTV Superphone 2 is very sincere in terms of battery.

Will the deca-core processor, which has a poor gaming experience, keep away advanced gamers?

From a pessimistic point of view, if God opens a window for you, then he will certainly close a door for you. For LeTV Super Phone 2, if the video experience is the window, then the game experience is the door.

When I first learned about this phone, I was shocked by the Helio X20 ten-core processor. Compared with the processors of other mobile phones of the same period, the Kirin 950 equipped in several Huawei phones only has eight cores.

This feeling was instantly ended when I saw the game running on LeTV Super Phone 2.

In the app store that comes with EUI, "Real Racing 3" is suggested to be unsuitable for running on LeTV Super Phone 2. This is a bit strange, because the Meizu M3, which was released at the same time and is equipped with MT6750 + 2GB RAM, can run "Real Racing 3" without any pressure.

So we chose Real Racing 3 as the content of the game performance evaluation. Also participating in the evaluation are Machinarium and Clash Royale.

The results are astonishing. The LeTV Super Phone 2, which has a Helio X20 deca-core processor, can run Clash Royale smoothly, but Real Racing 3 is obviously not smooth and stagnant. The performance of Machinarium is even worse, and almost every movement will be stuck.

Although Mali-T880 is not a GPU with commendable performance, Meizu M3 equipped with Mali-T860 is obviously even less noteworthy. Comparing the two, the performance in the game Real Racing 3 should calm down those users who pursue multi-core and new trends. At least in terms of gaming, Helio X20 does not perform well.

The advantages and disadvantages are clear. Is it worth the price of 1099?

Whether LeTV Super Phone 2 is worth buying is a matter of opinion. A colleague who likes black silk loli figurines has his own opinion. As a mobile phone user who likes to watch video animation, he usually plays mainstream casual games like Clash of Clans. In most cases, mobile phones are used to watch movies, use QQ and WeChat, etc. Under such usage requirements, the excellent visual experience brought by LeTV Super Phone 2 makes this colleague feel that it is quite cost-effective.

So, if you don’t use your phone to play high-consumption games, but have a need to watch movies on your phone, then this LeTV Super Phone 2 will definitely suit your taste.
