When LeEco announced the Le Pro3 and Le S3 the company talked about a program called User Planning to User (UP2U). LeEco’s goal with this program was to take user feedback and implement changes to make devices even better. Now, months after the phones were first released, LeEco is finally pushing out an update with performance improvements and new features…

This week’s 9to5Rewards partner is LeEco, who just launched its line of smartphones, TVs, and bikes in the United States for the first time last year. Today, the company has offered to give away an LeEco Le Pro3 “ecophone” (as the company calls them) to three of our loyal 9to5Google readers.
LeEco, a Chinese technology company that is trying to break into the U.S. market by offering higher-end devices at affordable prices, is now expanding their retail availability to some of the country’s biggest retailers: Best Buy, Target, and Amazon. They’re also sweetening the deal by partnering with AT&T to offer customers free access to DirecTV Now, the company’s brand new content streaming service.
While most U.S. consumers have never heard of LeEco before, the company’s presence overseas in the Asian market has been huge. It is so large in fact that they have decided to bring their business to the U.S. market with the launch of the LeEco Le Pro3 with the mid-range price tag of $400.
LeEco isn’t the only company that is trying to bring high-end specced phones to the market at reasonable prices. Companies such as OnePlus and Huawei have been doing that too with marginal success.
Now that we are at the tail end of 2016, we can compare the newcomer that is the Le Pro3 to the competition. While LeEco has introduced some nice hardware with the Pro3, their skinned version of Marshmallow called EUI (Ecosystem UI) is confusing at times and can be more of a hassle than something you would want in a new phone…
Last week LeEco announced that the Le Pro3 would be the company’s first flagship to come to the US market. As the phone does not go on sale until November 2 in LeEco’s online store, LeMall, we wanted to share a quick gallery of the brand new Ecosystem User Interface (EUI) and some of the stock applications that come preinstalled on the handset…
So we already had a pretty good idea of what LeEco was going to announce today thanks to a leak on its website earlier this month, but now have it all on the record. The event itself was full of buzzwords and marketing speak that all means close to nothing to most people. But sprinkled in, the Chinese company announced a slew of Android-powered products coming to the United States…
