The last time we covered LeEco GSMArena it was early last year when the company went back to releasing some TWS wireless earbuds. Following some financial troubles several years ago, the company hadn’t released smartphones under the LeEco, nor Letv brands. That is about to change with the Letv Y1 Pro. This device isn’t impressive at all, but it could signal a new competitor in the smartphone industry.
The Letv Y1 Pro looks pretty much exactly like an iPhone 13, in terms of design, with a very low price tag. Starting at CNY 499 (around $ 75), the Y1 Pro is powered by a low-end Unisoc T310. It has 1 ARM Cortex-A75 core clocked at 2GHz and 3x ARM Cortex-A55 clocked at 1.8GHz and this SoC only supports 4G networks. It is paired with 4GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage and dedicated microSD card slot.
There is a 6.54-inch LCD screen here with an HD + resolution of 720 x 1560 px. The device weighs approximately 208g and measures 164.3 x 77.7 x 9.5mm. There is no built-in fingerprint scanner, but face unlock is supported via Android 11. It has a 5MP front camera and on the primary dual camera is an 8MP sensor with a secondary AI lens, presumably a depth sensor . The 4,000 mAh battery charges via USB-C.
The Y1 Pro is available in Star White, Midnight Black and Star Blue models. While the 4GB + 32GB entry-level model starts at CNY 499 (~ $ 75), the 4GB + 128GB variant works for CNY 699 and the 4GB + 256GB version will run CNY 899. of around $ 108 and $ 135. The Y1 Pro is only available in the Chinese market, but we’ll be watching to see if the brand ever starts shipping to other markets.
