LeEco launches first phone with Snapdragon 820 Smartphone. LeEco announced that their flagship LeEco Le Max Pro will go on sale starting 22nd February 2016, at MWC 2016. The device is ridiculously powerful, playing host to the Snapdragon 820 and with specs to match. The phone will be priced at 1,999RMB (INR Rs.21,000). This is the first Smartphone to launch with a Snapdragon 820 Processor. Xiaomi is also all set to launch their Xiaomi Mi5 on 25th February 2016, at MWC 2016.
