Letv Le Max Pro

Why should anyone care about yet another high-end smartphone? The Snapdragon 820. It's the latest Qualcomm mobile processor and the Le Max Pro is the first phone it'll appear in. Why is that a big deal? In short, the 820 should be faster and deliver longer battery life, but there are other reasons as well.

Large and in charge, the Le Max Pro will houses a 6.33-inch screen with a 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution. That works out to 464 pixels-per-inch, which is really sharp for a phone this size or pretty much any size.

The Le Max Pro includes a 3,400mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0 technology, which indicates that not only will it last long, it also won't take long to charge.

Like the Nexus 6P, the fingerprint sensor is located on the rear and will hopefully be just as fast as the one on the 6P.

Letv is relatively unknown outside of China. That could soon change.

Letv Le Max Pro

Like I said it's a big'un. Don't expect it to fit completely in your front pockets.
