Hey guys, this is my full review of the LeEco Letv Le1 Pro X800 (US version). At the moment I have a cold so sorry if my voice is a bit groggy. The brand/company was before called Letv but they recently changed their name to LeEco that stands for Le Ecosystem, as they now sell a lot of different products, not only smartphones.

The LeEco Letv Le1 Pro X800 is not anymore the newest device, in fact it has been on the market for some time. But recently the price dropped on this model to only €179.99 ($205). Before that it was priced 300-400 USD. So currently this may be one of the best phones you can get for a low price, because the build quality and hardware is very high and currently better than any other phone in the same priceclass.

In this video I also show you how to upgrade the US firmware that the phone comes with out of the box. The reason for that is that the stock ROM is not recommended as the browser and Youtube app is a bit buggy. After you have made the simple firmware update (shown in my video at time 5:06) these things will run 100% stable and fine and this phone can be 100% recommended.

Warning:
Do NOT flash the original Chinese Letv ROMs on the US variant as it will brick the device. If you have bricked it (dead, only found as Qualcomm HS-USB 9008) you can unbrick it using the info and downloads on my blog here http://s7yler.blogspot.de/2016/06/how-to-unbrick-us-version-of-letv-l1.html
