This r screen shots to prove the otg compatibility

2kurupt:


Howdy, you said you reside in PH too. Please can you refer me to a seller of the 1s around these paths?

Also I wanna know if this device got gorilla glass or a related protector since am divided between getting this & the Xiaomi note 3.

Well, I can't ascertain d gorilla glass of a thing cos I can't endeavour to do a drop test ,

I did order mine from AliExpress

write2obi:
Love the design, almost ordered for it, but when i called Lukmoore and he told me it has no sdcard and OTG, i lost interest. Xiaomi redmi note3 seems like a slightly better option.

It supports otg and it was proved, being a type C port, u need get the right otg flash for it, lukmoore got that wrong cos a lot of fake type c otg devices r out there, still difficult to get an authentic one, also, that's y the 32gb variant is an option to sdcard and it u ain't sure cos of the otg thing, I already contacted some stores cos of that, and I'll feedback when I eventually get a working one

How to install Google play store,

It can b done in 2 ways,

Method 1

Very simple and easy, search for Google installer apk online and download

Install like other apps then run, it'll notify the absence of Google play service, click "ok", then it'll bring a list of Google Apps required, download and install all except Google play store, then reboot your phone, open Google installer again, and install playstore, then launch, probably it might pop up a message saying Google play service is out of date "update", then reboot again, u now have Google playstore up and running

Pro : root isn't required neither do u need a custom recovery

Con : you would loose ur playstore anytime you factory reset your phone, meaning you'll have to start the installation all over again.

puskin:


Awwwwwh....my sweet phone......Letv 1S ..........but there shall be no dropping of any form of contact details in here.

Not a must, and that's y the clause "if interested" was included

lukmoore:
i found rooting guide for the phone but i couldn't figure-out how to copy files to the root of the phone using adb.

Adb driver is meant for ur fone to b recognised by ur pc, u install Adb on ur pc by so doing enabling commands and instructions to b sent to d fone via pc and vise versa

For those interested in the stock ROM, here's the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?gyhzhb1pa3pkucy

D link to download the unofficial but with multilingual and no Ota support: http://www.mediafire.com/?j1qur21814hm0lb



How to install official stock ROM :

Download the zip file from the first link above, rename to update.zip

Place in root of memory of phone

Switch off phone

Boot into recovery by pressing volume down and power button simultaneously, do not release until u c the boot animation,

Check on clear data, this also checks system update and clear data

Click start, and wait till fone reboots

Yeah! You on on official stock ROM with access to OTA.

Eghosa1:


070 595 89 222.. Anyone interested, I can sure hook them up and answer a few questions. I currently use the device and perhaps I and Iliyande are to first to get it in NG.

Good, I just added u guys to the newly created what sap group for our lovely fone where we can share ideas

Youngpo413:
No playstore?then what is the alternative?

I get it installed and also get updates to ur rom unlike the international version that has ps but no update.

I already gv a brief explanation about the 2 roms but if need more, kindly ask, I'll b highly happy to respond,

samintegrity:
I was about paying for this on aliexpress, not until I discovered doller isnt too favorable, I dont hav much so will go for the 3gb ram/16gig rom ,.

Now am following this thread and would love to know how the battery fairs upon usage, also does it get heated up while using? And pls on a daily usage, browsing with H+ and of cos being online all through, how many hrs are we looking at before phone shut down?

I have watched close to 10 of its review videos on YouTube.

Yes, dollar isn't favorable, thanks to Nigeria economy, I already made my order b4 I observed dollar wasn't my friend,

Nontheless, I believe you'll get all u want on this thread, and thank goodness we already have users available and more r to come, an more will also buy, this is a phone we will regret not buying

I think dis is an opportunity for me to explain the 2 types of rom that r available for this device.

Letv le 1s is being manufactured to thrive in China only and built with a lollipop version of Android (5.0.2) to b precise modified by the company to EUI 5.5, only supports 2 languages, that is English and Chinese and also doesn't have play store pre-installed like the xiaomis running MIUI, but due to international acceptance, they decide to make another version of rom which supports more languages with playstore also pre-installed but lacks OTA support and also some features r missing on this ROM, e.g the IR blaster and the QR Scanner.

But in Android world, nothing is impossible, u can get playstore running on the stock version of the rom and also get updates anytime it's available.

Still interested in the what's app group, kindly drop ur number here.

Have a lovely day guys.

samintegrity:


Does it come pre installed with the stock rom or the one with playstore? Or users are the ones to flash the rom with playstore?

D stock rom has no playstore pre-installed but u get updates to the Rom unlike the internal version with app drawer button

greenhulk:
Phone looks good with impressive specs. The name though, letv le 1s lol

Yeah the name but interesting, Letv is one of the largest media company in China, digression into phone manufacturing will b a plus for them.

lukmoore:
one with playstore

Y not go for the stock rom so u can get constant updates, I can put u thru on how to install Google play store on it

lukmoore:
I'm using the phone and i'm enjoying it.

Are u using the stock rom or the other rom with playstore, cos we all know the stock rom doesn't come with playstore

obosirow:
seen the phone online and watched detailed reviews on YouTube and its a well designed phone. One guy complained of the screen cracking on him thrice after it fell from a table height...hmm-mm, so disappointing, when compared to other phone of not too high in spec.
I was at computer village today and from my observation, the phone design is the same with Huawei Mate7, Infinix Note 2 is also a copy of it. Huawei is more premium in design and sturdier than Infinix note 2. Letv is also premium in design and its basically the same phone as Huawei Mate 7.
After seeing the Mate 7 with it's spec sheet, it's a powerful phone and it's worth owning.

Great comment, though I just ordered mine but I already know what I'm buying

hey guys,

I just want to introduce us to one of the new smartphones in town, that's the Letv le 1s, "the le pronounced as lè"

Specification:

It it is a full HD 5.5" screen with thin bezel, though it still has black borders around the screen but that's almost available on all Chinese phones running lollipop.

Surpports dual Sim, dual standby

Also has fingerprint scanner on the back which supports 360° unlock in 0.5s, and it's mirrored which makes usable when using the rear camera for selfies, the fps is also serves as a button to take pictures.

It's has a 3gb of RAM to run applications and heavy games smoothly and a 32gb of ROM, and doesn't support external SD card,

It has a 13mp isocell Samsung rear camera and a 5mp front camera

It runs letv version of Android EUI, based on Android lollipop 5.0.2

It has a USB type C port which also supports OTG,

And also supports fast charge, hence the charger output is 9v/2.7A, and 5v/2A, and d phone is equipped with a whooping 3000mah nonremovable battery, which on normal usage should serve a day and for a heavy user would require a powerbank but 3000mah battery still worth it

Now to the chipset, it is equipped with one of the latest mediatek chipset mtk6795T(helio X10) clocked at 2.2ghz with GPU PowerVR G6200 @ 700Mhz, also with this chipset, the phone is capable of making slow motion recording and also 4k recording, also support mediatek copilot

All this enclosed in an aluminium chassis which gives the phone a premium look and feel and only cost between $170 and $210.

It's a phone worth buying.

I'll be giving u updates as we progress and how Google play store can also be installed, and if interested in joining our letv le 1s what's app group, kindly drop in mobile number.

Hmm MN, a good one

teelaweee:

My infinix zero already has a fault. Battery doesn't even get to last two hours on full charge anymore. I'm contemplating changing brands. Trying out another Chinese product. Maybe Tecno or Injoo

If u wanna change brand, I'll advice u enter China and get either xiaomi, elephine, Jiayu, meizu, lenovo, even do gee has a better product and cheaper compared to tecno, and as regards innjoo, they messed up with injoo fire, and I've been scared of their product after the experience with that series.

Pretty true, coupled with a small ppi.

Let's wait till 27th when d surprise will b unveiled

semasir:
A 6" phone to me isn't too large. I used tecno D9 with stress and coping or needed to adapt to my note pro

D bad side will b infinix putting a 720*1080 HD screen on a 6" screen

Frontier2:
Let's wait and see. But I know for sure is not coming with Fingerprint scanner from the pix I hav seen unless it's positioned elsewhere. Let's see if it can compete with the phantom 5

Don't expect that, aside, d Phantom 5 is a 40k fone which is overpriced.
