Design
- Well-built metal body, with good ergonomics, which makes a little bit easier to handle compared to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
- Premium looking, suave design
- Accurate fingerprint sensor
Display
- Delightful, sharp display with excellent color reproduction, and Gorilla Glass 4 protection
Software
- Leeco's eUI over Android is neat and uncluttered
Performance
- Sublime performance, powered by the Snapdragon 652 and 3GB of RAM, which put it right on top in this price bracket, along with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
Camera
- Camera is good, but not as good as the Moto G4 Plus, which is the top camera phone in this price bracket
Audio
- The Continual Digital Lossless Audio (CDLA) technology introduced with the phone uses the USB-C interface to drive audio tracks to headphones with more power, higher bit rate and lesser signal noise, thereby providing high resolution, nearly lossless audio
- You will need to use CDLA compliant USB-C headphones to actually derive the benefit of the lossless audio technology (instead of using standard jack headphones with the bundled USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter)
Battery
- Quick-charging battery
- Battery life is good, but not as good as it's top competitor - the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
- You will not be able to charge the phone at the same time as listening to music, which could be an inconvenience
More
- Leeco's content services are well integrated, and the free 1 year subscription is a pretty nice value-add
