Vernee Apollo was unveiled just a couple of weeks ago with 6GB RAM, Vivo Xplay5 Elite is another similar device and the the latest entry is the just announced LeEco Le Max 2.
Le Max 2 has a huge 5.7-inch screen with QHD resolution (1,440 x 2,560px). The device has Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 onboard and it comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This works behind LeEco’s custom UI, EUI 5.5.
Storage options starts at 32GB and there’s a 64GB version. However, you should be aware that the 32GB version has 4GB RAM and it’s the 64GB version that comes with 6GB RAM. There’s a 21MP rear camera with Sony IMX230 sensor. This is equipped with optical image stabilization and has f/2.0 aperture.
A fingerprint sensor is at the back and this device is powered by a 3100mAh capacity battery. USB Type-C connectivity is adopted on this device and you won’t find the regular 3.5mm earphone jack. This is has been replaced the Type-C port.
