And of course don't forget :http://www.androidauthority.com/letv-announces-superphones-usb-c-600978/

Chinese smartphone manufacturer*LeTV*has just announced three new “Superphones” that will eventually make their way to the United States. Dubbed the Le Max, Le 1 Pro and Le 1, these budget-friendly handsets are the first smartphones to features*USB Type-C*charging ports.

ADVERTISEMENT

For starters, the Le Max*(pictured above) is the company’s flagship device, toting an aluminum chassis, a 6.33-inch quad HD display, a 2GHz*octa-core 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM,*64 or 128GB of internal storage,*a 21MP f/2.0 rear-facing camera with OIS and an UltraPixel front-facing camera. It also has a touch-based fingerprint scanner on the back, an IR blaster, a 3500mAh battery,*WirelessHD display link and dual LTE SIM support.

----------------------

Here are the world's first USB Type-C 'Superphones' from China

http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/14/letv-le-1-pro-max-superphone/

Following the*Nokia N1, the new*Chromebook*and the new*MacBook, who knew the world's first*USB Type-Csmartphones would come from a Chinese company? The brand in question is LeTV, who has today unveiled three new Android 5.0 "Superphones" that feature the reversible socket. The flagship aluminum Le Max (pictured above) is all about the absolute top specs: a 6.33-inch Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 810 chip (2GHz, octa-core, 64-bit), 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, a whopping 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, a 21-megapixel f/2.0 camera (with Sony's new*IMX230sensor, plus optical stabilization and dual-tone flash) and a bright*UltraPixel*selfie imager.

The Le Max also boasts an ESS Hi-Fi chip (with AKG's audio tuning), a one-touch fingerprint reader on the back, infrared remote, a 3,500 mAh battery, dual LTE SIM support and WirelessHD display link. But what really caught our attention were the design cues taken from the*iPhone 6 Plus*(especially the plastic bands),Huawei's Mate 7*(both front and back sides) and*HTC's One Max. The result doesn't look too bad, actually.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Yeah saw the Le Max too. Outstanding spec! Now I'm in dilemma!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Interesting find, thanks for that. However, I have never heard of Letv. Kind of a lame name, Engrish if you will. I mean one can throw all this crazy good hardware into a shell and call it a phone, but will the software etc be up to scratch?

I will reserve judgement until further notice :good:

Also:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
Lame name yes...but I think the real deal. CEO came from a long tenure leading designers at Huawei I believe.

Other thing is, for sure the Le Max will be released here.

Not so with the Huawei products. I love their 6"8 P8 but I pretty sure as with their Mediapad2 it won't have North American LTE capability on release. (although someone else disputed that on another forum so whatever).

I'm just glad options with comparable screen size are emerging!

LeTV (Leshi TV) is now being lead by a former Lenovo CEO. He saw this as an excellent opportunity to gain fast growing market share. I think he's onto something. They've already created an excellent buzz with their insane specs, transparency regarding cost price and the whole nazi comparison to Apple. Hate to say it lol, but the picture has almost become a meme overnight. Anyways, I hope they will release it through European retail stores as well, hopefully along with data plans/subscriptions. 500 bucks is nearly 500 Euro's these days, quite hefty still. I'd love to see a comparison of the Max, Mediapad X2 and the p8max :angel:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rathian:
huawei p8max looks like a real good competitor... after using sony... i'm beginning to look for phones with strict waterproofing capabilities...

the only thing thats left to try out is the OS... and most importantly is the AOSP support...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rockky:
Whoa sorry about that misinfo!

The LeTv 1Max and Huawei P8 are the most enticing things going right now!

Forst time we've had a chance to be excited about Sony replacements if need be. And the likely 6" Sony Ultra won't do for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Haha, that's alright :good: I'm really amped again, since a very long time. The last time was about two years ago with the release of our Z Ultra. For me the P8max, Mediapad X2 and Le Max are all worthy competitors. Not sure about what Sony has up its sleeve, maybe something, maybe nothing. 6" I find a downgrade, just like yourself. Can't wait for the first proper reviews of the three contenders .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Onecton:
The P8 Maxx could be another contender as a rival, still silly huge :D

i love how people look at me withe the ZU like, really thats his phone :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
I think many of us will end up with both phone or 3 phones if the Z4 Ultra ever comes. Lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
So true! I just received the Moccolo glass protectors for my Ultra to give it a "renewed" look while I wait. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
On Sony's page, they have a T Ultra out, guests this is the Z Ultra replacement.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
You mean a T2 Ultra? Because that is a midrange phone and not the ZU successor.

To those who are interested in the new LeTV phones, such as the Max, this is a new video where it's also compared to our ZU size wise. It is not fully edge to edge as shown in the renders, but to me personally it's close enough. It looks impressive, to say the least.

[YOUTUBE]i58jwxWcczM[/YOUTUBE]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
Yes, you are correct. Didn't realise that the T2 Ultra had only 8 GB of memory. Terrible. It came up ⤴ on the support page on Sony.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
The T2 is a very old device which I'm surprised that it only made it to the support page till now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
New video up of the LETV Max:

This retailer claims to be able to supply one in 7 to 14 days.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
The funny thing is that LETV doesn't even know the price yet of the Max, as they asked their customers for a fair price, believe it or not. We will still have to wait and that guy is asking

a crazy high price, as it will be significantly cheaper. However, I would be waiting for an international version, if there will ever be one. Otherwise the Mediapad X2 or the p8max will

be my next device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I should have put a disclaimer stating I didn't believe them. The person I spoke to on the phone said it would be shipped right out to me from overseas, but then added they couldn't offer refunds.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Ha, dangerous stuff. Wait it out, I'd say ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cashif:
Have been eagerly waiting for P8Max and was surprised to see LeTv Max also in presale in pompmall. But I feel for a Chinese brand, the prices are way too high (P8max- $859 in AliExpress & $799 in Honormi and LeTv Max $700 in pompmall) as I bought Huawei Ascend Mate for only $400 in India when it was launched in 2012. I know the phablets are getting launched with highest config but still prices charged are too high. So confused about P8Max, LeTv Max & Mediapad X2 (Leaning towards it once it gets rooted!)..

http://www.pompmall.com/letv-max-4g-lte-4gb-64gb.html
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Fully agree. Those shops are major opportunists who are asking WAY too much. They need to settle down. Also, the dollar price sucks compared to the Euro these days, so there isn't any extra 'discount' for me. The Max should cost $500 max, but preferably cheaper. They are a no name brand, so they need to prove themselves first. Also, the Huwei P8 and the P8Max will drop swiftly in price and Huawei has established itself internationally.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
Some reviews:

(anybody speak Italian? ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtlxxPBWUkg

(gaming) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBoenTbeYMU

http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mwc_2015-review-1216p2.php

Seems that a lot of people in Italia got the phones because a lot more reviews from there.

Benchmarks AnTuTu:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1MokMdWowQ

XIAOMI Mi ( running the Snapdragon 801 ) got 46685.

Mediapad M2: 50272 score. About 1/5 better then the Snapdragon 800 in the Z Ultra ( it does around 40.000 ). Not bad... The ZU is already plenty fast ( and can still easily keep up with the high end phone's from today ).

Seen prices as low as 350€ for the 16GB version and 400€ for the 32GB version.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
A comparison in size and screen size:

Its bigger, especially in the side. But pay close attention to the bezel... Note the ZU was scalled to the size as on my screen.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/si...iaPad-X2,Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra/phones/9277,7883

You can calibrate it to match your phone and screen size to see the real effect.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Thanks so much for linking that nifty tool. I always wondered if something like it was out there and it turns out there is.

The p8max and the ZU are indeed almost identical, while the X2 is indeed wider, however a luscious 7" display...

Those prices are retail and expected to drop quite swiftly. The X2 is on the Italian and German Amazon website by the way.

Here's waiting to the first reviews of both the Max and the X2...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
The X1 is almost identical beyond a few enhancements. So if you want to see some reviews, the X2 actually a upgrade from the X1. So the X1 gives a very good indicator regarding screen, battery life etc ... And best of all ... you do not need a heat gun to replace the battery ( still a bit delicate operation but way more easy then the one's i viewed for the Sony Z Ultra, where you need to melt the glue ).

Frankly the 350€ price is really not a bad introduction price. Given how the Sony Z Ultra was way more expensive when introduced. Funny thing... the Sony Z Ultra is sold cheaper now second hand then the X1's. Even the new X1's are the same price as new Sony Z Ultra's. How strange that a Chinese phone holds its price better *lol*

Also ... a very strange thing. Several user / owner youtube videos for the X2 show 3GB + 16GB instead of the 2GB+16GB / 3GB+32GB combinations. It seems they are selling 3GB RAM versions with 16GB storage? Seems to me that they are actually selling one device and just disabling part of the flash?

X1 vs ZU:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlnJ-c8Cj-E
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Yeah, I figured that since the screen and the battery are identical (or so it seems). Interesting point regarding the swappable battery, sounds promising.

The ZU still offers a lot of bang for its buck, a really good CPU really, along with a good gpu and so on, can't be beaten in many respects, given the price.

I saw that at some Chinese websites that you can choose the amount of memory and RAM, so perhaps that is the secret behind it.

I do have to say the power of the GPU in the X2 and the p8max kind of puts me off I have to say. Look at the horrible benchmarks in this test performed by Anandtech.

"It seems the MP4 configuration is too underpowerd to properly run 1080p content at optimal performance, its fillrate scores are quite poor and the GPU is even outperformed by architectures two generations behind."

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8425/huawei-honor-6-review/6
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
It uses Honor 6 as the test phone....does p8 max and x2 uses the same cpu and gpu as honor 6..?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Yes, the GPU is exactly the same (628 MP4), which is tested separately.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Woot! I saw that Oppo is launching the R7 plus, a 6-inch phone with a 1080p AMOLED display, 1.5GHz octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage plus microSD card slot, dual-nano SIM ports, 13-megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus, 8-megapixel front-facing camera, fingerprint scanner, Android 5.1 Lollipop and a massive 4100mAh battery with Oppo’s Rapid VOOC charging
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Wish it was 7" not 6". Cant go back in size :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
True, but the spec looks tempting except the processor.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] curiouso9:
not a rival if its not waterproof :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
I had an Honor x2(exactly the same as Mediapad x2). I sold it because it was too wide to be held comfortably for long periods of time. I have a Z Ultra and the two are not comparable. The Z Ultra is 100× more comfortable to use. The Honor x2 was very smooth, performance wise, but I'd go with the Z Ultra every time.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Thanks for the input. It all depends on the size of your hands though... How was the difference in display quality (sharpness/colors/black/white value)?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
I'm 5'11" with pretty big mitts. I had a Galaxy tab 4 7.0 LTE, it was much more comfortable to hold. The x2 being thinner is actually detrimental, because it puts all the strain on your fingers and none on the palm. As far as the display, I'd give it to the x2. In addition to it being superior in all the ways you asked about, it gets brighter and dimmer than the Z Ultra. Here's a few pics I took to show a friend. Sorry for the poor quality.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Silenced:
thanks for sharing. How does the phone work with T-Mobile? Just 3G?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
I got hspa+ on T-Mobile in Chicago(Unfortunately LTE bands are not compatible with T-Mobile). I had no problem streaming Netflix, browsing the web or anything else for that matter. If memory serves, I was getting the same speeds as LTE.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Sounds really good. Do you know whether the chrome looking trim around the screen (bezel) is either metal or plastic? I've heard it's metal. I would hate for it to be plastic, as that always fades pretty quickly.

Here's a new X2 video (in Vietnamese I believe), quite a long review and in really good video quality.

[YOUTUBE]Pm2KV67UFpE[/YOUTUBE]
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Truth be told, I don't recall 100%. I would have sworn it was plastic though.

Sent from my C6833
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
That's interesting to me, because that is totally different from what I've read before. Why did you think that, just curious?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Perhaps too many Samsung devices in my past. I just assume the worst.

Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-L09
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Got a point there. If only there was some confirmation from Huawei.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
That's an uphill battle. Sorry, wish I could remember.

Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-L09
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
The amount of extra screen content with only the 1 cm increase is actually surprising. Thanks for the pictures ...

But holding it is less of a problem if you have a protector case / screen protector around it ( they also make it better to grip ) as i noticed on my ZU.

Update:

Any chance of people posting a picture of the ZU with a comic open and the X2 with the same comic open? To see the different in landscape mode?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
I had a snap on hard case that was very slim. It only made things more uncomfortable for me. This is just my experience. Of course, your experience my differ from mine. In fact I hope it does, the x2 is an awesome device, just a bit to big for daily use for me.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Benjiro:
With a 810 CPU ... plenty of reports that even known brands have problems with overheating and that they are forced to "patch" ( aka install limitations on it to prevent overheating ). It may be fast but its not a typical custom Qualcomm design ( just a temporary default design because they did not have a internal 64bit solution ready in time ). And it shows ...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mingonn:
Interesting thread, I have a Mega 6.3 which I am looking to upgrade and was thinking of the Ultra. Was hoping there was going to be a new model soon. I have an MediaPad X1 4G but the reception signal strength was so pitiful I went back to my Mega. I hope they have improved the reception in the X2....

X1 was slippery as all hell, unusable without a case and very laggy but the battery life and screen were great. Was crying when I had to go back to the 6.3 Mega.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
All eyes on the Huawei P8 Max now since it's due to release this month.

P8 Max was released in last week of June and is now available for $590 in AliExpress.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vipfreak:
Why does everyone have to copy CrApple...?? Black please...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
I'm now on the P8 Max and it's fantastic. Updates are frequent and camera is very decent. It comes with lots of useful utility like per app permission, optimisation like Greenify that allows you to shut down apps that's taking up memory upon screen lock, etc. All these without needing to root.

Highly recommended for a upgrade to the z ultra.!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] schism78:
Me too. Best move I ever made.

Love this phone. Lte works here in australia too.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbeatle:
I seem to be another victim of this issue. I was attempting to update my recovery (TWRP 2.6 installed) on my Verizon S4 via TWRP's app. It failed, so I figured I might try it from recovery. I attempted to boot into recovery, but it is stuck at the Samsung "custom" screen and the blue "RECOVERY BOOTING......" text is in the top left corner. I can leave the device alone for several minutes and it never goes into recovery. It does get very hot though, and occasionally it will reboot on its own. If I hook it up to my PC and then put in the battery, it will vibrate as if it is going to boot, then it vibrates again in 3 seconds and does this endlessly with nothing coming up on the screen. Without being able to get into recovery or have my desktop recognize the device, I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas before I chuck this brick?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Are you able to get into download mode (volume down, home button, power)? If you're able to, the device is not bricked and, using Odin, you can update TWRP to 2.8.4.

I've found that the app isn't working all that well. For the last few updates I've had to use Odin to update TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbeatle:
Ah ha, you are correct. I actually tried a variation of this (I think with volume up?) but it just attempted to go into recovery again. At the download screen I just told the phone to boot into the OS and all seems well. I'll look into updating TWRP via Odin and see if I have any joy, but at least I have a working phone again. Thanks for the help.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
When you update, do NOT try to use TWRP 2.8.5.0. It's bugged on the S4. Use 2.8.4.0 instead.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbeatle:
Thanks, good advice!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbeatle:
Looks like my recovery is toast. Doing some research, I never used Odin as my phone had the old MDK baseband. Sites tell me not to use Odin, so I followed the instructions on TWRP's site using Terminal Emulator and 2.8.4.0: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/181 Everything seemed to go well, so I attempted to reboot into recovery, but now I get some warning/error about unauthorized software, turn off your phone and take it to Verizon, etc.

Sounds like I need to try again, but I'm not sure what my options are now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I didn't even see you had a Verizon S4 until you mentioned it. Verizon encrypts the bootloader as a matter of course, and thus installing TWRP is not possible. You should however be able to restore the official firmware with Odin, and from there, follow the root guides at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon to get yourself back up and running.
