[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] I_Raptor_I:
If your concerned about speed on the Le Max 2, don't on the stock ROM speed is good enough for a heavy user, although if you want to ramp things up abit there are OC kernels (especially for SLIM7 ROM) which provide the same and even better performance than a snapdragon 821 , my friends stock Pixel XL could not keep up on any benchmark with the OC kernel.

The camera is one of the highlights of the phone, the sensor is very big with 21MP and a nice pixel size, if your looking purely at a hardware perspective the Le Max 2 has got the best camera, fact. Although on stock EUI Rom Leeco post processing degrades the image quality, the average user wont really notice this but if you are into taking pictures flash a Nougat or Oreo 8.1 ROM and download a modded Gcam 5.1 apk turn on HDR to get absolutely superb images, they are better then a Pixel XL no doubt, the detail is unrivalled (even my XZ premium cant hold that quality), if you want just ask me if you want some sample pictures, in my opinion this mixture between pixel size and mega pixels is perfect as it brings in a very healthy balance between the pixel size and megapixels, what I like most with the new BSG Google Cams is that you can tone down the noise to nothing and still attain pictures with the same detail as a Pixel XL as the Le Max 2 has much more MP to play with so the Pixel XL images have so much more noise while the Le Max 2 looks sharp and clean. So overall this camera sensor can take brilliant photos. Video I would say is just above average, the OIS is there but is not as good as the Pixel XL's EIS, although if you download the EUI 6 ROM and slap a modded Gcam on it the stabilization is the same as the one found on the Pixel XL, in terms on FPS, slo motion is not very good as the shutter speed has to go down alot and the resolution is not sharp enough, this is about average and the same goes for 1080p as it is caped at 30fps annoyingly (even though hardware wise it can achieve 60fps), 4K video actually looks pretty good but in low light there is alittle bit more noise rather than in a Pixel XL which isnt that bad. The front camera is 8MP with a giant pixel size although dont expect masterpieces on low light, in good light it looks impressive although the fixed focal point is not in the best place so some pictures may be abit blurry, but again slap HDR on the front camera and low light pictures look pretty good but the dynamic range does not really increase too much, overall the front and back cameras are very good.

The 1440p screen looks very nice with a nice contrast and colour accuracy on custom ROM's ( don't stay on EUI for its screen colours), although as it is an LCD panel in low light those blacks turn into a ugly grey colour and the contrast range does decrease abit, although this is on all LCD panels including the Le Pro 3. Overall the screen is brilliant in most conditions and to top that if you somehow break the screen it is so easy to fix and the screen and digitiser itself only costs around $19!

Battery life is a hard one, a heavy user like me gets around 3-4 hours SOT which is pretty good although I am on the SLIM7 optimised ROM, on stock EUI the battery life is horrible I was getting max 2.5 hours SOT, I am pretty sure while on custom ROMs the battery life is alright the Le pro 3 is much better. Although the fast charging is super fast and charges fully under an hour and thats with the stock charger and cables ( still got them and they are built very well ).
