Le yea! LeEco’s new phones and TVs are finally on sale in the U.S.

Add as a preferred source on Google

LeEco put on quite a show the other week. From smart bicycles to a new smart car, the company certainly had a lot to show off when it detailed just how it would take over North America. Its first real-world offerings, however, are a little more low-key, and they consist of products people are actually in the market to buy: phones and TVs.

Well folks, those phones and TVs are now on sale, and you can snag some for yourself from the LeEco online store, called LeMall. The store is now offering a “flash sale,” which puts many of LeEco’s devices on sale with “instant rebates” of $100 or more, which will go towards “LeRewards” points — or points you can spend on other LeEco products.

“We’re delighted to bring our disruptive approach of delivering great content seamlessly to premium devices that are affordable for all to the U.S.,” sad Richard Ren, president of LeEco North America, in a statement. “We have many notable content partners today — such as Lionsgate Entertainment, MGM, Showtime, Vice Media, Awesomeness TV, A&E Network — and are quickly adding new partners based on user feedback in order to realize our content-first vision.”

Of course, those LeRewards don’t really help you if you only plan on buying one LeEco product — they don’t translate into cash back. Still, even without LeRewards the prices of these devices are pretty great. For example, the LeEco Le Pro 3 is a flagship-quality phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor — and it sells for only $399. That’s far cheaper than other phones with the same specs. Other products include the Le S3, which is a decidedly more midrange device that comes in at only $249, or $149 if the LeRewards mean anything to you. When it comes to TVs, prices range up from $1,399, although you’ll get at least $200 in LeRewards.

Google may finally ditch Samsung’s modem in the Pixel 11, and Tensor G6 could be better for it
FCC paperwork for Google’s next foldable points to MediaTek, raising hopes for lower power use and a cleaner break from Tensor’s Exynos roots

Google may be preparing its biggest Tensor hardware split yet. As spotted by Android Authority, FCC testing for an unreleased foldable Google phone includes a reference to MediaTek radio-frequency software, adding weight to reports that the Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 could leave Samsung’s Exynos modem behind.

Every previous Tensor chip has used Samsung modem hardware. Changing suppliers won’t guarantee better battery life or reception, but it gives Google a fresh path after years of leaning on the same underlying technology.

Apple’s iPhone Ultra could one-up the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a bigger battery
4,883mAh total capacity, two cells, and two screens drawing power. Somewhere between "fine" and "I hope Apple's software does the heavy lifting."
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple's foldable iPhone is getting closer to its September announcement. Despite rumors of a delay, a recent report claimed that Foxconn is hiring temporary workers to ramp up production of the Ultra. Now we have a number for one of its most important specs: the battery.

I'll be honest: when I saw the battery figure, my reaction was somewhere between "that works" and "I was hoping for more."

The next “flagship killer” is coming from Motorola, but it may not reach the US anytime soon.
The Motorola Edge 70 Max looks great on paper, but only India is getting it on July 15.

Motorola is building the most ambitious phone in its Edge 70 lineup, but it might not be available in the United States. 

Specs like a 7,000-nit display and MagSafe-style magnetic wireless charging belong in a conversation that often includes flagships, but it looks like Motorola wants to break that norm.
