China’s LeEco sets out to shake up US consumer tech market

Finally, the LeEco Super Bike is a smart electric bicycle kitted out with laser lane markers, smart locks and a two-way radio, and the company’s self-driving electric auto, the LeSEE Pro, was also unveiled for the first time for a U.S. audience. Called LeSEE Pro, the development model is a self-driving electric auto with a steering wheel that retracts into the dashboard, giving drivers the experience of relaxing in their living room and watching movies while their vehicle barrels down the highway. It sprawled into multiple businesses including smartphones, TVs and cars. But Chief Executive Jia Yeuting said in an interview that only 100,000 phones would initially be available, and that he didn’t know how many smart TVs will be available by the launch date. The company’s extensive product range links together into a complete family of devices. All ecotvs also support Android TV and Google Cast technology. It also said that users can be able to save a lots of money if they buy the products with LeEco which provide the same configuration as that of Apple, Google.

Customers would have to buy the EcoPass to access their service, but the company will offer USA customers a three-month free trial. Le Pro 3 comes in two variants 4GB RAM with 32GB storage and 6GB RAM with 64GB storage.

Le Pro3 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, sports 16MP rear camera, 8MP front camera and houses 4,070 mAh battery. But the Chinese company also stunned the Beijing crowds with its own electric vehicle plans, highlighted by the LeSee autonomous electric auto concept. The processor comes with native VR support, providing a seamless performance with company’s own LeVR headset. Among the many products that’ll soon be available stateside is the Le Pro3, LeEco’s flagship smartphone. No announcements were made in regards to content that would be offered for the Explore VR.

The goal of LeEco’s eui (Ecosystem User Interface) is a seamless content experience across all connected devices.

Jia outlined a plan to win hearts and minds in the key North America market before moving to woo the rest of the world in the LeEco ecosystem. The company said there’s even voice communication between bikes, so you can talk to other riders in your group. They are funding the electric auto startup Faraday Future and building a $1 billion factory in the Nevada desert at the same time. As proof that the vehicle exists and is functional, they played a video of Michael Bay on the set of Transformers 5 with the auto saying he was just borrowing it for the time being. “It’s extremely ambitious to launch so soon in the US, but they are very committed to it”.

The LeEco cloud service was portrayed as a nervous-system of sorts that would connect the company’s various devices and be a conduit for digital content and services. The 55-inch TV costs $899 with 12-month free EcoPass membership and the 65-inch TV costs $1,399 with a 12-month free EcoPass membership. All of them are 4K panels with Android software.

The new UI is presented as the driving force in connecting all the devices the company makes or holds a stake. The Le S3 will also be available starting on November 2, and users can also get the same $100 rebate deal bringing its price down to $149.
