LeEco Le 2: does this R3900 phone have a good camera? [Photos]

LeEco Le 2, smartphone

Aside from this week’s weird review unit issues, we really dig the LeEco Le 2 smartphone, being exclusive to Takealot.

At around R3900, you’re getting loads of bang for your buck, in the form of a powerful Snapdragon 652 chip, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a solid 1080p display. In saying so, bargain-priced handsets often falter in the camera department, so how does the Le 2 fare?

Well, it’s got a 16MP f/2.0 main camera and an 8MP selfie shooter. We’ve been using it for a few weeks, so here are a few samples for your perusal.

Low-light selfies are definitely doable, but expect oodles of noise and mushy details.

The Le 2 definitely needs several attempts and/or stepping back a bit for macro-type shots.

You can make out the details in the chalk (at least in the shade), while a pleasant, albeit slightly noisy blue sky is in the background.
