The Le Max 2 is the flagship offering with a 5.7-inch QHD display, 2.1Ghz Snapdragon 820 SoC, an astounding 6GB of RAM, 64GB internal memory, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, Category 12 LTE, and a 3100mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.

The Le 2 and Le 2 Pro are aimed at the budget segment, but still manage to bring serious specs to the table. Both offer 5.5-inch Full HD displays, 32GB storage, 8MP front cameras and 3000mAh batteries. The standard Le 2 is powered by the 10-core MediaTek Helio X20 SoC, while the Le 2 Pro features the faster Helio X25, which also has a 10-core CPU consisting of two Cortex A72 cores and two variations of quad-core Cortex A53 CPUs.
