LeEco Pro 3 powers through Geekbench with 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 821

28comments
We've heard quite a bit of info regarding LeEco's upcoming (Le) Pro 3 device, which is touted as an out-and-out powerhouse. In between trolling Apple on numerous occasions, the Chinese firm has been preparing to take the market by storm with the phablet, which could pack a huge 5,000 mAh battery to keep its Snapdragon 821 and 6 gigs of RAM running for a substantial amount of time. A new Geekbench posting seems to confirm that Qualcomm's new top-end mobile chipset will be on board, as well as the 6 GB of RAM.

What's actually rather amusing is that even though the SD-821 and 6 gigs of RAM may seem like overkill to some, the model outed by Geekbench is probably the entry level model of the Pro 3 series. If previous reports ring true, the fully-loaded model will arrive equipped with an eye-watering 8 GB RAM -- more than you might get with many laptops. 

The device mustered a single-core score of 2360 points and 6514 in multi-core testing. Set to run on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, the LeEco Pro 3's model number is noted as LEX720. This is the same model number as the so-called LeEco Le 2S Pro that clocked up a whopping 158,000 score on AnTuTu. Unless we're missing something, we can deduce that the Le 2S Pro and (Le) Pro 3 are the same handset. 

Up until it decided to make roots in Silicon Valley a few months, LeEco was just another fringe Chinese smartphone vendor. Having noted the sharp rises of many compatriots -- in particular the astronomical rise of Xiaomi -- LeEco apparently wants to make similar wavessplashes

The ambition is certainly there, and overkill or not, it would certainly be hard to ignore a device with a brand-new top-level chip and double the RAM of most flagships. Oh, and unlike other Monsters of Asia, LeEco's new Silicon Valley status means this one might actually launch Stateside.
