you may have heard of a company called lay echo because of a phone that they released earlier this year that was the first to have the snapdragon 820 while the ego is back with the follow-up on that flagship device but they're trying to be known for way more than just the processor in their phone it's Georgia fiqar from Android Authority what's going on everybody and this is the leaked au lait pro 3 essentially you start off with the smartphones and what we have here are two different smartphones one in the flagship space and the other one in the mid-range space but we'll take a look at the lip Pro 3 right now now it supports a 5.5 inch full HD display Qualcomm is powerful Snapdragon 801 that we've already seen in the Google pixel 4 gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of on-board storage a fingerprint reader on the back and a 16 megapixel camera it also has a sizable 4070 milliamp hour battery that LICO says will charge to 33% in just 20 minutes and also it does not sport a headphone jack instead it provides continual digital lossless audio quote unquote through its USB type-c port now holding the device in the hand there was one thing I couldn't get out of my mind this device looks like a 1+3 with a fingerprint scanner on it now that's not necessarily a bad thing it's still a nice and sleek looking device and with the metal construction that now is a glossy construction you have a pretty flashy device that feels nice and sturdy and pretty hefty in the hand the cameras do sound really promising especially with an 8 megapixel camera on the front but the camera app shows that it might be a somewhat simplistic experience of course we don't have any shots to be able to show you on the other hand you have the software which is vastly different as it usually is from these Chinese manufacturers in that this version of Android though it does come with all of the different bells and whistles that you would expect in an Android device it also comes with its own flavor of the launcher now you don't have a app drawer on here it is instead replaced by the late Evie ecosystem essentially it's a streaming service one of which that let go when they were known as late TV was very much known for after all the Eco now has streaming all over the place and there are billions of views on a number of their original dramas and you get access to that straight on this device hitting the live button on the bottom where the app drawer button would usually be takes you to the live streaming service where there are a number of different channels available that you can stream directly from and see all of their content but an extra function that's available here is the ability to shrink down that window so that you are watching the live streaming content in that little window that can float around and you can move it around so that it is always available no matter what you're doing on the phone by far however the best part about this device is that it will indeed disrupt a little bit of what we are used to now in even the mid-range space of Android because it will be coming in at 399 dollars but especially if you try to buy the phone on November 2nd and you sign up for the company's lei rewards program you can get the phone with a $100 instant rebate and get it for just 299 dollars now as it probably should have been everyone in the audience gasped when they heard this as it has been a while since we've had a phone at such a price point that sported some of the higher end specifications you would expect from a flagship device priced like a flagship now Lego also brought out their mid-range lei s3 and it will also be available in the lim all in the US for 249 dollars that is its starting price and there is an instant rebate involved there but of course the main story is the led pro 3 with its rebates the s3 comes with a 5.5 inch display as well a snapdragon 650 - processor instead and 3 gigabytes of RAM with 32 gigabytes of on-board storage and a 3000 milliamp hour battery many of its specifications are very much the same including the cameras and also the fact that it has a fingerprint reader on the back now this particular device even though it has a similar size actually feels a lot lighter than the low pro 3 and it has a non-glossy metal construction that kind of shines a little bit less than the low pro 3 and probably is not as much of a fingerprint bandit magnet now even though the s3 definitely feels like a mid-range device we have to give credit where credit is due and to the low pro 3 is probably one of those phones you want to look out for despite the fact that it might come with a different flavor of Android that we're not necessarily used to here in the US on top of that however if the camera seems to hold up and to the performance is top-notch as it probably should be being a flagship of its kind then that two hundred and $99 price point on November second and even three hundred ninety nine across is probably going to be a hot topic for you to consider in the end of 2016 so when we get our hands on a review unit keep it tuned here for our full review and remember that Android authority is your source for all things Android
