Chinese company la eco has its hands in a lot of things video streaming cars TVs and phones currently its marquee handset is the love pro 3 a 5.5 inch phone that features the latest Snapdragon 820 1 processor and a 16 megapixel camera the love pro 3 also has a big 4.0 7 ampere hour battery inside that's pretty hefty and during our lab tests for continuous video playback it lasted an average of 16 and a half hours that's longer than most flagships available right now except for the Samsung Galaxy s7 edge which lasted 19 hours and funnily enough the mid-range motorola moto z play which lasted 23 the love pro 3 does have its drawbacks though for instance its interface takes some getting used to the home button sometimes takes you to the loveyou newsfeed page you can't access settings through your notification shade and the recent apps menu is kind of a mess the echos video streaming service which is accessible here permanently on your home screen is also a bit of a mess while its quality casually browse clips from time to time it doesn't have anything I'd actually want to watch the phone isn't compatible with CDMA networks and oh there's no headphone jack so say hello to the dongle if you want to listen to music with your wired headphones given all this why would you want to buy a phone from an unknown company well that's because this one costs only $400 yeah fantastic high-end phones are known to exist like the $400 one plus three for example but usually phones like this cost $700 or more for those looking to save a lot of dough but want a powerful phone the LA Eco love pro 3 may be worth considering
