Design comparison between Honor 5c and LeEco Le 2
The LeEco Le 2 seems like a sturdy device with the design because of the sharp edges and corners, while the Honor 5c has a much smoother back and curvy edges, but since both the phones have a metal body that makes them feel like premium ones, it is hard to decide on the best one because the design is more of a personal choice.
Also, because the Honor 5c has a smaller screen at 5.2-inch when compared to the 5.5-inch one on Le 2, one can easily hold it in the hand and use it with comfort.
Camera comparison between Honor 5c and LeEco Le 2
The camera is not always dependent on the specs. That statement surely holds true here because the 13-megapixel rear camera on the Honor 5c does a much better job than the 16-megapixel rear camera on the LeEco Le 2. The software optimization also helps in this and the color reproduction is great on the camera of Honor 5c.
For the front camera, both the phones fare quite the same and again, the beautification and software features are unique for both the phones.
One of the other factors where the LeEco Le 2 is ahead of the Honor 5c is the 4K video recording feature that is offered on the phone. The Honor 5c can record 1080p videos.

Which is the best phone among the two?
No perfect choice, to be fair to both the phones. LeEco Le 2 beats the Honor 5c with the performance while it is the other way around when it comes to camera performance. The LeEco Le 2 is priced Rs. 1000 higher but it offers the LeEco Membership for free for a year, in which there is a lot of content availability.
Also, although for the music enthusiasts the CDLA technology might be useful for a good audio quality, the absence of 3.5mm headset jack will be a factor in choosing against the Le 2 because while charging the phone, one cannot listen to the music.
