Which is the better phone of the two?
There is no such winner in these two if we see what we require from our smartphone. The Le 2 seems much better on the paper if we are to consider not just the chipset but also the other specifications including the camera capacity and such, but the Lenovo K5 Note hits it with two very important aspects – storage and the battery capacity.
Although there is lesser internal storage on the K5 Note, it has a MicroSD card slot to expand the storage by a great extent, and this is not present on the LeEco Le 2. Also, the battery capacity on the K5 Note is higher.
To talk of a winner would depend on the requirements, and someone who is in to a lot of entertainment might want to go with the LeEco 2 because of the 1-year subscription to movies, music, cloud storage, and more.
