Which is a better phone with overall features?
When we talk about all the features together, surely the better phone of the two seems to be the LeEco Le 2. If it wasn’t with the battery capacity and the MicroSD card slot for storage expansion, the Le 2 excels in every other department.
Not just the specifications but even with the inclusion of the LeEco Membership for 1 year, the Le 2 seems like a good one because you don’t need to have any full-year memberships for music, videos, and live TV viewing.
The camera combination is also a good one, with the 16MP + 8MP cameras on Le 2 being quite better than the 13MP + 5MP cameras on the Galaxy J5 2016. But if we talk of the quality, it is a confusion one again. The captures taken from the back camera of Le 2 are not as good as the ones from J5 2016.
So, depending on what you need and expect from the smartphones, you will have your own favorite. Though, for us, the LeEco Le 2 takes away the title.
