Metal has long been associated with premium high-end design and style on a mobile phone. However, metal body options in smartphones were only restricted to flagship phones but the trend is changing now. LeEco was the first to change this industry norm and disrupted the market with its flagship killer Le 1s.

LeEco's Le 1s Superphone flaunts a trendy full-metal body, which only few brands in the market worldwide offer. The metal uni-body is sturdy and is made from aircraft grade aluminum.

The metal design of the Le 1s not only enhances the looks but also strengthens signal receiving capability. With unique features the Le superphones have created new industry records and set new benchmarks for the Indian smartphone sector, having sold 200,000 superphones in just 30 days.

Under intense competition in the Indian smartphone market, LeEco has managed to stand out and won the hearts of many Indian users, with the breakthrough technology, comprehensive ecosystem and disruptive pricing lower than the industry BOM cost.

The phone offers compact size, which offers multipurpose uses with a heavy workload, the absence of a small fan or proper ventilation will cause the little processor to heat up in the extreme of cases.

Also, as the battery tries to support more resources, heating up will be the outcome. Given that the battery is located near the processor, as the phone is designed to accommodate a lot of hardware in a small case, it leaves less space for ventilation which could be ideal for cooling the system as is for example the case is for laptops.

It also offers excessive gaming while constantly playing games with heavy graphics, we put too much stress on the mother board of the smartphone and it pushes electronic inputs at a much faster rate. Playing a game requires a lot of resources from the phone and it represents the most obvious cause for overheating.

LeEco has also defined heat dispersion, wherein, if your phone is already overheating, take your case off. If your phone is hot, your case traps the heat. Taking the case off will allow the phone's heat vents to do their job fully without being blocked. This will help your phone cool down quicker.
