I would get the 829 unless you can find an 820 with more than 32gb of storage.
This place has really good prices
https://www.coolicool.com/cell-phones-t-289?filter_attr=0.0.0.0.0.12098.0.0.0.0

Depends where you live. If USA, get X829, if Europe or somewhere else, it's better to get the X820. The B20 is not working on X829 and until now nobody managed to make it work.
Also as I've noticed on the forum is that more users with X829 have issues with fingerprint sensor than users with X820.
The perfect buy would be X820 4/64 Grey IMHO.
Finally you should decide.
PS: Why not X720 Le Pro3?

dont buy it ..
go to Le pro 3 or leeco cool s1

It depends, the Le max 2 has a much better camera, display, gives more RAM and ROM for the price and the performance is literally 10% slower than the le pro 3 (so you would not see a massive performance lag between the devices, only if you look in the milliseconds which is not very noticeable to the human eye), also the le pro 3 does not have qfiles so if you hard brick it you can NOT revive the mobile and would have to send it for repair, which would take alot of time, this may be why the le max 2 is a much better option.

I have X829, got it last week , with 16s vendor rom, then I flash 19S Indian rom.
there is no issue in the phone, it is amazing and only 170 euro by banggood
also fingerprint sensor work fine.

The same was LeMax2 regarding QFIL files. When the phone was released, there were no files available, they surfaced later after few months (I've done the tutorial in November and the phone was released in May).
Pro3 has some advantages that you haven't mentioned: smaller screen (more pocketable), FHD (it's enough IMHO, and better for the battery and GPU), bigger battery, same RAM, slightly better processor, newer (let's assume that support will be better than LeMax2's as it has a US release). If I wouldn't care about the price, Pro3 would be my choice.

Yeah, I see where you are coming from , it just depends on the user. Also I think at this price point a lot of users would have price as one of their main factors of buying a mobile. My preference would have a larger crisper 2K screen (much better than FHD in VR and because you have no risk with bricking the mobile with no support currently you can easly root the mobile and change the resolution to 1080p to put less strain on the CPU and GPU, I think this is much better than FHD has you get the best of both worlds, VR and typical mobile gaming) , better camera and a lot more RAM and ROM for the price (6GB 128GB variant costed me $250 while the cheapest le pro 3 4GB 32GB variant is $260) and I wouldn't want to be waiting another 3+ months with a hard bricked mobile. And yes the battery on the le pro 3 is much better but for most users the battery time on the Le max 2 is sufficient enough and for still paying less you could buy a power bank. So right now I would still buy the le max 2, but definitely when those QFIL files come for the le pro 3 it would be very difficult to choose from.:good:

For X820 or X829 there are the same amount of ROMs, there is no difference between them. Gapps can be easily flashed on either, go for X820 if it's the same price.

Hello, on spemall store avaiable is x822 version to buy. What is the diference with x820 ?? Can I install CM13 LeMaX 2 TeaMSpaiN RevolutioN ROM on x822 version ??
I have googled all over and i can not seem to find the x822 specs. I suspect it could be an MTK cpu...but i could be wrong.
I think it just has different LTE bands all the other specs are the same with the x820, I am not sure though whether you'll be able to flash custom roms, but I can't see why not.

I also bought the X822 from spemall (very nice und fast transaction by the way). It is the same version as the x820, same specs (4GB RAM, Snapdragon820, 32GB ROM). I flashed TWRP, CM13, Cuoco etc. on it without any problem.
Everytime I flashed another ROM the versionumber changed between 822, 821 or 820, so I think this is maybe just color releated (grey, silver or golden).

Ok, thank you very much :good:. I also buy from spemall and this is my third phone from this store. I recommended it :laugh:
Recommend it
i bought one from spemall. the grey version. the 2 different features are 2.2GHz and radio. X822 has 2.2GHz . and X820 has 2.0GHz
The phone runs well . i recommend it . :good:
Hello, I too have taken this x822. Please would you be kind enough to show me how to install the recovery and which file. Because in my case twrp ask me password.
Thank you.
If the radio is different. can anyone confirm the bands of the x822? All the listings I see online have them sharing the exact same specs.
I also see sellers selling x822 a few dollars cheaper than x820 for same color and specs. Curious why... I have an x820 right now, but its the rose gold and I want to order the grey one, but I only see x822 versions of the grey. just want to make sure everything is the same.
x822, 2.2GHz instead of 2.15GHz and grey color, everything else - same.

Where did you find Grey version for 222$? And a strange thing about the x820/x822 discussion is that the x822 Pink is 5 bucks less on Aliexpress than the x820 Pink..

is the Le Max2 Good Phone in 260$ ??

Hello ..
I want to buy a new phone and my budget is almost 275$
Now Le Max 2 version 6gb Ram 64 Rom price is about 260$ in aliexpress
In your opinion, This phone is good at this price ?
Or there are other good phones at this price ?
How did you find the performance of this phone.. battery - camera - Finger Print .. etc
thank you

Possibly too late for the op, but the present Banggood price (~$190 with a certain discount code) is best for the 4+64Gb X829 model.
260 better add some money and get the le 3 pro. Or better x829 at 190 dollars.

MIUI 9
Very very pleased!!! - i want miui on this phone(((((
IIt would be nice to see it in some time but i dont think it is compatible yet. Even the battery administration can be a really big problem, for example.
Port from x720
Please port from leeco x720 pro3 - miui 9 v2...
Please, port from multirom Xiaomi mi5
Why do you guys want MIUI so badly? Someone ported a working LOS ROM on Oreo for this phone and you guys still want MIUI... you guys should've just bought Xiaomi phones then.

Yeah people are strange Xiaomi phones are cheap as chip like $200 or less. I got Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Sd625, it's decent. Battery 2-3 days for moderate use. They make good phones Wifi signal and everything work excellent. The stock OS is well optimized and everything flying. I also have Redmi4 sd625 32gb rom/3Gb ram, some of the things it does it's faster than Le Pro3 that how good Xiaomi optimize the phone. If you never buy Xiaomi you missing out on some good phones, not rip off charging so much for a piece of plastic like Sammy, Huawei, Apple etc

Whilst I agree with you about the virtues of Xiaomi devices ( Redmi note 2 here ) I don’t think even Xiaomi provides anything with this price/specs/hardware combination ( Don’t know how much it was at time of op , but now it’s $150 ) And I suppose if someone likes miui , and knows there’s a rom for x720 , it’s not such a stretch that they might ask for it on this device .

Well, the Mi5 does, but with less RAM, unless you choose the "Pro" edition. It lacks support for North American bands, though (1700 AWS), unlike the Pro3 Elite. But it has a slightly better screen, Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and a headphone jack. Oh, and NFC and an IR port and a barometer, of all things. But it's battery is smaller (3000mAh). It also gets updates, unlike the Pro3 Elite, but still costs more even though it's a year older. Otherwise specs wise they're both pretty much the same.
The best bargain out there would be the Pro3 standard variant with the Snapdragon 821 and NFC for $230 or even $300, but you'd never catch me paying $300 for an LeEco phone... too risky since hardware defects seem to be widespread. With Xiaomi phones, you pay a bit more and you get more support. Hardware tends to be decent, but not perfect. You'll still hear about screen issues, camera issues, and so on. Just look at the Mi A1 and its screen issues and headphone jack issues... QC is still lacking in China.
But then again, look at LG's horrible record. Three bootlooping phones in 1 year: LG V10, LG Nexus 5X, LG G4. Good luck getting those RMA'd, lol. And even the Nexus 6P has so many battery and bootloop issues. Even the Pixel 2 and Galaxy S8 Snapdragon variant have problems! The issue is with all Android OEMs. They pump too many phones out without quality checking them. It's something that will only be fixed as smartphones mature.

LeEco Pro 3 Elite X722 vs. LeEco Le Max 2

Has anyone had both of these phones in hand? Both can be purchased for the same price.
I have a rough idea of the positives and negatives of each model in my head. Does anyone else here have an opinion on which is the better phone overall?
I have also posted this to the LeEco Pro 3 community to try to get a better idea from owners of both phones.
Why not X720? The X722 does not share the same hardware as X720 and there is less development/support. Keep in mind that LeEco might never update any device in the future, so all lies with the good hearted developers.
If you live in Europe and you'll choose LeMax2, make sure it's the X820 and not the cheaper X829 due to Band20.
For me, the choice would be between X720 and X820.

Hey, thanks for you reply. I can get the X722 and X820 for the same price.
The X720 will be 45%-50% more for me.
Would you say that the X820 is the clear winner over the X722? I have to agree with you with regards to ROM development. There only seem to be ~3 active ROMs for the X722. The Le Max 2 seems to have a lot more active community.
The X722 is a niche device, so I would say it's not worth it.
I would go for the X820 in this case. It already has android 8.1. All credit goes to the excellent devs.
The only thing that might bother you is the fingerprint lottery. Many users claim it fails after a while. Mine is working for more than 1.5 years, but some report total breakdown of the fp even after few days of usage. If you can live without it, then just get it. I'd say a 50-50 chance.
I have both., X820 and X722.
1. Display - Le Max wins - super colors and ultrasharp, Le Pro looks much worse side to side.
2. Battery - Le Pro wins, lasts longer.
3. Custom ROMS - no winner. Indeed, there are not too many roms for LePro but in the end you need only one. I use AEX 7.1.2, stable, full features, no bugs noticed.
4. Sound - Le Pro wins - stereo speakers.
But my final suggestion is: if you don't care too much about battery life, buy Le Max 2. The display makes the real difference.
Heyyo, I would NOT RECOMMEND the Le Pro 3 Elite! It is NOT COMPATIBLE with Le Pro 3 custom ROMs as it uses the SD 821 and Le Pro 3 Elite uses the SD820!
There have been some community members messing about trying to get it working properly on LineageOS but it won't have as good of support as an actual Le Pro 3...
Same goes for that Le Pro 3 AI Edition which uses a MediaTek Helio X23. No kernel sources for that means no custom ROMs.
Isn't the x722 the pro elite. To be honest I just want a phone with the Google camera. So considering the Max 2 has better ROMs, would that be a better option to buy?
x722 is slowly getting ROMs, so it's an option I think. Le Max 2 has a good chance to have a dead FP out of the box, or the FP to die suddenly (like mine) and recover God knows when if it recovers (yes, by itself) at all. x722 is good if more developers start doing stuff for it, I see a good start.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...rom-lineage-os-14-1-x722-elite-based-t3705186
In my opinion, the Le Max 2 X820 is a better choice. Hardwear is the same in both Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530, RAM LPDDR4 and UFS 2.0, but the Le Max 2 has a much better display, the battery is smaller, but it loads very fast thanks to Quick Charge 3.0. The loudspeaker sounds very loud and good. There are plenty of ROMs to choose from. Thanks to the fact that the screen is flat, there is no problem with matching the tempered glass.
I recently bought the X820 6/64 version with the B20 band for 200 USD and I recommend it, I'm satisfied.

Excatly. For example I use X722 (Elite) with AICP and this is stable and no buggy ROM. There is a nice feature to use on - one can change saturation of colors under Live Display options - and X722 display does need it

Phone similar to LeMax 2

So the camera on my Le max 2 died, and was wondering if there's a phone that has similar specs/price as Le max 2. I mean LeMax2 is a great phone for about 200$ with a snapdragon 820 it's a steal.
Here's a "best of" list of SD820 phones - there might be something that you'd be interested in on it...
Also, the Le Max 2 is still available if you're willing to have one shipped from China.

Heyyo, tbh it's pretty darn cheap to get a replacement camera module.
If you check around the forums I'm sure you can find recommendations for new camera modules that others have bought to replace their cameras. :good:
Take a look at Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro.I don't know if its still available or not, but it has the same processor and last known price was $250-300.
ZUK Z2 Pro, ZTE Axon 7
I would recommend something with a Snapdragon 660 or even the new 710 series. The Smartisan Nut Pro 2 is an awesome phone.
