Design and build quality

Design and build quality

The LeEco Le 1s is quite a looker and there are no second thoughts about it. Its all-metal unibody is made of aircraft grade aluminum and the neatly chamfered edges only adds to its looks. Having said that, it would be slightly cumbersome to use for those who have shorter hands.

On the other side, Redmi Note 3 also has an all-metal body but, lags behind the Le 1s in terms of looks. This, by any means, is not to say that Xiaomi's handset doesn't look good but, it's just that its competitor looks better. However, what it lacks in looks makes up with the kind of comfort it provides while using it.

As far as the build quality is concerned, both the handsets feel sturdy in the hand.
