The LeTV Le 1s is the fourth smartphone in their lineup having released the Le 1, Le 1 Pro and the Le Max earlier this year.

The LeTV Le 1s went on sale yesterday in China for 1,099 Yuan or about $173. Given its specific price point, the smartphone is impressive as it comes with high-end specs and a premium look. The device is housed in a sleek Gold all-metal body with thin side bezels. It is 7.5 mm thick and weighs 169 grams.

There is also a fingerprint sensor located at the back. According to LeTV, it can recognize fingerprints in just 0.15 seconds.

The dual-SIM smartphone also comes with 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS connectivity. It is preloaded with the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS with LeTV's EUI 5.5 skin on top.

The Le 1s is backed up by a 3,000 mAh battery. The smartphone also features a USB Type-C port with fast charge technology.

LeTV has announced previously that it has plans to enter the U.S. market. In response to a query on its Facebook page, the company had this to say, "Please stay tuned ... We'll have more on our U.S. roadmap soon." Hopefully, LeTV will be able to bring the impressive Le 1s smartphone to U.S. consumers.
