With the mobile industry growing vastly especially when you have new comers coming all over and taking over some already well known mobile manufacturer, those were the days where we doubt any new brands as how reliable could they be compared to the famous ones? That’s when Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo came in and took their places as successful mobile phone manufacturers in Malaysia following their great specification smartphones with extremely affordable prices.
Now, there is another brand that soon most of you would be craving for which is LEAGOO, a very well known smartphone manufacturer from China is set to officially launch their set of smartphones in Malaysia on the 16th of September 2014 and without being extremely optimistic, they have a motto where it says ” Stylish, Practical, Affordable” which simply means they are targeting the Mid and Low end market instead of straight away putting their head on high end flagship devices. This is also a very smart move as not everyone would prefer a high end smartphone which could cost anything near to RM1000, so to cater customers with much lower budget, LEAGOO kick starts their campaign in Malaysia with four new models which are the LEAD 1, LEAD 2, LEAD 3, and LEAD 4.
LEAD 1
Lead 1 is their most expensive smartphone out of those other three that are set to be launched here in Malaysia. It costs RM699. Below are the specifications:-
OS: Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) CPU: 1.3GHz Quad Core CPU ( MTK6582 ) Display: 5.5 inch IPS, 1280*720 HD, OGS full lamination Camera: Rear camera 8MP Sony IMX219, autofocus / Front camera 3MP Memory: 1GB RAM / 8GB ROM Others: Bluetooth 4.0, Dual SIM Dual Standby, support GPS and WIFI Size: 156*76.8*6.9mm Weight: 145g Color: Black Price: RM699
Some of the highlight criteria of this smartphone is the 5mm thin metal frame, KitKat OS, 3MP selfie camera, and double tap to wake the screen.
LEAD 2
Their second most expensive smartphone, everything is similar except for the screen size/resolution and the dimensions of course.
OS: Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) CPU: 1.3GHz Quad Core CPU ( MTK6582 ) Display: 5.0 inch IPS, 960*540 QHD Camera: Rear camera 8MP Sony IMX219, autofocus / Front camera 3MP Memory: 1GB RAM / 8GB ROM Others: Bluetooth 4.0, Dual SIM Dual Standby, support GPS and WIFI Size: 145.3*71.2*6.9mm Weight: 135g Color: Black, White Price: RM499
LEAD 3
This one is much cheaper, with everything being similar except for the screen size/resolution, camera, RAM and ROM, and dimensions.

Lead 4
The cheapest among other, costs you only RM199, specifications are minimized for most of the parts, but for that price we usually don’t expect much right? Noticeable difference is the OS, JellyBean, different CPU, screen size/resolution, and lastly the dimension itself.
OS: Android 4.2 CPU: 1.0GHz Dual Core CPU Display: 4.0 inch LCD, 800*480 Camera: Rear camera 5MP / Front camera 2MP Memory: 512MB RAM / 4GB ROM Others: Bluetooth 3.0, Dual SIM Dual Standby, support GPS and WIFI Size: 122*63.5*9.5mm Weight: 115g Color: Black, White Price: RM199
We at TechSlack.COM tend to welcome smartphone manufacturers which are well known outside Malaysia as some of us could crave for a specific smartphone model from lets say LEAGOO itself but I am pretty sure we couldn’t even get an imported (AP ) set even for now. Now with the official launch in Malaysia, claiming warranty and service centers would be widely available depending on how great the response they get from we, Malaysians.
All the best to LEAGOO and the team with the hope of having more models to choose from in the near future. Who knows if pretty soon the higher end might reach our shores as well?
