Le 1S comes with a full metal unibody design finished in golden color and comes with terrific build quality for a budget phone. The rear panel has 13MP rear camera, LED flash, fingerprint scanner and Letv branding. The front panel houses the 5.5 inches Full HD display, three capacitive touch buttons, 5MP front camera and sensors. The capacitive buttons are backlit. There is a black finishing on both sides of the display giving a feeling that the device has an edge to edge display. There is also a metal band running around the sides and it has chamfered edges. At 169 gms, the Le 1S is not the lightest of the devices, but definitely great to use.
The right side houses the power and the volume keys and the SIM tray is positioned on the left side. The top houses the IR blaster and 3.5mm audio jack while the bottom portion has US C Type port and speaker grill. Overall, for a device priced Rs 10999, this is exceptional build quality.
The phone has 5.5 inches Full HD display and the colors look pretty vibrant and viewing angles are also quite good. The touch response is also very good.
