LeEco, formerly known as LeTV, is making its mark on the hardware arena with its newest endeavor. The Chinese tech giant is entering the set-top box market with its very own box, which has been dubbed “Le Box.” The new device has already made headlines in the tech world as it has been revealed as the latest offering from LeEco. As the name suggests, the Le Box is a set-top box, meaning it is a device that connects to a TV to access content from multiple sources.
What makes Le Box distinct from other set-top boxes on the market is the fact that it is designed with Android TV in mind. This means that users of this device can take advantage of the many applications that are available through the Google Play store, as well as direct access to content from multiple sources, such as Netflix, Hulu, and more. In addition to being an entryway into streaming media services like Netfilx and Hulu, the device also provides access to a library of other services, like Amazon Instant Video, Google Music, and over 80 Chinese online video sites.
In addition to the content library, Le Box boasts some impressive hardware specs as well. It is powered by a quad-core Cortex-A17 processor, and includes 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. It also supports 4K video playback, both on its own display as well as that of the connected TV. This makes it a great option for those looking to upgrade their entertainment setup. Furthermore, the device comes with dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and features an open library of over 1,000 games.
LeEco is no stranger to creating innovative products, having already ventured into the smartphone market as well as the production of smart televisions. However, with this latest device, the company has set out to create something that stands out among other set-top boxes. This focus on innovation is something that LeEco’s CEO, Jia Yueting, is particularly excited about.
“LeEco’s revolutionary Le Box is a powerful device that enables users to access content from multiple sources,” he said. “By combining our engineering, software and content talents, we’ve created a comprehensive, comprehensive and comprehensive solution. With the launch of Le Box, we’re offering users the perfect solution for their entertainment needs.”
LeEco has also made sure to pay attention to the design of the box, as it is both small and lightweight, making it easy to mount to the back of most TVs. One of the biggest features is its remote, which can be used to control both the set-top box and the connected TV, so users can easily switch between content sources and applications. Furthermore, the remote includes a voice control button and a “Le Card” that provides shortcuts to various content sources.
With LeEco’s entry into the hardware arena, the competition for streaming set-top boxes is heating up. However, the company is confident that its set-top box will be able to stand out among the competition, as it is designed with innovation in mind. It will be interesting to see how LeEco’s Le Box compares to other devices on the market, and if it will be able to capture a sizable share of the streaming set-top box market.
