Hello,
I was wondering what do you guys think about this phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/leeco_cool1_dual-8272.php
I couldn't find anything anywhere except couple of rewievs on youtube.
It has ok camera, ok specification and good price(170 usd on geekbuying),32gb internal storage is not problem :)
I'm just not so sure about aftermarket rom support, because phone is not so popular.
Or could you recommend me anything under 200 usd that has fhd(max 5.5 inch), min 3gb ram, good battery, good camera and usb typ-c (I don't want micro usb because after one year of use it always start loosing connection,..). People are saying Xiaomi note 4 pro is downgrade from note 3 pro and note pro have worst camera, is expensive,but yes aesthetically better loking.
Thank you all in advance

I acquired a Leeco Cool1 at this week, I researched a lot and I came to the conclusion that this is the best device in this price range.
Lack of support from the developer community, I only found a few Italian forums with some tips...

This phone is awesome. 17s firmware is rock solid stable but you will have to manually install gapps and disable chinese apps.
The chances of android 7 are really low. There are instructions for flashing etc. at 4pda.ru but you need to translate from russian.
Anyway it is the best phone under 200$. Stable 8-10 hours of screen time (2 days of active use), nice photos at daytime and best in low light. For a low budget phone ofc.
At latest firmware leeco added electronic stabilization, but looks like they only did it for 4k. 1080p and 720p uses variable framerate and sometimes it drops to 9fps. And 10mins of 4k is 3gb. Without possibility to expand memory it is really dull.
Video is the only controversial part of the phone.
Otherwise it has great camera, great battery, nice screen, and is capable of playing graphics heavy games. Absolutely best value for your money

Great phone, available for fantastic price right now, but lacks good ROM.
How about ROMs from LeRee Le 3 ? They're exactly same phones, do ROMs for LeRee work on Cool 1?

Russians did even find a way of enabling LTE B20 band on LeRee, so I wonder if it works here too.
Question is, which Cool 1 is it equivalent of: C103, or C106?

EDIT: Found this:

LeRee Le 3 ROM if anyone is up for trying.

Which roms is this one?
All the details here:
http://www.leeco.re/topic/2588-leree-le-3russian-cool1-rom/

There's 4PDA refrence link in there and in 4PDA they claim it's from C106, so looks like theire LeRee L3 is Cool 1 C-106.
It says it works on other Cool1 models too - that's all I can understand - my Russian is rusty already.

Here's English google translation of 4PDA website:

Quick update - guys on my local forum started using the ROM already.

Installation is the easiest - in most cases it will work as a manually pointed update from the Update app in the Settings menu. You only need to place update.zip file with the ROM in the ROOT folder on the phone's memory.

It's the only official ROM with multi-language support and OTA working !!
