LEAGOO is a company that makes quality smartphones at affordable prices. Their devices have features that keep up and even surpass big name flagship devices from makers such as Samsung. Their latest launches include the LEAGOO S8 Pro and LEAGOO S8, both devices come with bezelless, 18.9 aspect ratio full screens. They squarely target the Samsung Galaxy S8 as their main rival.
LEAGOO S8 Pro
The LEAGOO S8 Pro has a SHARP 5.99’’ in-cell FHD+ display whose brightness output goes up to 450 nits, well above the 400 mark of most flagships out there. It also comes with 85% NTSC color gamut and clocks in at 403 pixels per inch. Round the back is a fingerprint reader that unlocks in 0.1 seconds and just below it is a rear dual camera 13.0MP + 5.0MP, the 5 MP sensor is Samsung-made while the other one comes from Omni Vision.
The body thickness is as slim as 7.9mm. Made by Zinc alloy with CNC technology, its body frame is surface-processed by abrasive blasting, offering most comfortable grip feelings and metal textures.
The glossy-finish rear cover with 3D curve craftsmanship bounces light rays to provide a stunning visual experience. The frame is seamlessly sealed and fitted in harmony with the screen and the rear cover delivering an elegant sense of craft and style.
LEAGOO S8 Pro comes with a LG-made high density 3050mAh battery that supports quick refills thanks to a 9V2A charger. Only 30mins charge is enough for one normal day use! Even better, you can save $50 to purchase LEAGOO S8 Pro on Banggood.com during the presale campaign, that is, you can buy it at $249.99 instead of $299.99.

In case you want something even more affordable, there is a mid-range full screen called the LEAGOO S8. It features 5.72 inch IPS with a resolution of 1440×720. The aspect ratio also comes in at 18:9 under a display created by SHARP. Under the hood, you will find the octa core Mediatek 6750T bundled with a Samsung made 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage.
