Review: LEAGOO’s Shark 1 Phone

Do you know hat LEAGOO’s Shark 1 Phone was sold out in Singapore after the launch? I got a shocked! But fret not because it is not available at nearly 100 stores. For the full list on where to buy, please visit http://www.leagoo.com.sg/where-to-buy

The design of the box looks premium and luxurious but for me, it is leaning a little towards the heavy side. However, for a phone with 6300 mAh Lithium-Polymer Battery, I think the weight is acceptable. The battery is ale equipped with a 3A fast charge technology, delivering the best battery performance to date. Know why? Because all you need is to charge the phone for 30 minutes and you can use the phone for the entire day even though it is a Full HD 6″inch screen with a resolution of up to 1980 x 1080.

If you really need to know, 1 full charge supports more than 770 hours of standby time or 72 hours of general usage. Like the ASUS ZenFone Max, which I had previously reviewed, you can also use Shark 1 as a powerbank if required.

When I tore away the layer of stickers on the phone, I noticed that the phone itself is already equipped with a screen protector! How convenient is that!





Like any other phone, it comes with a charger and a set of earphones.





Even though the phone itself is a little heavy, the width is rather slim which makes it easy to slide in and out of the pocket.








Other than talking about the battery life and size, you will be happy to know that Shark 1 runs on the latest 64-bit 1.3GHz octal core processor which includes a 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM. Extra memory of up to 64GB can also be supported. Instead of just supporting 4G network, Shark 1 is also equipped with the latest Android Lollipop 5.1 and supports Dual SIM.

I tried to switch between surfing the internet and watching videos over and over again to test if the system will lag a little but so far so good. Well, there isn’t anything much to complain when you have the best of both world. Shark 1 also uses the newest generation of fingerprint sensor which has unlock speed of 0.39 seconds. WOW.

The screen is also made with Corning 3rd Gorilla Glass and combined it with 2.5D process which makes the glass screen smooth and scratch-resistant. Sounds like you will still be safe without a screen protector! I don’t want to try dropping the phone for a review though. So no comment on that.

I also personally feel that the icons are neater and clearer as well. If you like loud ringtones like my parents, good news, the speaker is really loud.





Other than the speed of the operating system, camera plays an important role in my life. The rear camera features a 13MP BSI camera while the front carries a 5 megapixel with F2.0 large aperture.

As you can tell from James’ Instagram, he has been rather crazy about photo editing so he tested the camera PRO. It seems that he is extremely satisfied with the camera because he was able to adjust the settings. You can also find functions like beautification and other selfie options available. Oh, before I forget, the front camera has LED flash as well!








Overall, for a phone that has almost every function, $399 is worth every penny.
