The LeEco Le Pro 3 Elite is priced at CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs 16,400). The smartphone is available for purchase in China via company’s website.

Coming to the specifications, the Le Pro 3 Elite come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and not the Snapdragon 821 like Le Pro 3. The latest mobile lacks the NFC support as well. Rest of the specifications remain the same of both devices.
The LeEco Le Pro 3 Elite is a dual-SIM mobile running on EUI 5.8 which is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. The device features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display with 2.5D curved glass. The Snapdragon 820 processor on the device is paired with 4GB of RAM, Adreno 530 GPU, and 32GB of internal storage.
On the camera front, the LeEco Le Pro 3 Elite offers a 16MP primary rear camera with PDAF, f/2.0, HDR, slow-motion HD video at 120fps, 4K video recording at 30fps, HDR, and BSI CMOS sensor. Up front, it has an 8MP selfie snapper with 76.5-degree wide-angle lens and f/2.2 aperture.

Meanwhile, the LeEco Le Pro 3 features almost same set of features and specifications of the newly launched device; however, it boasts upgraded Snapdragon 821 processor clocked at 2.35GHz and NFC connectivity. Considering the processor changes, the Le Pro 3 is certainly a better option as it will offer better performance and the ease of NFC connectivity.
