Here's everything LeEco announced at its big event today

LeEco, a Chinese consumer tech firm determined to shake up the industry, has set its sights on the US market. To help it make a splash, LeEco held a big launch event in San Francisco today, talking up a bevy of devices and services aimed at grabbing consumers' imaginations. 

Did LeEco pull it off? Well, let's just say it certainly didn't show up empty handed, unveiling and teasing goods in nearly every product category. Here's a look at everything the tech upstart announced. 

New phones for the US

LeEco is releasing handsets to the US market for the first time ever. The Le Pro3 will be its first phone here, and the Android device boasts curved edges, a brushed metal finish and polished look. 

Its Snapdragon 821 processor matches the one inside the Google Pixel, plus the Le Pro3 features a 5.5-inch display and 16MP rear camera. There's also 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage inside the slender phone. Interestingly enough, the Le Pro3 lacks a headphone jack, just like the iPhone 7.

Powered by a huge 4070mAh battery, the Le Pro3 is designed to last for hours of talk, streaming and music playback. 

The best part of this solid-sounding phone, though, may be its $399 (about £325, AU$520) price. That's significantly cheaper than the $649 (£599, AU$1,079) tag attached to the Google Pixel, plus you can knock another $100 off as part of the LeRewards program. The Le Pro3 launches in the US on November 2.

Next up is the mid-tier Le S3. Also home to a 5.5-inch screen, the phone comes with 32GB of storage, a Snapdragon 652 processor, 8MP front camera and 16MP rear camera, and a fingerprint scanner. The device, set to retail for $249 (about £205, AU$325) , also features a 3,000mAh juicer and can capture 4K UHD and slo-mo video. Not too shabby, right?

A virtual reality headset

Though details were light, LeEco intends to bring its ExploreVR headset to the US. 

The headset looks like a futuristic mashup between a Samsung Gear VR and PlayStation VR, and it will be powered thanks to the Le Pro3's Snapdragon processor. 

There aren't any straps on the headset, though the memory foam is supposed to contour your head so it stays secure, but we'll see how successful it is at preventing slippage

There's no word on key details like pricing or availability, though we wouldn't be surprised if it releases on November 2, the same day as the company's flagship phone.

New televisions and a streaming service

LeEco is known as the "Netflix of China", so it's no surprise the company use its US debut to launch new TVs and a video streaming service. 

Among the highlights is the uMax85, a mosnter 85-inch 4K TV that supports both types of HDR - Dolby Vision and HDR10 - and rocks speakers co-developed with Harman Kardon. 

The firm also intends to bring three different versions of its Super4 TV series stateside – the X43 Pro, X55 and the X65, all of which will support 4K.

The uMax85 is expected to retail for $4,999 (about £4,000/AU$6,500). That's steep, to say the least, so LeEco is bringing down the price for its other screens. The X43 Pro comes in at $649 (about £530/AU$840) while the X55 and X65  will retail for $899 (about £730/AU$1,165) and $1,399 (about  £1,140/AU$1,800), respectively. 

LeEco also announced LeEco Live, a new streaming service that will bring content from such heavy hitters as MGM, Lionsgate, Vice, Showtime, Sling and Magnolia Pictures. There will also be content from networks like the Food Network, the History Channel, Esquire and A&E.

No pricing for LeEco Live was announced, though there's a strong change it will come with "disruptive pricing", i.e. cheaper than Netflix. 

Super bikes

Yes, LeEco showed off some super bikes, and while they pretty much look like regular bikes, they're also souped up with Android support. Unfortunately, they're not launching in the US, LeEco told us at the event.

The 30-speed shift bike has on-board lighting, a fingerprint scanner and location tracker, should you ever misplace it (been there). 

Android comes into play on a 4-inch display located betwixt the handlebars. It's a shame the super bikes won't make it stateside - we could easily see zipping around on one of these bad boys.

A self-driving electric concept car

Though it disappointingly didn't make it to the event in time to drive out on stage for a grand unveiling, LeEco did talk up its self-driving electric car, called the LeSEE Pro.
