Because its back uses the brand new drawing metal process, we can tell Le Pro 3 easily by touching it, its surface polishing process brings the silky feel, which is more sleek than other metal surface. Le Pro 3 has also done some hidden design, such as speaker.

Although the bottom has two rows of resonant chamber, in fact only the right speaker can sound, the other speaker is placed at the top of receiver. So when you use speaker to play audios, you can feel the stereo audio effect obviously. This kind of audio design is similar to iPhone 7 released just now.
