After Lenovos recent K6 Note announcement, Coolpad and LeEcos joint effort, called the Cool 1 Dual, has made its way to India.The phone was announced back in August, soon after LeEcos CEO Jia Yueting took over as Chairman of Coolpad.The Cool 1 Dual retails for Rs.13,999 both online and offline.The online version will have 4GB of RAM while the one sold offline will have 3GB of RAM, but the rest of the specifications stay the same.
The phone will compete against the likes the Moto G4 Plus ( Review ) and Xiaomi Mi Max ( Review ), to name a few. While theres no one-size-fits-all in the world of tech, does the Cool 1 Dual manage to strike a good balance between pricing and features We find out. Coolpad Cool 1 Dual design and build The design isnt terribly original or inspiring to be honest, but the build quality is reassuring. The metal chassis feels sturdy and the matte finish doesnt attract many fingerprints. The Cool 1 Dual is a bit heavy and is on the thicker side at 8.2mm due to its large battery. Theres a 5.5-inch IPS display with a full-HD resolution. Unlike the many renders of this phone circulating on the Web, the display does not have a thin bezel. The panel itself offers good viewing angles, and colour reproduction and brightness levels are fairly adequate. Under harsh sunlight, the display can get washed out a bit but other than this, we didnt face any issues. You also get Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect it against scratches. There is a dual Nano-SIM tray on the left, but it isnt of the hybrid type so you cant expand onboard storage at all. This wouldnt have been so bad if the Cool 1 Dual had 64GB of storage space, but 32GB might not be enough for some in the long run. Its a shame that there isnt any higher capacity option available either. The phone features a USB Type-C port at the bottom, along with the speaker grille. Theres a fingerprint sensor at the back, which is quick to authenticate you. The Cool 1 Dual is yet another phone in this price segment to sport dual rear cameras, the most recent one being the Lenovo Phab 2 Plus ( Review ). In the box, you get a screen guard, data cable, 10W power adaptor, SIM ejector, and instructions. Barring the generic looks of the Cool 1 Dual, the phone is built well and feels sturdy. We just wish there was a dedicated microSD card slot or at least a hybrid SIM slot to accommodate additional storage. Coolpad Cool 1 Dual specifications and features The Cool 1 Dual is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 SoC, which is the faster version of the one found in the Redmi Note 3 ( Review ), with two additional ARM Cortex-A72 cores.
