Coolpad introduced an affordable metal phone with a great camera and terrible chipset dubbed as Coolpad Conjr at CES 2017. This new budget smartphone features some really impressive specs in the camera as well as memory departments but lets itself down with the display and the processor. It runs company’s own Cool UI 8.0 (based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow) and sports a 5-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) display.
Running inside is a MediaTek MT6735CP quad-core Cortex-A53 chip clocked at 1.0GHz. Assisting the processor are 3GB RAM and Mali-T720 GPU clocked at 450MHz. The camera details are particularly impressive, the main camera has a 13MP sensor and OIS, while the selfie cam has an 8MP sensor. Both cameras have LED flash and f/2.2 aperture. There’s even a fingerprint reader on the back. The device houses a 2500mAh battery. It is a dual-SIM phone with LTE connectivity (150Mbps). Connectivity options include 4G LTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS.
