Coolpad Cool Play 6 First Impressions, Coolpad Cool Play 6 first look

Chinese brand Coolpad has launched its Cool Play 6 smartphone in the Indian market. Its sale will start from September 4. The company says that it is trying to do something new in the affordable smartphone segment through Cool Play 6, especially by providing 6 GB RAM. Coolpad hopes that in the coming days other companies will also be forced to do something like this. Will this happen in the future? There is doubt on this at the moment. But it is certain that there has been a stir in the market regarding 6 GB RAM. The good thing is that on paper this phone is not weak in other departments as well. In this you will get metal unibody, big screen, two rear cameras, big battery and many more powerful features. We spent the last few days with this new smartphone of Coolpad. At first glance, this smartphone seemed like this to us…

After looking at Coolad Cool Play 6 for the first time, you will realize that it is quite similar to other products of Chinese companies. The imprint of LeEco Le Max 2 is clearly visible, although the edges on the back are more curved. There is no problem in holding this phone in one hand. To be honest, when holding this phone in the right hand, I realized that the thumb easily reaches the power button. And the same can be said about reaching the fingerprint sensor. The side borders of the screen are thin. But the top and bottom borders are very big which is a bit odd. Because in recent times phones with less bezels have been in trend.

The Cool Play 6 sports a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display, which is common at this price point. The panel produces vibrant colours, but it does seem oversaturated at times. It’s easy to see text and images under direct light.

Talking about the software, you will get the company’s new Journey UI based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Coolpad has expressed confidence to give Android Oreo update by the end of the year. The new Journey UI seemed smooth to us in the beginning. But after using the phone for a long time, we started feeling lag. You will find apps like UC Browser, Facebook, Amazon Shopping pre-installed, which you cannot remove.

Inside the body is an octa-core Snapdragon 653 processor. Along with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. You can also use a microSD card if you want, but due to the hybrid slot, you will have to forget about the second SIM card. There is support for 4G and VoLTE. The battery capacity is 4000mAh and Coolpad says that due to software optimization, its performance will be that of a 4500mAh battery.

Now let’s talk about the most important feature of Coolpad Cool Play 6. You will get two 13-megapixel sensors on the back. One sensor is RGB and the other is monochrome. Both cameras have F/2.0 aperture. The camera app has standard mode. You will be able to capture photos and videos with many types of effects. Its main feature is SLR mode in which you will be able to get depth of effect. During the time spent with the phone, we used the camera app a lot. Regarding the bokeh effect, we will say that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes the objects in the pictures come with full detail. But sometimes it gets blurred with surrounding.

Priced at Rs 14,999, the phone will compete against the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 which is the most popular handset in this price segment. We will soon come up with a review of the Coolpad Cool Play 6 which will discuss in detail about the general performance, camera and battery life of the handset.

Please note that Coolpad has borne the airfare and hotel expenses of our correspondent for the Dubai launch event of Coolpad Cool 6 Play.
