This year, we have seen a couple of smartphone brands resume their business in Nepal after a long hiatus – Gionee and Tecno. And now, Coolpad has joined the list. The Chinese brand is back in the Nepali market with Coolpad 6. As of now, the availability of the device is limited to Nepal. Let’s learn more about Coolpad 6, along with its specifications, features, official price, and availability in Nepal.
Coolpad 6 Overview
Design and Display
Coolpad 6 features a 6.53-inch FHD display. The highlight of the device is that the screen is void of any kind of notches or cut-outs. Its predecessor, the Coolpad 5, on the other hand, featured a dew-drop notch. The front camera has been integrated into a pop-up mechanism. With this, the device promises an immersive viewing experience without any distraction.
The back panel of the device sports a gradient design. A pill-shaped camera bump on the top right corner houses the triple camera setup. It also features a mount for the physical fingerprint sensor. Coolpad 6 is available in two color options – Blue and Silver.
Performance and Memory
In terms of performance, the device packs in Helio P70 chipset. It’s an octa-core chipset from MediaTek with four Cortex A73 cores and four Cortex A53. It is certainly an upgrade to Helio P22 in the CoolPad 5. However, it’s already two years old and there are better mid-range chipsets now. At this price range, the company could have easily gone with the MediaTek Helio G-series chipset. Even the Helio G70 is available in much cheaper Realme C3 is more powerful thatn P70.
The device comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. You may not be able to play demanding games in the highest graphic settingson this device, but it will be enough for day to day tasks, light gaming and multitasking.
Camera
Coolpad 6 flaunts a triple camera setup at the back. It has some major upgrade in terms of megapixels compared to its predecessor. The setup is led by a 48MP camera setup. It is accompanied by two other 2MP sensors, which to our guess are for macro and portrait shots. It’s a bummer that the company could not accommodate an ultra-wide sensor in there. While the details about the setup are scarce, the device supports Night Mode, HDR, UHD, Pro, Panorama, and Intelligent scanning.
The 21MP selfie camera on the front is attached to a mechanical pop-up mechanism. Thus, it remains hidden from plain sight when not in the user. The selfie camera also comes with multiple modes lie the Night Mode, HDR, UHD, Pro Mode, Filters, and Beauty mode.
Rest of the specs
The device features a decent battery of 4,000mAh capacity. The company has not hinted anything about the fast charging support, which I think is a compulsory feature for devices with such a battery and price tag. For biometrics, there is a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the back of the device. We are expecting the device to ship with Android 10 as its predecessor came with Android 9.
