Coolpad Cool Play 6 Specifications:

Regarding specifications, Coolpad Cool Play 6 sports a premium metal unibody design. It looks sleek with a 5.5-inch full HD IPS LCD display, 1920x1080 pixel resolution, and 403 ppi pixel density. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core 653 processor, it is coupled with Adreno 510 GPU for graphic performance.

The 6GB RAM and 4060mAh battery can help you play a lot of games without any lag in the performance. It has 64GB internal storage space and expandable with a microSD card. The flagship smartphone runs on the latest version of Android 7.1.1 Nougat with Coolpad’s Journey UI on top.

Cool Play 6 Dual Rear Camera:

The other USP of the Coolpad Cool Play 6 is its dual rear camera setup. The two 13-megapixel cameras with Sony sensors and dual-LED flash remind the depth of field effects of Huawei smartphones. It even allows the user to shoot a 4K resolution video. A remarkable feature at this low price!

On the front, there is an 8-megapixel camera with a f/2.2 aperture for selfies. Of course, you’ll have a quick unlocker in the form of a fingerprint scanner.

Like many flagship smartphones, Coolpad tried to incorporate the best features at this price segment which is a rarity.
