Most smartphone manufacturers in India focus on the budget segment. This is where the sales are in the sub-Rs 10,000 price point segment. This is why Xiaomi, Motorola, Nokia, Honor, etc. are paying attention. Coolpad has also paid great attention to this area in the past. But it fell silent after a while last year. Perhaps it is reworking its India strategy. Now in mid-2018, the company is making another foray into the mainstream smartphone market with the launch of the Coolpad Note 6 The phone was launched last month with a starting price of Rs 8,999.
The price is for the 32GB variant and the 64GB variant will cost an additional Rs 1,000 and comes with a price tag of Rs 9,999. The Coolpad Note 6 is the successor to last year’s Coolpad Note 5, which focused on design and a good display. We reviewed the Coolpad Note 5 and found it to be one of the best-looking smartphones in its price segment. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with the Coolpad Note 6. I ‘ve been using the phone for a week, and I can say that I don’t find any wow factor in the Note 6’s design. Instead, it’s a phone you can really like. Well, it’s called boring.
Coolpad Note 6 designLook away. It’s a boring phone, even with most other phones in this price range. As mentioned, the Note 6 has a basic design. From the front, the Note 6 looks just like the older Samsung Galaxy J series models. From the back , the Note 6 looks different, yet ordinary. It has a camera on the rear and an LED flash in the far left corner. This is an all-plastic phone, but just to add some style to the device, Coolpad cut the plastic in odd patterns around the camera module. This looks weird to me, although it’s a matter of taste. If the camera performs well, this is rarely a problem.
On the front, the Coolpad Note 6 comes with a fingerprint sensor, located just below the display. Almost all phones in this price range have fingerprint sensors, and most are capable of recognizing finger touches very well. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with the Coolpad Note 6. The fingerprint sensor in this phone misread it for me multiple times and most of the time I had to enter my passcode to unlock the phone.
Coolpad Note 6 screenThe Coolpad Note 6’s design is boring. How about the monitor? Good enough? Answer: Not too bad. There’s nothing outstanding about the Coolpad Note 6’s display. There are other similarly priced phones on the market that have much better, colorful displays than the Coolpad Note 6.
The smartphone features a 5.5-inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. On top of the display, the Coolpad Note 6 includes a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which is meant to protect the phone from scratches and other external damage. Coolpad should have put extra effort into the display, considering how important it is to a phone. Overall user experience.
The phone’s screen is dull. But there’s a bigger problem. I found that the display wasn’t bright enough. It’s very difficult to use your phone in bright sunlight. Even with the brightness level at maximum, I could barely see the screen. Pixel main camera and 5-megapixel secondary sensor capable of taking 120-degree wide-angle selfies. This is a handy feature for group clicking selfies. There’s also an additional fill light feature that helps you take better photos in low-light situations. While These features sound great, the actual performance doesn’t live up to the talk. In my experience, almost all selfies taken with the Coolpad Note 6 appear grainy and lack detail. This is done using two selfie cameras – the main camera and the wide -angle camera. Even in good lighting, the selfie camera is disappointing.
Coolpad Note 6 performanceThe smartphone is powered by a 1.4GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset and is paired with 4GB of RAM. Coolpad Note 6 comes in two models – one with 32GB internal storage and the other with 64GB storage. Overall, the Coolpad Note 6 is capable of handling day-to-day tasks, but can experience lag in certain situations. For example, it’s a bit difficult when you switch between open apps. Moving from one application to another takes a lot of time. Your phone can also slow down when too many apps are running in the background. Apps like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc. scroll very slowly. This clearly shows that Coolpad needs to work on the Note 6’s software optimization.
Overall, the Coolpad Note 6 struggles to handle multitasking. But surprisingly, the phone handles gaming well enough, although although you don’t have too many apps running in the background. The smartphone performed well while running games like Subway Surfers, Temple Run 2 , and even handled GPU-intensive games like Asphalt 8: Asphalt quite well.
The Note 6’s software is disappointing. The smartphone runs Android 7.1 Nougat and is customized with Journey UI. Android Nougat has been around for almost two years. The Coolpad Note 6 also comes with an outdated security patch (December 2017). Alas, when will Android phone companies realize that security is important? There’s no word yet on whether the Coolpad Note 6 will be upgraded to Oreo, let alone this year’s flagship version of Android, Android P. Android in the Note 6 has been heavily customized by Coolpad using Journey UI. The phone comes pre-installed with apps like UC Browser, Facebook, UC News, Prime Video, Amazon, Ola cab and more.
Coolpad Note 6 batterylifeThe battery is the best part of the Coolpad Note 6. When it launched the phone last month, Coolpad promised that the Note 6 would offer at least a full day of Coolpad Note battery life. After using this phone for a week, I can say that Coolpad delivers on its promises. Coolpad Note 6 comes with a large 4070mAh Coolpad Note 6 battery which the company claims can provide 350 hours of standby time. For me, the phone lasted close to 12 to 14 hours with rigorous usage, which is pretty good for a phone in this price range. If used properly, you will easily find that this phone has a battery life of 18 to 19 hours. Overall, I can say that the Coolpad Note 6 is an ideal choice for those who want a portable Android phone with long battery life.
Should you buy it?Before answering this question, please note this: the Coolpad Note 6 is an offline exclusive. The smartphone is currently available in over 300 retail stores in the country. So you can actually buy it, unlike most Xiaomi and Redmi phones which are rarely in stock .
