Lets start with the basic details needed for a normal customer like me. I bought this phone on 20th and it reached me today. So, I am writing my review with the things I needed to know before buying this. My friends have been using Coolpad ( on my suggestions) and finally I got this one for me. Lets consider point wise :
Camera - Camera is good. I turned off the lights of my room to check the flash. It captured absolutely stunning pic in dark with the flash. I am attaching the pic ( the green one with a navy blue trolley on the left) , this pic is taken with full lights off, and as can be seen, you will be misunderstood by the quality that lights are actually off. The front selfie camera is very good. The flash is really doing a good job in low light for selfie. Overall the camera is excellent.
Design & Weight- Attached the pics. Absolutely great design. The metallic look and feel will make us feel like a very high priced phone. Its weight is around 170gm which is good and it feels normal in hands. I won't saw its light weight but for a 5.5 phone, its weight is pretty descent. But, single hand use is also possible in an easy way without any problems. Design is Royal and gold color is awesome.
Performance- This is the part everyone wants to know. I as a customer had a doubt about Snapdragon 617 being heated up. As soon as I started and connected to wifi, it downloaded an update of around 30 mb, and asked to reboot to install it. After I did the reboot, the funny thing which happened is, in the notification bar it started optimizing apps, & it said Optimizing apps may lead to a fever ( Screenshot attached) . The phone did a small heat up but on completion of this optimization, it cooled down within a minute. I played some games, and music together and there is absolutely no lagging. There is some heating after around 30 minutes of rigorous gaming but that is tolerable. This phone has really optimized SD617 to produce no heating.
Fingerprint Scanner- Absolutely magic. It works within microseconds. The moment you touch, the moment this phone unlocks. Amazing on this part.
RAM and Storage - We get around 3.7 GB RAM available and while on standby around 1 GB is being used and u have around 2.7 GB free. Storage is 32 GB out of which the available storage is 22.5 GB.
Battery - Its good. Using it heavily for around an hour and only 10% has been drained so far.
CoolUI 8.0 - There are people telling that the UI is bad. I have used an iPhone and the UI is more or less similar. The Notification Centre and the Control Centre is awesome ( Screenshot attached) . U will love the UI and it has everything you need highly optimized to your needs.
Guys Overall, its an awesome phone. If you are thinking to buy this, you can certainly go for it without hesitation. U might be hesitating for brand. But it is really good and worth buy.
