Now Coolpad has a third variant Coolpad Note 3 Plus Launch Has done This smartphone has been launched by the company at a price of Rs 8,999. Before the price cut The original price of Coolpad Note 3 was the same. This phone has little difference from the previous cooling note that makes it different from the old phone. Today we Coolpad Note 3 Plus Will review and learn about its merits and shortcomings.
Look and design
Two big differences can be clearly seen in Coolpad Note 3 and Note 3 Plus. The new Coolpad Note 3 Plus is slightly more heavy and has a full-HD screen while the Coolpad Note 3 had a 720×1280 pixel resolution screen. Apart from this, the Coolpad Note 3 Plus comes with new logo of coolpad but does not affect the second specification or feature of the phone. Apart from this, there is also no difference between Coolpad Note 3 Plus and Note 3.
The coolpad Note 3 Plus available at a price of Rs 8,999 is a great phone. The front of the phone looks quite good due to the edge-to-edge screen. However, a black border can be seen on both sides when viewed closely, but it does not have much effect. Additionally, the metallic strip (Champagne Gold in our review unit) present in the next part makes the phone more sharp and better.
Despite being made of plastic, the coolpad note 3 feels heavily felt when caught in the hand. Due to coming with a 5.5 inch screen, this phone is already in the phablet category but its extra weight also includes the phone in the phablet category. If you are fond of big screen then it is not bad to happen. Apart from this, the layout is similar to the previous phone, the power button on the right side, the volume button on the left, the top of the 3.5mm shock and the micro-USB port at the bottom. The rear has camera, flash and fingerprint sensors and speakers. Capacitive button is not backlit and it would have been better if these buttons were on-screen.
The biggest improvement in this new note of coolpad has been in the display. The Note 3 Plus has a 5.5-inch full-HD IPS screen, making it more sharp than the previous phone. Things like photos, videos and games can be seen with great experience in this display. However, it is not as bright and vibrant as we want. The color is slightly dull. But most of the devices in this price do not have a full-HD screen, so the screen of Note 3 Plus can be said to be much better.
Specification and software
Equality in Note 3 Plus and Note 3 continues here. The new device has exactly the same specifications as old phones. But, at the time of the review of Note 3, launched in October, this hardware could be called good, but now it seems a bit old. Most of the smartphones coming nowadays no longer the MediaTek MT6753 processor. Rather, smartphone makers are using new and more powerful MediaTek and Qualcomm processors instead.
As before, the coolpad Note 3 Plus has 3 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. In this smartphone coming with dual SIM support, storage can be increased (up to 64 GB) with the help of microSD card. The phone has a 3000 mAh battery. FDD-Band 3 and TDD-Band 40 support on 4G connectivity on both SIM slots. Specifications in this smartphone coming at a price of Rs 8,999 are quite good.
Coolpad Note 3 Plus runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop on which CooluI 6.0 is given. The phone uses exactly the same UI which was in Note 3. Due to poor translation from Chinese to English language, many words in the system are very strange and overall we found the entire interface cartoon. The interface is sing-lyrical but you can activate a ‘traditional’ mode that the interface switchs into a dual layer with a deadly app drawer. The interface works without any problem, but the skin does not appear polished.
Setting apps and testipation sheds also show chronicness. This phone also has a coolpad explore keyboard with Yahoo search and tracking integrated. If you are in the desire of a phone whose interface is very clear then the coolpad note 3 plus is not for you.
The fingerprint sensor is very accurate and works at just once on most occasions. You will be able to unlock the handset by placing your finger in any angle. Five fingerprint scanners can be stored in the handset. And it can also decide which fingerprints have to open the app, call and take photos.
Camera
Coolpad Note 3 Plus has a camera like the previous phone. The camera performance is also as expected. A 13-megapixel rear camera with a single-tone LED flash takes pictures of landscape and macrose with details in natural light. However, we realized that sharpness was low in the closeup shot. Pictures taken in indoor and low lights were high. Panorama is easily stitch and their quality is also good.
In good light, good pictures come from the camera. Looking on the phone, the photos look vibrant and sharp. But the pictures look scattered on the big screen and the color also gets dalled. But according to the price, the camera is good and the user who buy this price phone will like it. The 5 megapixel front camera is effective in taking selfies, but only in daylight.
You will be able to record 1080 pixels videos and their quality is fine. The camera app is the same as before and not very good and there is no option to change it. However, its interface is simple and easy to use.
Performance
However, this phone runs on the old MediaTek MT6753 processor, but the performance of the phone is fine. The phone runs well due to 3 GB RAM.
You will easily play games like Ski Safari 2 on it. The phone did not even have difficulty in running games like Dead Tiger 2. We did not have much problem in multitasking. 1.8 GB RAM is available all the time. While playing the game and working for a long time, the phone gets slightly hot but does not look uncomfortable to use. There is no problem while watching the video in the phone.
Note 3 Light Plus gave the same results in the benchmark test just like its previous phone. But the graphic figures were slightly bad due to high-government screens.
The battery capacity in the phone is low after upgrade on the full-HD screen. The 3000 mAh battery lasted 10 hours 12 minutes in our video loop test. During normal use, we were able to easily run the phone throughout the day. Call quality is good and we did not have any problem in 4G networks. The single speaker also brings good quality.
Our decision
There is nothing in the Coolpad Note 3 Plus smartphone to say that some new features have been included in the coolpad note series. It seems that the company has launched this product with the intention of introducing just a new product. This smartphone, which comes with a high-government screen and fingerprint sensor, will compete with a category less than Rs 10,000. But some customers may be disappointed with its peculiar interface.
Coolpad Note 3 Plus is a great package that has good features according to the price. The phone has a fine screen, magnificent camera and instant and accurate fingerprint sensor. However, despite all this, it is not the best handset in its segment. In such a situation, you have to decide which features and specifications you need more.
