Coolpad is one of the selected smartphone manufacturer companies that have introduced a three SIM smartphone. We are talking Coolpad Mega 3 of. The funny thing is that its price is less than Rs 7,000. This means that there will be no problem for the company to give a separate identity to the handset in the competition filled with competition. On the other hand, low-price phones are usually cured in one or two cases. As a customer, you have to compromise in many departments.
It is worth noting that Mega 3 Coolpad Mega 2.5D It has been introduced a few days after launch. But the price of both is almost the same. Mega 2.5D was named on its curved-edge glass front and it seems that Mega 3 is named on a three SIM feature. Let’s try to know how the phone is in the rest of the department with this unique feature?
Coolpad Mega 3 Designs
This is a slightly bigger and thick phone. 170 grams will be considered as weighty. The shocking thing is that the coolpad is marketing this phone with low weight while it is a little weight than the common phone. It is a completely plastic body phone and the battery is removable. The texture is such that the phone easily sits in the palm. But the rear part does not give good feeling in the hands. It is not as easy to use with one hand, but it does not slip in the hands.
We got a white color variant for review. Curved glass has not been used like mega 2.5D. You will see a flash with the front camera. At the same time, Android navigation buttons will be seen in the lower back which are not backlit. The lower back is micro-USB port and 3.5mm audio socket top.
After removing the rear panel, you will see three micro-SIM slots. You will not be able to remove the battery. If you look carefully, you will see a microSD card slot at the bottom. This is a good thing, because these days dual SIM phones are also coming up with hybrid slots.
Overall texture as a budget phone is fine. This is not the best phone in appearance, but you have to compromise somewhere.
Coolpad Mega 3 Specification and Feature
The resolution of the 5.5 inch screen is 720×1280 pixels which is not bad at all. The good thing is that these days every budget phone comes with this resolution display. Sharpness and viewing angles are quite good. You will not have trouble watching the video. There will be some difficulty in reading on the screen in daylight.
MediaTek MT 6737 processor is not very powerful. The highest clock speed is 1.2 GHz. You will get 16 GB of storage with 2 GB RAM. You will be able to use microSD card up to 64 GB. The company has shown diligence in the case of battery. You will get a 3050 mAh battery. Perhaps the phone weighs over because of this.
Both camera sensors are of 8 megapics. In Coolpad Mega 3 you will find Wi-Fi A/B/G/N, Bluetooth, FM radio and GPS features. All three SIM slots are also equipped with 4G and voice over LTE features. It has a fingerprint sensor and is not supported for quick charging.
Talking about the software, the phone will run on the coolpad’s coolpad’s coolpad based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This phone of coolpad will get many apps in advance. Coolpad apps ask for a lot of permission, we believe it is excessive.
Coolpad Mega 3 Performance
Coolpad Mega 3 is not a bad phone from anywhere, but you will immediately realize that the phone is not very powerful. You will not be able to decide whether it is caused by a weak processor or weighty software.
However, there was no difficulty in playing the video. The display is large and sharp too. With its help, the fun of watching the video will be great. It is shocking that Asfault 8 did not have trouble walking. A phone speaker is not very good.
We never realized the phone being too hot. The vibrator of this phone is very lid and harsh.
There are 8 megapixel sensors on the front and rear panels. But there is a lot of difference in quality. The rear camera takes a good closeup shot in daylight. There was no shortage of details in them. However, the quality starts falling as the distance from the subject increases. You will be disappointed with the landscape shot. There was a shortage of details in them. The shots taken in the indoor were high. Photos taken at night came either completely black, or without details.
The front camera took a good selfie. However, Roshni also had an important role in it. You will be able to record videos with maximum 720 pixels resolution. Their quality was useable.
Battery life was excellent. The battery lasted 10 hours 11 minutes in the video loop test. In common use, it went on easily for a day. However, it took a long time to charge the battery.
Our decision
When it comes to a particular feature in a cheap phone, it usually means that the rest of the feature will be compromised. Coolpad Mega 2.5D had a look priority, but according to the performance, the phone lagged behind in every department. This time Coolpad has not only given unique features in Mega 3, but also has not been compromised in performance.
The camera performance may be better. The CPU is a bit weak. The software needs to be a little clean. But this is a budget phone, so we have not raised much expectations from it. On the other hand, display quality, battery life and design are good.
In this price, Mega 3 collides directly from Xiaomi Redmi 3S which has more powerful processor, better camera and big battery. If you are ready to spend a little more money, then you will be more satisfied with a phone with a range of Rs 8,999-9,999. However, in Mega 3 you will be able to use three SIMs simultaneously. If you like this feature very much, then there will be no problem in ignoring the remaining shortcomings.
