Reviews for the Coolpad Cool 5
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
The Coolpad Cool 5 looked like a good contender on paper, but in reality, it was quite disappointing. At around this same price, the Redmi 8 (Review) or even the Realme 3i (Review) would be better options to buy. The Type-C port and compact size are probably this phone's only redeeming points, but it falls short in pretty much every other area. Battery life is just average, the cameras are very disappointing, and the overall performance of the Helio P22 is not great.

The Coolpad Cool 5 is a good-looking device with more-than-decent battery backup and processor -- even though it can't run heavy games that well. But in any case, not many budget smartphones can. Where it really falters is camera quality. Although it'd be unfair to expect top-notch camera from a budget smartphone, Cool 5's competitors, like Redmi 8A and Realme 5, perform much better in this respect. In the age of social media that we live in, this would be a big disadvantage for Coolpad.

The Coolpad Cool 5 is a fairly good looking device and does most of the basic things right. While it is not the ideal phone for running heavy graphic games such as PUBG Mobile and may not be great with the cameras, it is also not very expensive. However, one must also consider other smartphones such as Redmi 8 before making a purchase.

The Coolpad Cool 5 is priced at Rs.7,999 and the device comes with a USB Type-C port and 4 GB of RAM. If you are someone who just wants a smartphone to do the basic tasks then the Coolpad Cool 5 does the job well. If you don’t care about the brand you can also check out smartphones like Xiaomi Redmi 7 and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 as they offer better specs and fall in the same price segment.

Coolpad Cool 5 is a decent smartphone in this price range. But for Rs 7,999, you have better options available in the market in the form of Redmi 8 which comes with better chipset, more battery and more. Then there is Infnix S5 which is Rs 1,000 costlier but it comes with quad-camera rear camera and 32MP selfie camera.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
