Details and Impressions
Cool 1 is the best mid range phone being offered at this price. It has bigger battery, superior camera, powerful processing and lots of features. Users won’t be able to add external SD card with this one. It is actually capable to shoot at 4K which is impressive because mid range phone don’t have such luxury.
Coolpad is already working in 5G and they were working with 4G way before, so obviously all these phones are 4G. We also get Dual SIM support for all these phones. Cool 1 also has Fast Charging with fingerprint sensor.
These are pretty great phones and the price is also within Nepali budget. We wish a succesful journey to JIPL and Coolpad. Most people will compare Indian cost and Nepali cost. The reason is import cost, TAX and market size. They have good products and if they focus and pricing better, they can certainly gain good market
