Comparisons Featuring Coolpad Cool Play 8
Short Review
- The Coolpad Cool Play 8 features a sleek design with dimensions of 155.5 x 74.8 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 177g, available in black and red.
- Its 6.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2246 pixels, providing a sharp pixel density of approximately 402 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and operates at a 60Hz refresh rate.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6750 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM, ensuring adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The camera setup includes a 16 MP primary sensor paired with a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery supports 10W charging but does not offer wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 8 (Oreo) with Cool UI 9, the software experience is straightforward but may lack the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and USB Type-C 2.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, but the device retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the Cool Play 8 presents a balanced set of specifications suitable for everyday use.
