Comparisons Featuring Coolpad Mega 5A
Short Review
- The Coolpad Mega 5A features a compact design with a gold finish, making it visually appealing.
- Its 5.45-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 295 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Spreadtrum SC9850K chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera with PDAF and a 5 MP front camera, capable of recording video at 1080p.
- A 2500 mAh battery powers the device, but it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The software runs on Android 8.1 (Oreo), offering a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
