Comparisons Featuring Coolpad Roar
Short Review
- The Coolpad Roar features a compact design with dimensions of 133 x 65.4 x 9 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 218 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset, with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali-400MP2 GPU, supported by 1GB of RAM.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, while the front-facing camera is a 2 MP sensor, suitable for basic photography.
- The 1800 mAh battery capacity offers limited longevity, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- Running on Android 5.1 Lollipop, the software experience is basic but functional.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers, but it includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Coolpad Roar serves as a straightforward, entry-level smartphone with essential features.
- Its build quality and performance are adequate for everyday tasks.
