Summary
- The Coolpad Cool 12A features a 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, while the Sony Xperia XA Ultra has a slightly smaller 6.0-inch IPS LCD with a higher resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, resulting in better pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the Cool 12A is powered by a quad-core Spreadtrum chipset with 4GB RAM, whereas the Xperia XA Ultra utilizes an octa-core Mediatek Helio P10 with 3GB RAM, which may offer smoother multitasking.
- The camera capabilities also differ, with the Cool 12A having a 16 MP rear camera and an 8 MP selfie camera, compared to the XA Ultra's 21.5 MP rear and 16 MP front cameras, providing superior photography options.
- Battery capacity is another distinction, as the Cool 12A has a 4000 mAh battery, significantly larger than the XA Ultra's 2700 mAh.
- Both devices run on Android, but the XA Ultra is limited to an older version (upgradable to Nougat), while the Cool 12A's software experience is more current.
- Build quality shows the Cool 12A with a glass front and plastic frame, while the XA Ultra features a glass front and aluminum frame, which may provide a more premium feel.
