COOLPAD DAZEN 1 - THE BIG REVIEW
Chinese
smartphone maker Coolpad has entered the Indian market. Coolpad has made its entry into the
largest growing smartphone market with 2 phones for different price segments,
the dazen 1 and the dazen X7. After Xiaomi and Yu, it is now Coolpad’s turn to
have its share of attention from consumers looking to buy a decent smartphone
at Rs 5,999.
PROCESSOR
Coolpad Dazen 1 runs
on a 64-bit 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 CPU with Adreno 306 GPU,
2GB RAM, 8GB ROM with support for up to 32GB micro SD cards. Overall, the
device is quite smooth. The dual sim phone supports 3G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0
and GPS connectivity options. It supports both Indian 4G bands.
DISPLAY
& DESIGN
The smartphone features a 5-inch 720p HD
display at 320 ppi pixel density. The display is clear and crisp. The phone's
body is 141.00 mm high, 71.50 mm wide, and has a depth of 9.30 mm, 4.5% thicker
than an average smartphone in the 4.6 - 5.0 inch screen range. With a weight of
155 grams, its weight is about average for a smartphone of its size. This
device's battery is larger than typical for its size, which also gives it some
extra weight. The Dazen 1 is a well-built device. It feels solid in the hand. Rather,
it would be better if it had Corning Gorilla Glass protection.
CAMERA
The phone has an 8MP rear camera equipped
with 5 pieces lens and f/2.2 aperture and a 5MP front camera with 22mm wide
angle lens. It also has beauty features to enhance photos.
SOFTWARE
It runs Android 4.4 Kit Kat and features a
customized skin called Cool UI. The UI is very similar to the one found on other
Chinese phones and doesn't include a separate app drawer. Lag is not
experienced with this phone at all.
MEMORY
The Dazen 1 comes with a 2GB RAM, the phone
comes with 8GB storage expandable up to 32GB via micro SD card.
BATTERY
It is powered by a big 2,500 mAh battery.

PRICE
Coolpad dazen 1 is
priced at Rs. 5,999/- and will be available through Snapdeal only.
The company has launched its 1st smartphone in
the incredibly hot 7000 Rs. price segment. It has good features at its price.
Better battery backup was needed. It will directly compete with the likes of Xiaomi
Redmi 2 or Yu Yuphoria. The consumers will be happy looking at the battle of
these smartphone giants as it shall only lead to lower prices.
