Chinese smartphone manufacturer Coolpad, which launched Cool Play 8 a couple of days ago, has now announced that it will be launching three new smartphones in India tomorrow, i.e. on 20th December, under its Mega series.
The company has sent out a press release with an image teaser of the upcoming three phones, showing the front panel. All three devices in the image feature a traditional display without any kind of notch on top. The company’s last Mega-series smartphone in India was the Coolpad Mega 5A.
There’s sufficient bezel on the top and the bottom portion of the three displays, with no home button seen at the bottom. One smartphone unit is seen to sport capacitive buttons, while the other two presumably sport on-screen buttons.
As for the phone’s availability, Coolpad has already announced that all the upcoming three phones will be available for purchase exclusively through offline channels only.
Coolpad, like most other smartphone makers, decided to retreat from India’s competitive smartphone market last year. The company did not have any devices in the market for nearly a year but is now making a comeback.
After launching the Coolpad Note 8 in India last month for Rs. 9,999 (approximately $135), it is now set to expand its portfolio in India by launching three devices tomorrow. Similarly, Meizu also recently re-entered the Indian smartphone market with the launch of Meizu C9, Meizu 16th, and Meizu M9T.
Recently, Coolpad launched the Cool Play 8 in the Chinese market as a successor to the Cool Play 7C. The new smartphone features a massive 6.2-inch display but unlike the upcoming Mega-series phones, this one comes with a notched display.
The phone is powered by MediaTek’s MT6750 chipset along with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. There’s also microSD card slot which enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 128GB.
As for the photography, it comes with vertically-aligned dual camera setup featuring a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor and an 8-megapixel front-facing snapper for taking selfies. Coming to the software, it runs the Android with the company’s custom Cool UI 9.0 skin on top and is powered by a 4,000mAh battery. Priced at 999 Yuan, it will go on sale from 21st December.
