Coolpad and LeEco had teamed up to give birth to “Cool” brand by launching the Cool 1 smartphone in August 2016. Today, Coolpad has launched the Cool 2 as its successor phone. After launching the Le Pro 3 AI Edition, LeEco has not launched a single smartphone since it has encountered serious financial problems. There is no confirmation on whether LeEco could be involved in the launch of the Cool 2.

Coolpad Cool 2 Specifications and Features

The Coolpad Cool 2 has a sleek appeal since it features a metal unibody chassis that measures 154.7 x 73.3 x 9.0 and weighs around 160 grams. The IPX4 rating makes the phone resistant to water splashes. The rear side of the phone has u-shaped antenna bands running along the top and bottom edges. The fingerprint scanner also resides on the rear shell of the Cool 2. It can unlock the phone in 0.2 seconds.

The Cool 2 is yet another phone to arrive with the new full screen design as it features an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is fitted with a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display that produces HD+ resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. The screen is tucked under a layer of 2.5D curved glass.

The mid-range Cool 2 is driven by MediaTek MT6750 chipset that includes an octa-core processor that clocks at 1.5 GHz and Mali-T860 graphics. The SoC is supported by 4 GB of RAM. The device offers an inbuilt storage of 64 GB and it also features a microSD card slot for additional storage. It comes preinstalled with Android 7.0 Nougat OS. The Cool 2 receives power from 3,200mAh battery.

The Cool 2 has a vertical dual camera setup that includes a 13-megapixel main sensor that is assisted by 0.3-megapixel secondary sensor. The dual rear cameras can be used to shoot images with bokeh effect. The 8-megapixel front-facing camera can capture beautified selfies through AI. The front camera can be also used for facial recognition. The other features available on the phone include dual-SIM support, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0 and 3.5mm audio jack. The images of the phone suggest that it will be available in at least two color options of black with white front and blue with black front.

LeEco and CoolPad’s joint smartphone known as Cool 1 was launched a couple of hours ago, tagging along a premium body build and some amazing features. One of the stunning features is the dual camera set up at the rear with an amazing price tag starting at 1099 Yuan ($167).

We got hands on photos (courtesy of PCPOP) of the all-metal 5.5-inch  Cool1 flagship and the device looks nothing short of being classy. The Cool 1 presents a sturdy build with well-chamfered edges. This should make the device suitable for one-handed operation.

The display design features a flat display screen with narrow bezels at the edges. However, like the other LeEco phones, the black borders are back to haunt us again. There is no visible home button at the bottom as it is embedded within the display and the display output looks sharp and crisp clear.

At the back, there is the dual camera setup, arranged vertically together, and slightly protruded from the smartphone. There’s the dual-tone LED flash just by the side of the camera and the fingerprint sensor is situated just underneath the dual cameras.

The Cool1 features USB Type-C port on the bottom edge, and there are two speaker grills lying on either side of the USB port. The grill adds to the beauty of the device. Meanwhile, you can check out some more photos of the cool1 smartphone LeEco and Coolpad have jointly cooked up from below.
