Coolpad has a new mid-range phone launching on Wednesday, May 25. The phone will arrive as the COOL 20, and just a few days before the launch, the manufacturer has decided to reveal some of its key specs and features.

The COOL 20 will have MediaTek’s Helio G80 processor powering it, an upgrade from the aged Helio P30 chipset inside its predecessor, the COOL 10. The octa-core chipset has two Cortex-A75 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 1.8GHz respectively along with a Mali-G52 MP2 GPU.

There will be 128GB of storage onboard with support for storage expansion (256GB max.). Coolpad says it uses the EROFS file system developed by Huawei that allows for more space and is also faster than the F2FS format.

The manufacturer has also confirmed that the phone will have 48MP dual cameras and will feature image processing technology from Arcsoft. It has added a bunch of features including night mode, portrait mode, and HDR mode. Below are some sample photos that were taken by the device. The configuration of the second rear camera was not stated but the front-facing camera is a 13MP sensor.

Another feature confirmed is support for Dual-band Wi-Fi and 4G+ network, the latter of which it claims is three times faster than standard 4G.

The COOL 20 will have a waterdrop notch, be covered in scratch-resistant and oleophobic glass on both sides, and be available in black, green, and white. It will run Cool OS out of the box.

Coolpad teases the launch of the COOL 20 smartphone for May 25

Chinese smartphone company Coolpad was previously in partnership with LeEco but since the demise of the LeEco brand, it has continued to chart a course for itself in the smartphone industry. The Coolpad brand has a fairly decent presence in China, India, and a host of other markets. It is now set to release a new smartphone that will help it grab a share of the pie in terms of smartphone market shares. The device dubbed Coolpad COOL 20 recently featured in some promotional teaser posters shared by the company.

The poster shows that the model will be launched in China on May 25. Not many details of the smartphone are revealed but it is believed to be the successor of the Coolpad COOL 10 which was released in June 2020. The promotional posts show the COOL 20 will have a glass body and will be available in white and black color options.

The teaser poster also showed that the device will feature a dual-camera setup consisting of a 48MP main shooter. The camera has the ArcSoft badge printed on the module which suggests it is co-engineered with ArcSoft, a provider of imaging solutions to partners in computers, digital cameras, and others. The device is also touted to come with premium audio quality. There is no fingerprint reader at the back which suggests it won’t have one. The Cool 10 from last year is a budget smartphone and this may not be different.

The internal specifications were not revealed but we expect the device to do better than the budget COOL 10 which features a 6.57-inch IPS LCD screen with a waterdrop notch at the top. The COOL 10 is powered by a MediaTek Helio P30 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB of expandable internal storage. It equally packs a 4900mAh battery with fast charging via a USB-C port.
