Coolpad, the China-based smartphone manufacturer, has today launched its latest budget smartphone in the Indian market — Coolpad Mega 5A. While most Chinese manufacturers launch their devices as online-exclusive, the Coolpad Mega 5A is an offline-exclusive phone.

Coolpad Mega 5A, which is the successor of the Coolpad Mega 4A that was launched last year, will be available in Gold color for Rs. 6,999 (approximately $100) from today (16th August). It’ll be available in eight offline markets, including Andhra Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh.

The phone features a 5.45-inch HD+ IPS InCell display with screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and 18:9 aspect ratio. Powering the smartphone is a Spreadtrum SC9850K processor, which is clocked at 1.3GHz, coupled with 2GB RAM.

It packs 16GB of internal storage and comes with a microSD card slot that enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 128GB. In terms of photography, it sports dual-camera sensor, featuring an 8-megapixel primary camera and a 0.3-megapixel VGA secondary sensor, paired with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, and LED flash.

On the front side, the device features a 5-megapixel camera sensor with selfie flash. For connectivity, the phone supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio, Micro-USB, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There’s a fingerprint sensor on the back panel for added security. Running on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system, the device is fuelled by a 2,500mAh battery.
