Coolpad has been under the radar for a while
following the woes of its former largest stakeholder, LeEco. The smartphone
company was also in the news recently over patent issues with Xiaomi but it
appears it is back to making phones as a new device has been spotted on TENAA.
The Coolpad 1801-T0 has a 5” 720 x 1080 display. It
is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor with 1GB or 2GB of RAM. Depending on
the RAM variant, you either get 8GB or 16GB of internal storage. However, a
MicroSD slot will let you add an additional 32GB.
The phone has dual rear cameras – a 5MP and 2MP
combo, and another 5MP front facing camera. It runs Android 7.0 Nougat and
packs an 1800mAh battery. The Coolpad 1801-T0 doesn’t score points for design.
It is just the regular candy-bar design we are used to. It has thick bezels
with the lower one housing capacitive buttons.
The dual rear cameras are arranged vertically with a
LED flash on the left. There is also a speaker grille at the bottom and a
Coolpad logo above it. There is no info about a launch date and even when it
eventually launches, we don’t expect a fanfare.
