Coolpad has a new entry-level device that is now
available for pre-order on JD.com. The phone, which is called the Cool 9,
shares a similar design to the Cool 3 which launched in India back in February.
The Cool 9 has a 5.71-inch display with a 1520 x 720
resolution and a waterdrop notch. Coolpad says the phone has a 90.3% screen to
body ratio and a 19:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by the Helio A22 processor
and has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage with support for expansion.
There is a 5MP camera in front for selfies and a
13MP + 0.3MP dual camera combo on the rear. The Cool 9 has dual SIM support
(nano-only), LTE support, an audio jack, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner,
and Face Unlock. It packs a 3000mAh battery that charges via a MicroUSB port.
The phone runs COOL UI 9.0 based on Android 9.0.
The Cool 9 has an 8-layer plated finish. It is
available in Aurora, Satin Red, and Dragon Glass Black. However, JD.com has
only the Aurora variant and an entirely different color called Star Blue
available for pre-order. The phone is priced at ¥ 599 (US$ 87).
