Smartphone brand CoolPad launched yet another model in its &China Knapsack Manual Sprayer Manufacturers39;Cool’ range, this month. This one’s called the Cool 5, selling at a budget-friendly price of Rs 7,999.With a good design, powerful battery and an expandable storage of up to 128GB, Coolpad really tried to deliver. However, it sort of missed out on a few key components, which is where began its downslide.
Read on to know our thoughts about it, after using it for quite some time.Build, design and displayThe Coolpad Cool 5 smartphone comes with a plastic shell with a waterdrop notch for its selfie camera set just below the earpiece. With an IPS LCD 6.22-inches dewdrop display on the rest of the front, the phone’s back has a gradient design. Gradually blending from black into purple or blue depending on the colour variant. The phone’s bottom wields a ‘coolpad’ etching too.While the phone comes in two colours – gradient blue, and midnight blue; we reviewed a model in gradient blue.Otherwise, the handset sports a USB-C port at the bottom, with two speaker grilles on either side. USB-C ports provide for faster data transfer and ensure that the device remains a little more future proof. There is also an additive advantage of not fussing about sides, with reversibility.At the top, we find the headphone jack, while the right of the device sports the volume and power buttons. To the left, you get the hybrid SIM tray that can be used with either two Nano-SIM cards or a SIM and a microSD card. At the back, it has a fingerprint scanner in the centre, a little way from its dual camera panel at the top.
The looks of this smartphone aren’t bad, it’s also compact for one-hand usage or for carrying it around. However, it does feel slightly heavier than usual phones and is relatively thicker than other phones as well, irrespective of battery variations and other features.Feeling sturdy enough to be able to withstand a few drops, it still, however, comes with a transparent phone case in the box, in fact, there’s also a screen guard that comes along. The phone’s display produces colours and contrast well, thus not suffering much despite its low price. However, what puts a damper on the otherwise good performance is a poor ambient light sensor. Videos would abruptly dim or brighten, out of sync with the actual ambient lighting of the setting bringing down an otherwise good performance to an overall ‘decent’ categorisation.CameraThe phone has a 13MP primary rear camera with a 2MP depth sensor and a flash. This supports multiple modes- namely the beauty, FaceCute, Bokeh, Pro, and a Smart photo mode. Use whichever mode you would like in combination with the camera’s hardware, Cool 5 lets the user down heavily in terms of photography.There is heavy discolouration of the pictures, an unasked for bluish tint and a lack of clarity even in well-lit conditions. In the bokeh mode pictures get an added depth to them however, the shoddy application of a blurring effect makes the dimension inappreciable.
The camera’s beauty mode provides the options to modify the whiteness, smoothness, slim and also facilitate enlargement of the elements in the image. Playing around with the mode’s parameters; however, we didn’t see any impact of the beauty mode’s options except for with whiteness and smoothness. Ironically enough beauty mode’s features did not help with the aesthetics of the subjects at all, even the whiteness and smoothness modifications left a shoddy touch.Next up, the FaceCute mode provides you with multiple filters while also supporting features of the beauty mode. The filters come pre-installed, but largely need to be downloaded on the camera app’s vast array of the AI filters.Meanwhile, all of these modes have taken a few seconds after clicking to process and save the image which indicates a serious shutter lag; something which is no longer common in budget models. This however we mention just to give you an idea of the processing infrastructure of this camera as well.This device has another ‘Smart Photo mode’ which has left us with our heads scratching throughout its review. What exactly does it do? You can help us find it out because we couldn’t. The following is a sequence of with and without Smart mode enabled pictures.
