Coolpad Cool1 Dual Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![sidhant]()
Verdict
Overall, the Coolpad Cool 1 Dual is a feature-packed phone; be it the capable dual cameras, the neat software, or inclusions like FM radio and an IR blaster. I do have minor niggles with the phone... but quite honestly the “good” overtakes the “bad” here. The Cool1 Dual is one of the best all-round phones under Rs 15,000, and possibly the best camera phone under this price bracket. Your other options include the wonderfully reliable Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (review) and t
Pros
- Stellar camera image quality
- Good battery life
- Decent performance
Cons
- Fixed storage
- Selfie camera could be better
- Black borders around the display

Starting with the design, you will immediately notice the LeEco influences in the Cool 1 Dual. The phone looks similar to the LeEco Le 1s (review), not the Le2 and I’ll tell you why. The LeEco Le2 (review) doesn’t break the metallic continuity from back to front. The Cool 1 Dual, on the other hand, does exactly that. Furthermore, unlike the Le2, the Cool 1 Dual does retain a headphone jack. Apart from that, it’s same in terms of look, feel, and shape from every angle. And that is not a bad thing; LeEco phones generally look great and so does the Cool 1 Dual.

Looking past the average display, the camera on the Cool 1 Dual actually impressed me. The first thing you will notice is that the vertical rear camera module actually houses two lenses; one is a standard RGB lens and the other is a monochrome lens. Yes, the implementation is similar to what we saw in the Huawei P9 (review).

Instead of running the Cool UI skin on top of Android Lollipop like the other Coolpad smartphones, the Cool 1 Dual runs LeEco’s eUI. This is a good thing because eUI offers better memory management and you also get themes on it. Having said that, I still have certain issues with it. Like most Chinese skins, even eUI doesn’t have an app drawer and it doesn't include quick settings in the notification shade. The quick settings are instead placed in the multitasking window, which seems a little odd. The other big change that I noticed is that while you do get free LeCloud storage on this phone, you don’t get the LeVidi app present on other LeEco smartphones. The LeVidi app gives you access to live TV and free movies, apart from other entertainment content. Therefore, my suspicion is that LeEco wants to keep some of its signature features exclusive to its own phones, especially in India.
