Coolpad Note 3 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Deeksha Koli]()
Verdict
The Coolpad Note 3 does stand out with its extremely efficient fingerprint scanner and powerful processor. The battery life of the device is just as good and some of the software features are rather interesting. However, the average display and poor camera take away from the package. The Lenovo K3 Note and YU Yureka Plus both beat the Coolpad Note 3 with their impressive cameras and sharper displays. However, the Note 3 has an edge over the two in terms of performance and battery life. If you can settle for a camera that just about does its job, the Coolpad Note 3 is a great option under Rs 10...

Pros
- Efficient fingerprint sensor
- Great battery backup
- Powerful processor and ample RAM
Cons
- Average display
- Poor cameras
Design: Nothing extraordinary
+
The first department you might notice the brand has cut corners in, is the design. There’s nothing special about the looks of the Coolpad Note 3 as it remains a candybar phone with rounded corners and thick horizontal bezels. However, a chrome trim runs towards the front, around the display of the device, being the only saving grace. The front is mostly taken up by the display which spans 5.5-inches. Flanking it from above are the earpiece, sensors and secondary camera. Below the screen you will find three capacitive navigation keys, which are not backlit.

Display: Not bad but could have been better
+
The Coolpad Note 3 falls in the phablet category with its large display and is not meant for one-handed usage. The aforementioned slipperiness of the back panel only makes the task more difficult. Talking about the screen, the colours on the HD display look vivid and the screen brightness is adequate. If the colour reproduction does not please you, you can choose from different Screen effect settings, which include the Standard mode, Vivid mode and a User mode. The User mode lets you take control over the screen contrast, saturation and colour temperature.

Camera: Simply disappointing
+
Camera quality has always been one of the crucial deciding factors while buying a smartphone and smartphone makers ensure they at least take the megapixel count up a notch, whether or not the results correspond. Similar is the case with the Coolpad Note 3.

Software: offers some interesting features
+
The phone runs the brand’s Cool UI v6.0 on top of the latest version of Android Lollipop. There’s no dedicated app drawer, as you can expect from any Chinese Android skin. Apart from Whatsapp, which comes preloaded on the Coolpad Note 3, other third-party apps include WPS Office, WeChat, Amazon, Facebook and Xploree. There’s also a theme centre called Cool Show where in you can choose from eight different themes and customise them as well. An application called Rock Wallpaper lets you shuffle wallpapers by shaking the device.

Performance and Battery: steal the show
+
There’s nothing better than a nice and long session of a heavy game to test the engines in any smartphone. We chose Dead Trigger 2 and Riptide GP2, and both were a piece of cake for the Coolpad Note 3.
