Design
Like the Coolpad Note lineup, the Mega also continues the all-plastic build but the difference lies in the approach towards design. The Mega 2.5D’s design while not entirely original is certainly a cut above anything the company has pushed out so far. The front of the phone looks inspired by the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 but that’s not something that we’re going to complain about.
Performance
The Coolpad Mega 2.5d is powered by a MediaTek MT6735P octa-core processor which is paired with 3GB RAM. While it is strong enough to handle day-to-day tasks such as social networking, web browsing, movie playback and YouTube videos quite well, it is no different from a majority of budget smartphones when it comes to handling heavy tasks. With graphic-intensive games such as FIFA 16 or Asphalt 8, it tends to feel a bit sluggish at times. There is no heating up, though.
The phone offers 16GB of internal storage, while the microSD allows one to add up to 32GB to it. Both SIM slots support 4G networks, which is good news for Hotstar and Youtube users.
The phone’s 2,500mAh battery is a mixed bag and barely lasts a day if you don’t stress it.
Connectivity & Battery Life
Connectivity options are pretty standard on the Coolpad Mega 2.5D and includes 4G VoLTE on the Dual SIM slots. There is WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS support as well of course. Unfortunately the trend of hybrid SIM card slots has caught on here as well. The handset mandates that you chose between two nano SIM card slots or a single SIM and a microSD card slot. Built in storage on the handset is 16GB of which approximately 10GB is available at first boot.
User Inferface
Running CoolUI 8.0 based on Android 6.0, the Coolpad Mega 2.5D employs a UI layout that has become far too common. A significant departure from how stock Android operates, the interface drops the app drawer as is common in many Chinese devices. Instead, the home screen houses all app icons in a grid and can be accessed straight from the lockscreen.
Verdict
The Coolpad Mega 2.5D is a great phone in budget segment. Specially best choice if you are looking for a Smartphone under 10k range . This is a visually appealing identity that stands out from the competition.
