Coolpad Catalyst Review
Score: 52.1 / 100Coolpad Catalyst is a mid-to-low level device released back in the year 2016, which counts with a pretty big 5" screen, a good performance Quad-Core CPU running at 1.1 gigahertz, and 2 cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 2 MP front camera. We will get a better idea about this cellphone's features when we get into more details.
This cellphone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 8909 system chip, including a great performance Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1100 MHz with 1 GB RAM. A nice advantage of this device is its big 8 GB internal memory and a slot for an SD memory card, which allows the user to install hundreds of games and apps without worrying about space.
Coolpad appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 5.74 ounces cellphone. The Coolpad Catalyst is a compact phone, taking into account that it packs a 5 inches screen and it's just 5.7" long and 2.81 inches wide. The Coolpad Catalyst is very slim and looks really nice, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest phones you can find, with a thickness of 0.43".
This phone has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 2 megapixels front side camera. It is capable of filming HD 1280x720 videos at 30 fps.
Coolpad packed this phone with an average 5-inches display, and a 480 x 854 resolution, which makes everything look quite good.
The Coolpad Catalyst counts with Wi-Fi connection (but it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), 4G (LTE) great performance connection and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a lower speed 4G type and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and HSPA technologies. The Coolpad Catalyst uses a Micro SIM card for GSM networks.
This device uses an inmense 2200 mAh Li - Ion replaceable battery, which isn't very much for a phone like this.
This phone also includes a couple of interesting features like Bluetooth (4.0 ), GPS and FM Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
The Coolpad Catalyst is not a good choice considering it is priced $ 100, and many similar phones can be found for much less money.
