Coolpad, after launching the Note 3, Note 3 Lite, Note 3 Plus, and Max, has now unveiled its fifth smartphone, the Mega 2.5D, in India. The company is targeting young buyers, specifically selfie-obsessed ones, with its latest product.
Talking to Gadgets 360, Syed Tajuddin, CEO Coolpad India, stated that the company is looking to capture 13-15 percent of the market share of smartphones selling online for under Rs. 8,000. He also confirmed that while the first batch of Coolpad Mega 2.5D phones will be imported from China, units will later be manufactured in India under the 'Make in India' initiative. At the launch event in New Delhi, we spent some time with the Mega 2.5D, and here are our first impressions.
At first glance, the Coolpad Mega 2.5D looks like an all-metal smartphone, though only the frame is actually metal. It feels sturdy, but the 5.5-inch screen makes it slightly hard to use with just one hand. We had trouble reaching the notifications shade while using the Mega 2.5D with just one hand. We also observed that without any curves, the edges of the Mega 2.5D felt a bit too sharp in our hands. At 140 grams, the phone felt light for its size.
