Design and Display
In terms of look, the Coolpad Note 3 has got it, although its body is made of plastic material. An inner frame made of aluminium boosts the robustness of the handset, which sports soft matte texture on the rear for comfortable grip.
The front is dominated by a large 5.5-inch display with very thin bezels. The IPS capacitive touchscreen has an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, making for decent wide-angle viewing, but nothing spectacular.
Camera and Storage
The Coolpad Note 3 is impressively set up in the camera department with a combo of 13-megapixel primary camera and 5-megapixel secondary camera. The main shooter has LED flash and autofocus and can be used to record Full HD (1080p) videos at 30 frames per second.
You get generous internal storage of 16GB capacity for storing your photos, videos, files and apps. The storage space can be boosted by up to 64 GB using a microSD card.
Power and Performance
With an octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor rocking away under the hood, the Coolpad Note 3 appears ready to deliver powerful performance. The robust CPU, which is clocked at 1.3 GHz, is given encouragement for smooth multitasking by ample 3 GB of RAM.
The phablet runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, coated with its maker’s Cool UI skin. Juice is provided by a powerful 3,000mAh Li-Ion battery rated to deliver up to 15 hours in talk time.
Other Features
The Coolpad Note 3 also impresses with its rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which the phone’s maker says will recognise your configured fingerprints regardless of the angles at which you touch it. The dual-SIM phablet supports incredibly-fast 4G LTE connectivity on its two SIM slots.
You will also be getting microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, 3G HSPA, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot for your connectivity needs.

CoolPad Note 3 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. CoolPad Note 3 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N27,000 to N35,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
