The phone feels slightly bulky in the hand and the 173 gram weight is very noticeable. You can chalk this up to the all–metal body and the large battery. On the upside, it has a bright, 5.5-inch full HD display that is easy to read under direct sunlight. However, like most budget phones, this one too has thick black bezels. These are not shown in the rendered images on the company’s website. The fingerprint on the back is responsive and it recognized & unlocked the screen 9 out of 10 times.
The camera is the area where the phone takes a few missteps. The phone has a 13MP rear camera with f2.2 aperture. However, the quality is average — daylight images are good, images shot indoors lack details. Low light results are worse as there is lots of noise. The front camera fares slightly better: it captures wide-angle images with good details and the front flash aids in low light. As a brand, Coolpad has seen great success in the sub Rs 10,000 segment by offering excellent value — first with the Coolpad Note 3 and then with the Coolpad Mega 2.5D. The Note 5 does continue with this approach. It offers great performance, fantastic battery life with a 5.5-inch full HD display and an all-metal body. It is still instant value for money. It’s biggest competitor is the Redmi Note 3 which offers better performance and more features at roughly the same price.
