Coolpad unveils Cool X Wide with 16:10 TFT screen, Helio G99, and 256GB storage

Coolpad joins the trend of releasing wide-screen phones, but for entry-level users.

As you can see, the phone’s main distinction is its form factor. It measures 150.3 x 94.5 x 8.95mm, and its 94.5mm width is considerably greater than the roughly 70mm to 80mm typical of most smartphones. 

This gives the device a shape that departs from the usual candybar design. Meanwhile, it is offered in White, Black, and Red.

The unit is powered by a 4,600mAh battery, although Coolpad has not disclosed the charging speed.

For photography, the spec sheet lists a 50MP rear camera and a macro lens. The company has not confirmed the total number of rear sensors, and details about the front camera are unavailable.

The phone also supports dual SIM dual standby. Coolpad claims full network compatibility but has not specified the supported network bands.
