The phone features a 6.38-inch 16:10 display with up to 90Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Helio G99 chip, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 50-megapixel rear camera, and a 4,600mAh battery, running Android 16 but limited to 4G connectivity.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The unusually wide 16:10 screen echoes the proportions of recent premium foldable phones without any folding mechanism, suggesting Coolpad may be chasing a similar look at a fraction of the cost. Its limited 4G-only connectivity reflects typical trade-offs made to hit an aggressive budget price point, which could appeal to cost-conscious buyers in China willing to accept fewer premium features.
- Coolpad's Cool X Wide costs about $150 and is available for preorder in China via JD.com.
- The phone has a 6.38-inch 16:10 display, wider than a standard smartphone screen, without folding.
- It runs Android 16 on a MediaTek Helio G99 chip but is restricted to 4G networks.
