Coolpad has introduced a new budget smartphone in China called the Coolpad Cool 80. Aimed at entry-level buyers, the device combines a familiar design with a capable chipset and a high-refresh-rate display. The launch marks another attempt by the brand to strengthen its presence in the affordable smartphone segment.

Coolpad Cool 80 specifications and features

The Coolpad Cool 80 features a 6.7-inch IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen adopts a punch-hole design on the front, while the phone measures 168.5 x 76.3 x 8.2mm.

Under the hood, the handset is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor, a chipset that has appeared in several affordable and mid-range devices over the past few years. The phone comes with 6GB of physical RAM and supports an additional 8GB of virtual RAM expansion. It ships with 128GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for additional storage.

For photography, the Coolpad Cool 80 is equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. The official images show that the Cool 80 sports an iPhone-inspired design on the back bu,t still has a different look due to differently arranged cameras.

The phone is currently listed on JD.com, with official images revealing most of its specifications, except for its battery. The JD listing mentions a 4,000mAh battery with 10W charging, which seems quite low for a phone of this size and compared to many contemporary smartphones on the market. Therefore, it remains unclear whether the battery and charging details are accurate.

Coolpad Cool 80 price and availability

The Coolpad Cool 80 has been launched in a single 6GB + 128GB variant priced at 819 Yuan, which converts to roughly $120. The smartphone is currently available in China through local retail channels and online platforms. Buyers can choose from three color options: Rock Sand Black, Dune Orange, and Gauze White.

As of now, there is no clarity on whether the Coolpad Cool 80 will be introduced in international markets. The company has not announced any plans regarding a wider rollout, so global availability remains uncertain.
