Editorial report

Coolpad Cool 12A technical sheet

The Coolpad Cool 12A may suit someone looking for a basic phone for everyday tasks, with a notable trade-off: its battery capacity is 4,000 mAh. It runs Android. NeoTeo has no overall score for this model.

Its 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1560 px resolution and 273 ppi pixel density. Storage is 64 GB and expandable, while RAM is 4 GB. The Spreadtrum processor has four cores and a maximum clock speed of 2 GHz. This is a basic hardware setup, with no basis for presenting performance as a standout strength.

The rear main camera is 16 MP, accompanied by a 2 MP depth camera; the front camera is 8 MP. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps, and the main camera has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity includes LTE, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, and USB Type-C. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Overall, the Coolpad Cool 12A is a basic smartphone with expandable storage and useful everyday connections, but a 4,000 mAh battery and straightforward display specifications. It is aimed at people whose needs center on essential functions rather than a more fully equipped setup.
