A $130 a flagship smartphone: let's take a look at the cool pad legacy straight ahead. Welcome back guys, it's Alice from tech, Harris comm, and we are going to take a look at the cool pad legacy, 4G LTE, flagship smartphone. That will only cost you one hundred and twenty-nine ninety-nine all right. Let's take a look at what the box looks like here. This is from Metro by T-Mobile, so this will work on the Metro by T-Mobile network. Not sure if I'll have to verify to see if it's it'll work, another GSM providers like AT&T or not I'm, assuming it will, but we'll find out at some point.
So the back of the box just has all the information and of course has the phone features which is 4G. LTE has Android, and then this has Android Pi on it, which is surprising for such a low budget. It's a flagship phone but $129, it's pretty impressive. They had that 6.36, full HD display 16, megapixel and 5 megapixel main camera 13 on the front, have 32 gigs of storage and 3 gigs of ram and a 1.8 gigahertz outscore, processor and C. We have the phone inside the SIM card, USB type-c, which is great to see on a phone.
This of this price point Quick, Start, Guide: let's go ahead and open it up and see. If that's indeed, what we have inside first thing you see here is the phone and that's usually what you see when you unbox these phones, we'll put that to the side. You have your Quick Start Guide. Here you have a health and safety warranty guide, and you have a charger. So I believe this is a quick charged Apter and that comes in the box, and you also get your USB type-c cable, which is great to see every phone should be running, USB type-c, and you have a sim card ejection tool and that's all there is in the box here, go ahead and put that to the side.
Let's take this phone out and see what we got here for 129 dollars. First thing I can feel is this thing is solid: it has some heft to it some weight to it. That display is huge, yeah front facing camera proximity sensor, volume, key and power key I, love, love, love that the power key and the volume key are on the same side. I just don't like having to manipulate buttons on this side when I'm right-handed I understand for lefties, it's probably different bottom, you have probably one speaker I'm, not sure if this is dual speaker or not, but you have your USB USB-C port, and on top you have a headphone jack and a mic, and on the back, you have your dual camera setup, a fingerprint sensor and of course you have your SIM card and SD card slot. Now believe this does support SD cards up to 128 gigs.
So you can expand your storage in this only comes with 32, gigs of storage. So you, you know if you want any more storage than that, you'll have to use the SD card expansion slot. Now, let's see if this thing's got any power, most of these guys usually do and there it is so will par this guy up real, quick and, as I said before, it has a six point. Three six-inch screen Full HD display and just looking at it right now, you can see the bezels on the left and right are pretty slim, B chin and the forehead are pretty, pretty big. That's there.
Those are not small for heads and Chin's here these are pretty substantial. The whole phone is pretty big. It reminds me of a Galaxy Note, but a little bigger, I think even to hold so the back peel. This off here believe that's glass might be plastic, I'm, not sure if I'll have to look into that as well. There's a fingerprint sensor, that's cool pad here! Oh, no! This is a really nice design.
Like the kind of steel, gray color. It is very nice. That's not bad a matter of fact. I'm going to put this down here, and we'll put the Samsung Galaxy S, 10, plus next to it just for comparison here, so you guys can have a look see that phone is way bigger, display size on. This is six point.
Four inches six point three six inches, and you can see that most of this is being taken up by chins and foreheads. Here, whereas the Samsung is much slimmer on the top and bottom I mean that was that comes as no surprise here, let's bring in the pixel three XL and get a little comparison in size there you can see again. The chin is almost the same size as the pixels, maybe slightly bigger, but the forehead is much bigger and again these are similar sized screens, and then we're going to bring up the maze 16s, which I've been testing, and this is even smaller, and it's 6.2-inch screen. So it's not that much smaller in screen size, but is definitely smaller and by size so screen to body ratio. The cool pad legacy doesn't quite meet the current flagship standards, but that's okay.
It's a nice! Looking screen, it's a nice looking device in 420 9.99! You know I. That might be something a lot of people can't pass up. So we're going to set this thing up real, quick, and we'll be right back alright guys we have the cool pad legacy all set up and logged into my Google account. I haven't logged into anything else. Just wanted to get the phone up and running kind of run through really quick, and let you see what you have here.
There's your home screen, here's your app tray, and it looks pretty clean. It looks almost stock Android, some interesting icons going on here, something a little I mean the icons are a bit different from what you'll see on your pixel, but I'm, not sure that there's much of a skin on this thing, let me run it and see what we're running here. If it's Android Pi it should be Android Pi, that's what they said comes with it. Let's take a look, Android version 9, yes, indeed, so this is Android Pi, and this is running this actually part of the reason this sucker is so thick because you don't know you can see that on camera, but it is a pretty thick phone comparative lead to the pixel 3xl or the maze of 16s or the galaxy s 10 plus, but there is a four thousand William hour battery in this guy. So it's its rather, rather big, but I mean the chin and the forehead are huge.
I have to admit that would have been nice to see this slimmed down quite a bit, not sure why, and they had to go all the way down this far side. Bezels aren't bad I like them. Those are pretty good. It also has Qualcomm quick charge 3.0, which is good to see on a phone of this price point. As far as CPU goes, it's a Snapdragon 450, okay.
So it's not the fastest thing in the world. So that's where we're getting hit. The most is with your performance. Probably it's not going to be as fast and snappy as this Samsung or the pixel 3 XL or even the maze. So you know you.
We were talking one 29.99 here, so we're going to have to make some sacrifices. Obviously, it's running an adrenal 6 for GPU, as I said before it has 32 gigs of storage and three gigs of RAM. You can upgrade the storage capacity with the SIM card. The micro SD card SIM card tray here, just throw in a 128 or anything lower than that, and you'll be good to go as Bluetooth 4.2, USB 2.0. Obviously USB see here.
There is no wireless charging onboard here, so you know you are sacrificing several things with no wireless charging, a little slower, CPU and GPU, but again at one 29.99. This is cool, pads, flagship phone I think that's a pretty good deal, especially for the size screen, you're getting full HD display. We have to run through tests and put this phone through its paces. Yet I stopped writing. My I was in the middle of writing in my Galaxy S 10 plus review, which I will probably do a video on later on, maybe next week.
So I stopped writing this review, so I can unbox and take a look at this guy who just came in just literally in about an hour ago. So this is actually a very nice phone and not everybody wants to buy this. This is gonna cost a lot of money. This is $1,000, so yeah you get all the latest and greatest you get the triple cameras in the back, and you get the dual cameras in the front, and you have a nice slim bezel. You have the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and all that jazz, but not everybody has a thousand dollars lying around.
Nor do they want to finance a thousand dollars. So something like this is a good phone for people who are looking to save money and who are living on the budget. One $29.99 you can get a Metro PCI, Metro, T-Mobile and yeah. We are gonna, have a full review on the cool pad legacy in the coming weeks. I will get my Samsung Galaxy S, 10, plus review up next and following that will be the maser 16s review.
So we will get those two reviews up before we do this one. But while we are working on those, we will be testing this out as well. So that is the cool pad legacy flagship smartphone. It is not a bad phone if you're looking to save a buck and if you don't care about all the extra bells and whistles like wireless charging and the latest Snapdragon processors and Arena GPUs, if I think will serve people who just want to save some money and have a good, decent, smartphone I think it'll serve them.
