Coolpad unveiled its new Cool X Wide Android phone priced at $150, featuring a wider screen similar to the iPhone Duo but without the folding technology. The display on the Cool X Wide has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is more comparable to that of a compact tablet or the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold 8 when closed, but without the high price tags, costly repairs, and screen creases associated with folding phones.
It is currently available for pre-order through JD.com in China, starting at 999 Chinese Yuan, or approximately $150, in black, red, or white color options. The phone is expected to begin shipping on November 8th.
The Cool X Wide is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, 8GB of RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. For those who need more storage, there is an option to upgrade to 256GB for about $180. Alternatively, increasing the RAM to 12GB is priced at around $209. Its 6.38-inch display boasts a 16:10 aspect ratio, a refresh rate up to 90Hz, and a resolution of 1,158x720 pixels.
The device also features a 50-megapixel main camera and a 4,600mAh battery. The Cool X Wide runs on Android 16 out of the box, but the phone's processor restricts its connectivity to only 4G networks.
