The latest phone emerging from Coolpad and LeEco’s kitchen is the Cool Changer S1, which is a flagship-grade handset that combines the expertise of booth Chinese behemoths Coolpad and LeEco – and for a mid-range price.
The Cool Changer S1 comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS in-cell display which is 450 Nits bright and can reproduce 72 percent of NTSC gamut. It is powered by 2.35GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 821 chipset with Adreno 530 GPU.
You get to choose between three variants: 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM, and 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM. Coolpad and LeEco have opted for the eMMc 5.1 storage instead of faster UFS 2.0 storage, but that’s perhaps acceptable for the price.

Other notable highlights include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac(2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, USB Type-C CDLA audio aided by Harman Kardon amplifier, a fingerprint sensor, and a 4070mAh battery.
