Performance and Software
Under the hood, the device runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chipset, which was a reliable choice at its launch time, featuring an octa-core CPU configuration—4x1.5 GHz for performance-focused tasks and 4x1.0 GHz for power efficiency. Complemented by the Adreno 405 GPU, it sufficiently handles most mid-range applications and games from its era. The phone originally launched with Android 6.0 Marshmallow layered with Coolpad's custom Cool UI 8, offering various customization options but potentially lacking updates, as the device is now discontinued.
