Coolpad Catalyst Specs

5.0

Description

The Coolpad Catalyst has LTE connectivity, but most of its features aren't what we'd call exciting. The phone sports a 5-inch display with 480 x 854 pixels - one of the lowest screen resolutions currently available - and is powered by a quad-core 1.1 GHz processor (a Snapdragon 210). Other features include 5 MP and 2 MP cameras (rear and front), a 2200 mAh battery, and 8 GB of internal memory - expandable thanks to a microSD card slot. The new device runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Great phone for low budget people
Phone owned for less than a month

I have had this phone for a few days now and I like it, it was easy to root as well. It seems to do really well when it comes to speed. I really like the fact when you install a app from your SD Card or another app it asks you where you'd like to install it. I haven't noticed any lag and I'm a icon pack creator so I like to test my phones to see how well they can handle what I'm needing it to handle.

Bad Budget Phone, AVOID
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Bad everything, I regret buying this phone in a pinch. Coolpad is a Foolpad period! Slow at everything. Touch screen is unresponsive and clumsy. D- seems fair as a grade. Save money and buy a pencil and paper and you will be happier. Woof , what a dog!

Beware !!!! Do NOT buy !!!!
Phone owned for less than a month

I've had this phone for 5 days!!!! Already it has rebooted WHILE I was on a call. Rebooted while the phone was sitting on the table with a 76% charge (and NOT from updating). Frozen up solid (to the point where I HAVE to remove the battery) 3 times. The colors on the display wash out when the screen is tilted. The camera takes terrible pictures, even for a 5MP camera. I have noticed MAJOR memory slowdowns, while changing recent apps, browsing the internet, and playing a card game. Seriously a CARD game. Imagine what it would do if I was playing a game where a quick response was necessary. Due to the predicament I was in, I had to have a cheap phone immediately and had to get this one. Even if you HAVE to have a cheap phone. FIND SOMETHING ELSE ! Reception gets a 6 only because of being on MetroPCS. Text input gets a 6 only because I was using the 'Google Keyboard'.
