CoolPad- A Big Disaappointment
The only Pro I have is that this phone was affordable and eligible for a 50 buck rebate .
Cons: Everything else! ,
The external memory size left much to be desired. Even after I added a 16 GB SD card, I was still being asked to remove apps! Why? Because the phone will not allow you to transfer most apps to your external memory, that's why!
The orientation sensor was no good .The orientation changed whenever it pleased.
When using the keyboard, it would not recognize certain letters cannot tell you which ones because it was a random situation.
The voice caller application started up frequently without any input from me whatsoever.
I am not a tekkie, but the android platform appears to be outdated with no signs of any updates available, so lots of apps was out of my reach which may have been a good thing cause I could not download any more anyway because I was out of storage space, in spite of 16 GB external memory
I missed lots of calls because the ringer volume varied on its own.
The phone is thick, clumsy, and heavy. Too large for not being able to have more memory!
What isn't wrong with this phone?
I had bought my college student son this same phone. He called me the other day to tell me that he cannot use his phone because the screen went out on it. Oh by the way,I purchased the phones in October 2012!
The pull down bar kept rolling back up!
Oh don't let me forget to tell you that the battery life was dead, get it? Dead! I had to charge the Coolpad Quattro at least 3 times in a 24 hour time span and I would get 45 minutes worth of use out of this phone.
Needless to say,$100.00 rebate I received and the low monthly phone bill, that the phone qualified me for. All is not a total lost for me! Read reviews folks, they do us in the right direction. I hope that this helps other folks not to make the same mistake. summarily speaking, I found no redeeming qualities for this phone at all. Just the promotional aspect of it all!

Frustraed it
The phone is a ok phone for a person that dont used it a lot, great price but, key pad is so bad is slow everytime you try to type fast the keypad don't respond, a lot of app are not support it by the phone.
4g work great, I never have a drop call, poor battery life, I have to purchase 2 more batteries and i keep 2 charge and one in used, if i get 2 hour battery life is a lot. is not many accessories to choose out there. Bad camara quality, today days the cell phone have better camara. I keep the phone because I cant afford to purchase a new one. This company have to work hard if want to be in the race of cell phone business.

Good phone but ..
Nice phone , Great Processor speed but Ive had multiple problems with this phone . The soft keys are very Defective and Annoying . Youtube on full screen hd glitches allot . The front camera quality it terrible . Very bad Battery . But this is the company's first phone. The good thing about this phone is the amazing blazing fast 4G speed and the 4 inch screen . Nice phone for 80 $

standard 4g smatphone
Not the best phone out there but, it could be a great starter phone for anyone making the transition to 4G service on the phone is definitely more reliable however a few things I'm not too crazy about, for one the screen resolution could be a bit better for such a large screen and I wish it would respond a little quicker but for $79 I guess you could say you get what you pay for.
