3.Coolpad Note 5:
Coolpad has launched its new budget
smartphone Coolpad Note 5 in India. Unlike its predecessor Coolpad Note 3
Plus, it packs a full metal body which looks and feels good and the
2.5D curved glass on the front also adds to the beauty and comfort. It
packs a 5.5 inches Full HD display with decent color output and good
viewing angles. It runs on the bit older 1.5 GHz Octa-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon 617 Processor coupled with 4 GB RAM and Adreno 405 GPU. At

Overall, the Coolpad Note
5 comes with all the features, good design, decent performance and
cameras and a good battery life. It is a balanced phone in most
departments but, still it is not a very good buying choice because, it
is not offering anything different or exciting. Most of its
competitors in this price segment are offering all these features with a
little better package.

5. Meizu M2 Note:
Meizu has launched
its much awaited powerful budget smartphone Meizu M2 Note in India. The
phone packs a beautiful and sturdy unibody metal design and is really
very well-built, seeing the design, one cannot guess the phone costs
just under 10k. If we look at the placement of buttons, the power and
volume rockers rest on the right side and there is a physical home
button on the front below the screen, which also integrates the
fingerprint sensor but, there are no ‘back’ and ‘recent apps’ button on
the phone… Expand Review
Overall, the Meizu M2 Note is an
extremely well-built phone for its price, it also packs decent
performance, good features and a good battery life. It can be another
good choice, specially if you give more importance to design, it can be a
great choice.
