Coolpad Tiptop Pro: Budget phone with Fingerprint Sensor

Coolpad is a well known smartphone manufacturer in China. The company is known for its feature phones at affordable price.

As it is reported last week saying that Coolpad was working on a new smartphone named by Coolpad Tiptop Pro. It was said that the phone will feature a fingerprint sensor yet the price tag is expected to be just around 1000 Yuan ($160).

Now, the company has just announced via its blog account that it will release the handset soon. The device aims to be one of the cheapest fingerprint recognition enabled in the smartphone. While there are some phones like the Newman Button Phone which brings fingerprint recognition to this price segment, there are still not many options from known manufacturers yet.

The company took on blog to state that most phones with fingerprint recognition like the Huawei Mate 7 and the Nubia Z9 are extremely costly. On the other hand, Coolpad’s new device offers the same tech at a much lower cost.

Other than the fingerprint recognition, the phone turns out to be a decent offering. It comes with Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor with 2GB RAM and 8GB storage. There will be a 5.5-inch 720p screen on the front. The rear camera will be of 13MP while the front shooter of 5MP. It will support 4G LTE networks and will run on a customized version of Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS.

As you can see, the specifications are pretty decent for a 1000 Yuan phone. In fact, we have seen phones with better configurations at this price like the Meizu M1 Note (5.5-inch full HD), but the fingerprint recognition on the device definitely gives it a slight edge over competitors.

So how do you think about this new affordable device?
