Coolpad launches “made for India” smartphone with a third sim slot “meant for Reliance Jio”

Chinese smartphone maker Coolpad today launched a made for India smartphone. Now if you are wondering what really makes the phone ‘made for India’, well, it has not one, not two but three sim slots and the third sim slot is apparently meant for Reliance Jio, Syed Tajuddin, CEO, Coolpad India says, “Normally three sim card phones are not available globally. Since no one expected Jio to come with such complimentary offer, this to tell people in India to use your two regular numbers and one for data in the same device.”

The company is collaborating with Reliance Jio and through the partnership, Coolpad users can avail the Reliance Jio SIM at reliance stores by sharing the device’s purchase invoice. And of course, the users will get all benefits provided by Reliance under the JIO scheme.

Priced at Rs. 6999, Coolpad Mega 3 does come in an India friendly price range. And apart from sporting 3 SIM slots, the phone has a display of 5.5-inch IPS HD (1280 x 720 pixel) resolution, 3,050 mAh battery, 8MP front camera with LED flash along with 80.1°FOV (Field of View), The phone comes with 16GB of internal memory, which can be further increased up to 64GB. It will be available in three color variants, Gold, Grey and White. These devices will be available in India from December 7th onwards exclusively on Amazon.in.

Given the number call drops and poor data speed we have to deal with, it really does make sense to have choice of three operators in your hands just so that things can function smoothly.
