LeEco in collaboration with Coolpad are swiftly coming out with affordable high-end smartphones. After launching their first joint handset, the Cool 1 Dual in August and their second device, the Cool Changer 1C, in late November, the two companies have jointly launched their third smartphone, the Cool S1, in China.

The Cool S1 features a metal body with a design language that looks very similar to the LeEco Le Pro 3.

The fingerprint sensor falls just below the rear camera module.

As mentioned earlier, the smartphone is being offered in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage options.
The Cool S1 runs LeEco's EUI 5.8 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with dual-SIM support. The handset sports a 16-megapixel rear camera with PDAF, 4K recording and Dual-LED flash, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Cool S1 measures 151.4x74.7x7.5mm and weighs 168 grams. Connectivity options include 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.1, OTG, and USB Type-C support. The device is fitted with a 4070mAh battery pack that supports Quick Charge 3.0.
