I was searching for a mid budget android phone in 10k rupees. I saw Coolpad Note 3 Plus and it's specifications impressed ( fooled) me. Why I said fooled! Let me explain it.I received this mobile and opened it in excitement. I liked the stylish design and screen layout of my Coolpad Note 3 ( white color) from the first glance. It looked beautiful and elegant. My friends also liked its design. The best thing was it looked more expensive for the price.I started using it and then while using it, the real issues made me feel as I was cheated. I realized how foolish I was to purchase this mobile. These are some serious issues which spoiled my mobile experience.1. My phone was unable to play games smoothly even simple games like subway surfer and temple run were lagging. It was very irritating because even when no major app was running in background, it still lagged in same manner. For a mobile with an Octa core processor and 3GB RAM, it was unexpectedly shameful.

  1. The phone got heated like an oven when I watched videos or surfed the internet. If heavy apps are used, many mobiles tend to heat up but my phone was heated on simple usage like using twitter, reading online articles or chatting with friends on social media. That was very annoying because heat intensity increased beyond limit and it worried me to an extent that I feared if the mobile was about to explode.

  2. The battery backup of my phone was pathetic. It did not last for even 8 hours even without much use in between. Going by the 3000mAH battery, it was terribly disgraceful backup. It was felt even more because I could not use the phone when charging it because the phone turned hot in no time. So, I was forced to keep it aside during the charging time for the fear of overheating.

The camera was below average, and the sim connectivity was below par. One of the two Sims suffered serious signal fluctuations. The internet was badly effected due to this. The Coolpad UI was not that great either. There was very little scope of customization and there was no app drawer.Please guys, do not get fooled by specification because I felt cheated after buying this phone. This phone did not last for even 6 months and became slower and slower with every passing day. I was lured by specifications and I made a big mistake.
