Amid extremely growing competition, mobile companies are throwing incredibly low price phones packed with high-end features. Now people are expecting more and more affordable phone illuminating with powerful technical specifications. One year back, while the 2GB RAM Smartphones generally cost over $200, are now being sold at as low price as $100.
Honor 3C was the first cheap 2GB RAM Android phone that lured buyers having a prices tag of around Rs 12000. People aggressively bought that phone, thinking it a great opportunity. Following Huawei, Xiaomi launched its Redmi Note at much lower price of around $150 that was available exclusively on Flipkart and remained out of range of many people around the country.
Taking on Xiaomi and Huawei, Lenovo launched A6000 Plus with 2GB RAM that was remarkably affordable than others available to be bought at Rs 7500. Before Lenovo got a lot of good talks, Coolpad, another Chinese player launched the cheapest to date 2GB RAM Android phone at a staggering low price of $100 (Rs 5999). Coolpad Dazen 1 is the first phone that brought down the cost of 2GB RAM cost below $100 in mobile world.

There is a tough head-to-head between Coolpad Dazen1 and Zen Sonic 1. There are some features where Dazen 1 beats Sonic 1 e.g. bigger battery, 4G support and better front facing camera. On the other hand Sonic 1 hits back at Dazen 1 sporting dual rear camera (supposedly using dual-lens technology with which images that are taken at some digital zoom are rather clear), having internal storage double that of Dazen1 and little more clock speed of processor (also it runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop).
