Price
Winner – Coolpad Note 3
Coolpad Note 3 is the cheapest of all the 4 phones given. You can grab it by shelling out just $140 / Rs 8999. At this price, this device is almost a masterpiece coming with a 5.5 inches HD display, compact design, and a 13MP decent primary camera. It boasts the same SoC as Lenovo K4 Note has, MediaTek 6753 (1.3GHz octacore cpu and Mali T720MP3). 3GB RAM, 3000 mAh battery and 5MP front camera are the other sparkling features of Coolpad Note 3. All these superb features seems so diminished when it comes to its fingerprint reader that it is mounted on its rear. It is fairly fast and you can lock apps with it, too.
Software
Winner – Coolpad Note 3 and Huawei Honor 5X
Coming to software, CoolPad’s Cool UI and Huawei’s EMUI are far better than Le 1S’s eUI and Lenovo’s Vibe UI. Both these custom-Android ROMs offer many cool features and are optimized to work on row RAM and CPU.
On the other hand we have experienced a little lag in Lenovo K4 Note while browsing the phone. eUI (Le 1S) consumes RAM voraciously.
Processing power
Winner – LeEco Le 1S
In this category, there’s no two ways about it that the LeEco Le 1S is the winner. It ships with an extremely powerful 2.2 GHz Helio X10 (MediaTek) CPU clocked at 2.2 GHz. Besides Le 1S is also the cheapest phone- available for only $160/Rs 11000- that possesses a Helio X10 (equivalent to Snapdragon 810) processor.
Camera
Winner – Honor 5X / Le 1S
All the 4 phones sport a 13MP primary camera and the image quality is also almost similar. However, Honor 5X performs slightly better than others’. Le 1S wins the race in video recording part as it can record 4K videos and it supports slow motion video recording, too.
