Coolpad to intro first 5G smartphones in Indian market

Coolpad, a leading global smartphone brand established by Yulong Group, is set to revolutionize the Indian smartphone industry by launching the country’s first 5G-ready smartphones. The brand, which has established itself as a synonym for innovation and progress, has been investing significantly in 5G since 2012. As a result, it is ready to disrupt the market with future-ready devices as soon as the 5G network is set up for use in the country.

Coolpad India has already filed over 800 patents in the name of 5G. It has also been granted 120 device-to-device 5G patents, which put the brand in the position to gain an early-mover’s advantage as far as 5G is concerned. The brand is in discussions with Qualcomm and Mediatek on the integration of 5G technology in its smartphones.

Fisher Yuan, CEO, Coolpad India, said: “Since its inception, Coolpad India has aimed to satiate the needs of the value-conscious Indian consumers who expect remarkable specifications at budget-friendly prices. In line with our constant endeavor to exceed customer expectations that we have accelerated the development and launch of our 5G ready devices in the country. Depending on the readiness of the 5G network in India, we are aiming to launch these devices early next year.”

Pankaj Upadhyay, Online Business Head, Coolpad India, added: “With the rapid growth of the Indian smartphone industry in the recent years, we too have started to change its era after the launch of Cool 3 Plus. Consumer-oriented R&D is our top priority at Coolpad. Therefore, we are working to expedite the launch of the 5G-enabled smartphones and aiming for a higher share in its development. As soon as the Indian smartphone network is ready, we will launch our first 5G smartphones.
