LeEco Cool 1 Dual

Cool 1 Dual -  Collaboration of LeEco and Coolpad product

The growing trend among companies these days is to push the limits of what a smartphone camera can do. With obvious space constraints, one of the solutions was to opt for two camera lenses instead of one. What started off as a feature restricted to flagship-level smartphones, has since percolated down to more affordable smartphones. Coolpad and LeEco's joint effort, called the Cool 1 Dual, has made its way to India. The phone was announced back in August, soon after LeEco's CEO Jia Yueting took over as Chairman of Coolpad.
