Answer –   Antutu score on our review unit is 20231 and 52.6 fps on Nenamarks 2. Day to day performance is mostly smooth, but we noticed some stuttering here and there. It is similar to most other Snapdragon 410 running phones in this regard, which means it isn’t blazing fast but good enough to get the job done.

Answer – Software is Android 4.4.4 KitKat based Cool UI. In aesthetics it is similar to most other Chinese ROMs. There are several customization options and features which makes Cool UI unique. Cool UI doesn’t seem inordinately heavy, but it is not as intuitive and as CyanogenMod or MIUI 6.

Conclusion

Coolpad Dazen X1 is one of those rare phones which offer 2 GB RAM support for under 7,000 INR. The low cost factor has to be considered while judging it. It offers sharp display and pretty good hardware on paper for its asking price, but will have a tough time beating its rivals.
