Display
Intex Cloud Tread features a 5 inch IPS display. It has a screen resolution of 1080 x 720 pixels (HD) and a pixel density of 294 ppi. The viewing angles are not very good to be precise but the display is sharp. Colour reproduction is also good and the display is visible in bright sunlight with full-brightness. Overall the display is good considering it’s a budget device.
Camera Overview
Intex Cloud Tread is equipped with a 5 megapixel rear camera and 5 megapixel front camera. The rear camera has got an auto-focus and LED flash. It features Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, panorama and HDR. The camera performance in natural light is good and the images were sharp and detailed considering its a budget device.
On the front it is equipped with a 5 MP shooter.
Gaming Performance
Intex Cloud Tread comes with a hardware that looks good enough on paper for a budget segment device. But as you know, we never believe it until we experience it. So I decided to play few games like Asphalt Nitro and Dead Trigger-2 on this phone with high graphic settings, full volume and brightness.
During the game-play of 60 minutes, I experienced occasional freezing of frames and lags. Still both the games Both games ran quite fine and all graphics were rendered in the real time. As far as heating is concerned, I was really impressed as it is quite minimal.

Conclusion
Intex Cloud Tread features a very decent specification overall. It has got a nice display, nice camera, good built and also performs quite decent in day to day usage. Since is also priced fairly reasonable, we can’t really complain about what it offers. The only thing we missed in the device is the 4G support. When today everyone is migrating to the 4G network, this phone really don’t do justice in this field. Overall it’s a nice phone with nice price tag but lacks 4G capability.
