MT6595 Antutu, Release info & Coolpad F2 / F1S

China news is touting Coolpad to be one of the first out the door with an MT6595 SoC product. It was initially reported by several news outlets that Coolpad was going to release their Coolpad F2 with MT6595, though it looks now that there may be a bit of a twist.

Assuming its not PhotoShopped, here is what appears to be a Coolpad Antutu score of MT6595.

The good news is that the next major Coolpad release will certainly be supporting LTE/4G. However, current China rumor mill puts forth a couple of plausible scenarios:

  • Coolpad F2 “low version” may be coming with MT6592+MT6290 LTE/4G radio and a “high version” with MT6595
  • A “Coolpad F1S” MT6592+MT6290 “Coolpad F2” released with MT6595 SoC

The difference between the 2 obviously being only in the naming of the 2 models.

MediaTek officials have confirmed that MT6595 products will begin to arrive in bulk in August and September; regardless of who gets to the gate first with a mass produced MT6595 phone, they should be arriving within this quarter.

    This seems poor info Damian. What size are these phones? Battery sizes. Which glass how many pixels etcetera.

      If I had that information, it would be in the article.

      If you’ve followed Gizbeat (or indeed technology / electronics at all), often these things start as just barely leaked info, then a bit more is known and a bit more. Until the manufacturer finally releases the official information.

      Some sites are unfortunately made up entirely of these types of ‘poor’ articles. Don’t look down on Gizbeat for sprinkling a few in once in awhile. I normally do it when it’s of at least some interesting tidbit to me, hopefully to the readers as well.

      Regards

    As replied to admin:
    “Sorry,
    didn’t mean to be seen as looking down on site. I love it. I think Damian could have given more info though. From looking in other sites it will probably be a 5.5 inch screen. But I still know little else about it.”
    However, if I could get what I wanted it would be 6.5 inch, at least gorilla 3 glass with a mediatek 6795 chip. 3g ram, 32gb rom micro sd card up to 2tb wacom stylus and cover these australian frequencies
    3G
    900MHz, 2100MHz
    4G
    700Mhz, 900Mhz, 1800Mhz, 2100Mhz, 2300Mhz and 2600 in fdd and tdd.
    Which I doubt the mt6290 covers. It may but I cannot find anywhere which states exact frequencies.
    cheers,
    Mike

      You know little about it because the information has not been released yet by Coolpad. There are only slight leaks here and there.

      MT6290 is fully capable of all LTE bands and modes. It is up to the manufacturer and licensing restrictions as to which are included in each individual phone model.

    What licensing restrictions would take place to disable manufacturers from enabling all frequencies? Although the world is already china’s oyster. Wouldn’t that make it more so?

      Hi Mike,

      Same as in USA or most anywhere else, to be “official” they need to apply for different network and frequency usage and receive approval and certification from the various licensing bodies. Also, it may cost additional money for modems configured for each additional band…Both in terms of the actual hardware and licensing.

    Thanks,
    due to 6795 & mt6290 capabilities wouldn’t it be easy to manufacture all arm processored phones with the mt6290 and just release them with all enabled freqencies and modes in china as an international model. Then we can buy one from the probable many chinese manufacturer/sellers online. My great samsung note 3 is hopefully my last Samsung. If the 6795 has ant+ and bluetooth 4 smart ready which I think it has it seems incongruous to pay $700 or more for a smartphone from samsung htc lg etcetera when I can probably have as good for $400 maximum out of one of the many excellent chinese firms. I am assuming some of the them manufacture for some of the other names anyway. I bought my note 3 from a hongkong firm, international lte edition. Unfortunately this year it will be short of some optus frequencies. Next year many. An excellent phone but not quite as useful.

      Please see my previous reply. They need to apply and gain approval from the various licensing bodies. Each band applied for probably costs additional money, as well the actual hardware itself (modem from MediaTek) costing more when including additional bands.

      Don’t get me wrong Mike. I am 100% with you on looking forward to global 3g/4g coverage in moderately priced China phones.

    I am hoping it is this year not next year. Could be, due to 6795 plus 6290. The 6795 has a modem, lte fdd tdd r9 cat4,hspa+ 42/11 mbps td-scma.. This however doesn’t cover all frequencies so I hope a chinese processor manufacturer releases a new chip covering all frequencies(6797?) so manufacturers don’t have to skip frequencies or add the mt6290 to get them all. Won’t be long before we all plug our phones into a dock with a large hard drive and big monitor. I am sure some of us already do. I wonder which OS. Android, Windows 9, Ubuntu, some other linux, some BSD except appple’s ? Interesting.

      @mike: I think it was not because of chip, every frequency need specific antenna tuned for included freq. You could use a jack of all trade antenna, but the signal gain would be significantly smaller. There is some tradeoff here. A friend of mine has cheap phone with limited freq support, and guess what, his phone have stronger signal. In his room, all my flagship which have many freq support often didn’t get 3g coverage while his has stable connection.

      Coolpad f1 is a well build phone, on par with thl t11 build quality. And guess what, it take better pic than my xiaomi mi3 which almost price twice($163 vs $290). I have big expectation for coolpad f2.

      @Damian: did u know that now THL T11 came with real 13mp sensor. It has 13mp written near the lens, not 8mp. I just recieved it yesterday after almost a month. The rear camera is obviusly better than xiaomi redmi note.

        widh61 I am in Australia I am not with our main phone company Telstra but the 2nd Optus. Kingtel in the rest of Asia I think. What I stated is what I need. Few oz frequencies on most Chinese phones. Antenna makes no difference without right frequencies.

          By the way widh61, I appreciate your reply. Thanks. And I meant singtel not kingtel.
          cheers,

            No prob. Hahhaha, I was wondering what kind of carrier kingtel is.

            I was tickering with nvram yesterday, I think there is a way to modify frequency. But the signal strenght would be bad.

            If you still loking a reasonable priced phone with great coverage try thl t11. Last time I got it @$207 shipped, on a par with coolpad in build quality. For $40 more(duh!) you get nfc, more battery cap., backcase, earpiece, two nfc sticker. The latest batch has true 13mp sensor vs 8mp on prev. batch.

            I also should mention that the screen is great. The downside is the phone is a bit long and square, and the external speaker could be a bit louder. I currently use xiaomi mi3, after around 2 month, I still feel square shaped phone is not comfortable to use. It easier to got my finger stiff.
