Coolpad India has already put in some serious pressure on the other competitor brands with just two releases in the past couple of months. It is the same Note 3 series that has seen two phones, the Coolpad Note 3 and the Coolpad Note 3 Lite. While the Note 3 was certainly the best budget phone of 2015 for us, the Lite isn’t really lite, as mentioned in our review.
Let’s compare to check how one outperforms the other in certain aspects that are important to the end buyers. To start with the pricing, the Coolpad Note 3 comes at Rs. 8999, while the Note 3 Lite has a price tag of Rs. 6999.

What’s the difference between Coolpad Note 3 and Note 3 Lite?
So, we’ve seen how similar are these phones in several features, so you wouldn’t see a lot of differences but the ones they are different in, these could be the deciding ones.
- Screen size: It is a 5.5-inch display size on the Coolpad Note 3 while the Lite variant is just a bit smaller with a 5-inch display
- Processor: Not a small one, since the Note 3 has an octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor while the Note 3 Lite has a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor powering it
