Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   Coolpad  is looking to take a bigger share of the U.S. market with family friendly and affordable devices.   The company’s new Legacy smartphone…features a big screen and battery to get you through the day, Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0…and plenty of storage and a MicroSD memory card slot for up to 128 gigabytes more.   And it sells for under 130 dollars at Metro by T-Mobile.    Coolpad Americas head of communications Aaron Baker..     

“I think what a lot of OEMs are doing now is their throwing everything and the kitchen sink in the device.   They’re saying hey, you need this and you need this amazing camera and this amazing battery and 6 gigabytes of RAM …and oh, by the way, the phone is a thousand dollars.  What we found is that consumers tend to focus on one or two key features.”

So if you’re looking to equip a family…or avoid those monthly payments for a device, the Coolpad Legacy is worth a look.
