While the rear camera and LED flash are visible at the top middle, with the Coolpad logo sitting underneath. The dual antenna lines also adds to the beauty of the device, as it measures 8.1 mm in thickness and available in only Gold color.

With a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and 294 pixel per inch density, the details on the screen should be clear enough for users. Additionally, the screen stretches up to 68.80% screen to body ratio.
