The Best $80 Android Phone! - Coolpad Legacy Brisa Performance Review By ETA PRIME

Hey, what's going on guys the CTA prime back here again today we're going to be taking a look at a really awesome: no-contract pay-as-you-go prepaid phone from boost mobile. This is known as the cool pad legacy breeze, and this is coming in at eighty dollars from boost mobile's website. I've also seen it at Walmart for eighty dollars now, if you're not familiar with these pay as you go or prepaid phones as I like to call them. Basically, you don't have to sign a contract. You buy the phone outright, and then you can sign up for service from let's say, boost mobile, because this is where this one's from you'll pay per month. They have tons of different plans, and you can use the phone on their network and in the past, a lot of these no contract phones were super low in but checking out the specs on the brisk.

Here it's actually looking perfect at that 80 price tag. I was really surprised on what they could pack into this thing in this video, I'm going to be testing out the performance of this device, we're going to run some benchmarks to some native android games, some emulation, maybe even some game streaming from Stadia or cloud, but along with the phone itself, you're also going to receive your charger and an USB type-c cable and, to my surprise, this actually supports Qualcomm, quick charge, and it comes with an 18 watt, quick charger in the box. Now, when checking out these cheaper phones, there's a few things that I look for the CPU and especially the display, and then this one here it looks great it's a 6.53 IPS display, but it supports HDR 10. So those colors are super rich on this thing, it's not an AMOLED display from Samsung or anything like that. Those are going to be much better, but at that 80 price tag.

This is a great display on this phone. So taking a look at the bottom of the phone here does support USB type c for charging and syncing, and it looks like it might have dual stereo speakers, but unfortunately, only one of these is a loudspeaker. The other one contains the microphone taking a look at the right hand, side of the unit. We have our standard power button and volume rocker on the top. We have two more pinhole microphones, and they've left the headphone jack for us.

So we still have that 3.5 millimeter audio jack over, on the left-hand side we have our sim slash micro, SD card slot, and I have tested up to a 128 gigabyte card in here, and it works just fine. Now, as for the specs on the cool pad legacy Marisa for the CPU, we have the snapdragon 665. This is an outscore arm CPU at two gigahertz, the GPU is the Arduino 610. We have three gigabytes of ram 32 gigabytes of internal storage, plus support for a micro SD card. The display is a 6.5 inch IPS at 2340x1080, and it does support hdr10 a 4000mah battery with support for 18 watt, quick charging, and it does come with an 18 watt, quick charger in the box, ac Wi-Fi. So we can pick up that five gigahertz network Bluetooth 5.0. As for the rear cameras, we have two a 16 megapixel and a five and the front camera is actually another 16 megapixel and the unit's running android 10 straight out of the box.

There's no word if it'll be upgraded to android 11 or not down the road. On paper, I mean this is looking perfect for an 80 phone, especially paired with that snapdragon 665. It's definitely not a top of the line chip, but I've tested more expensive phones with the 662 that have performed quite well at a higher price point. So I suspect that this is going to be a really nice little performing budget phone. So overall usability has been really great.

I mean it's super snappy, as you can see here. Like I mentioned, this is running android 10 and there is a bit of bloat there's no games or anything like that, but it did come pre-installed with a few extra applications that can be disabled or deleted like Amazon shopping, the boost, mobile, app, there's voicemail and there's a thanks app, because this does support thanks sound only through the headphone jack, but other than that. Like I mentioned, there's no games or anything and most of this stuff can be uninstalled or disabled, except for the boost mobile app and the thanks sound app. So as we know, this does have a hdr10 display in it and if we head over here to YouTube, we can get HDR videos, but the highest resolution is 1080p. This one is 1080p 60fps with HDR enabled go ahead and full screen it here now.

This does look perfect for a budget phone. I'm super surprised at how nice this screen is, and the sound isn't bad either. I'm not sure how well it's coming across on camera, but with that HDR enabled we get some really deep blacks and some awesome coloration with these videos. Taking a look at the settings in Netflix, we can get full HD video because we do have wide vine level 1, but unfortunately it doesn't support HDR, which is kind of odd because we do have a HDR display. So the next thing I wanted to do is run a few benchmarks.

So, first up we have geek bench 5 single core 308, multi 1320, definitely not flagship scores, but let's move over to 3dmart. We have slingshotted extreme. This is testing out OpenGL with a total score of 1153 and finally an tutu coming in with a total score of 168 350. So if we were looking at this as a more expensive phone, it definitely wouldn't be impressive, but I think these are some really decent scores for the price paid here now, it's time to move over to some native android gaming and see what we can play on this thing. First up we have Minecraft.

Now when I run this game on lower end devices, I usually have to go into the settings and turn fancy graphics off and also turn the chunks down. But with this one here, I didn't even have to open up the settings menu we're at 14 chunks with fancy graphics on, and it's running perfectly fine. So if you want to do Minecraft on something like this you're going to have no issue whatsoever next up, we have a racing game and I just chose this from the top charts. It's rebel racing, and it's fully playable looks great frame, rate's fine, moving up to something a little harder to run. We have Call of Duty mobile.

I turn the frame rate to maximum shadow's off, but I do have the graphics set to high, and it's running great here now when it comes to Call of Duty mobile. I do want to give the developers props they've optimized this very well for lower end devices. Furthermore, I've had perfect luck with it, but it's running really smooth here, as you can see, and finally, we have gentian impact, which is a pretty hard game to run now with this one here, I've set the frame rate to 30 and the graphics to low, but, as you can see, this is playable. It's actually running way smoother than I thought it would now. There's one issue with this game: you can't get it from Google play with this device for some reason it's incompatible.

I guess they think the device is too low in to run this game. So I had to side load this from Antoine and keep in mind. I mean the settings are on low, we're at 30fps, but to see it running this well without a ton of stutters is really impressive. In my opinion, moving over to a little of emulation. First up we have some dream cast, I mean if you want to do anything underneath dream cast, it's going to work out just fine, I'm using the refrain emulator here, I'm upscaled to 1280 by 960, and it's running great by the way.

The controller I'm using here is an USB type-c controller, and it's known as the racer fish. I got one more dream cast game to test here, and then we'll move up the PSP, so here's sonic adventure 2 running great, still, upscale to 1280 by 960 and, like I mentioned, if you want to do anything under dream cast, even n64, it's going to run flawlessly on this device. Next up, we have PSP using pass, I'm at 2x resolution with Baxter. Here I also tested a harder to emulate game and I did have to take the resolution down a little, but it still ran it really well, and we'll take a look at that next, I'm using the Vulcan back in, and I'm really impressed with PSP emulation on this device, the harder one that I tested here was ghost of Sparta. Instead of 2x.

I took it down to one, but we're at 60. Now, when it comes to the harder to emulate stuff like PS2 and 3ds, this device is gonna, be hard-pressed to run anything at full speed, but there are some game cube games that will be fully playable on this thing, like wind, water, using dolphin MNA, and the final thing I wanted to test here was a little of game streaming. I also tested out Stadia and GeForce now both work really well. Personally, I'm a big fan of cloud. So here we are streaming forza, horizon 4 from cloud.

It does have ac Wi-Fi. So I'm on my 5 gigahertz network and streaming works great. So in the end I think the cool pad legacy brisk is a really great budget device. Now, personally, I wouldn't pay over a hundred dollars for this device, even seeing the performance in this video, but, like I mentioned as making this video it's sitting at 80 bucks on boost mobile, and I think it's totally worth that price tag. We got that beautiful 6.5 inch, HDR 10 display 4 000 William hour battery 21 hours of talk time, and if you want to just do video playback on this, you can get around eight hours of video playback sitting around 40 brightness on this screen here. When gaming, it's going to be a bit different depending on what games you're running, because it definitely stresses out that CPU and GPU, which pulls more power, but it does support 18 watt, quick charging.

So you can get this thing back up pretty quickly. I think it's got great sound out of that single speaker and for 80 dollars. I can highly recommend this now on boost mobile's website. They say that this is normally 160, and personally I haven't seen it at 160. I've seen it at 80 and 100 since it's been released, but if it ever does go back up.

I couldn't recommend this at that 160 dollar price tag only at 80 to 100. Could I recommend this and at that price point it's really hard to complain on what we're getting here, but that's going to wrap it up for this video? I really appreciate you watching if you want to see anything else running on this device. Just let me know in the comments below and if you're interested in picking this up, I will leave some links in the description and like always, thanks for watching.
