- Analysis by KJ David
The Coolpad Snap is a senior-friendly phone that was initially carried by T-Mobile and Sprint. Starting off with its cons, it offers a highly-dated 2-megapixel fixed focus camera 
that does not even come with an accompanying LED flash. In comparison, some of its rivals in the basic phone category come with higher-resolution and flash-rigged cameras.
Display-wise, it comes with a standard (within this category) 2.8-inch 320 x 240 QVGA screen, which is accompanied by a tiny 1.7-inch monochrome LCD external screen 
that displays the time and other notifications. Its biggest pro, however, is its 4G-LTE network connectivity , which, as of this specs-based review, was not a very common facet among basic clamshell phones.

The Snap also offers the VoLTE (voice over LTE networks) call audio technology, promising to deliver high-quality call audio when standard cellular reception is not accessible.
Looking into its pros and cons under the hood, this Coolpad model comes with a relatively strong processor for a flip phone of its caliber, in the form of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 210 quad-core 1.1GHz chip . That being said, it could certainly have done better than a measly 512MB RAM capacity .
The Snap is preloaded with 4GB of native memory, just like many of its low-tier competitors, but it does come with a microSD card tray for up to 32GB of external space. When it comes to stamina, its battery scores a so-so 6-hour talk time (360 minutes) and it lasts for up to 16 days on standby mode.
Also among its pros and cons is an M4/T4 hearing aid rating, a mobile hotspot function that allows up to eight other devices to access its 4G connectivity, and a classic Black finish.

At the end of the day, the Coolpad Snap is a typical flip phone for aging users and non-techies, with its 4G network reach and memory card support serving as a couple of appreciable touches.
On-paper Review rating: 
No specific pro stands out.
Don't expect stunning photos, considering that the Snap only boasts a 2-megapixel (fixed focus) camera.
