Having compared all these devices with Coolpad Note 3, I still would recommend Coolpad Note Lite as the featured alternatives lack some of the features that Coolpad offers you.

Coolpad Note 3 is one of those phone that has better specification with budget price. But the camera doesn't stand up to expectations compared to other brands at that price.

Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL : This is one good device if you are trying to find alternative to coolpad in terms of specifications alone. The device has 5.5' display. The best part is 13 MP Primary Camera. If you compare the camera quality with coolpad you'd find the zenfone much better. It is dual SIM phone with other hardware specifications pretty much on the same or slightly different.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 : Xiaomi has much better quality of the camera images compared to the Coolpad. The device has 5.5'' display IPS LCD. The device has MIUI 7 with latest android version. Also the network specifications include 4G LTE support. It has good battery performance as per reviews.

There are many other good phones within the budget range. I found Asus Zenfone and Redmi note 3 a good alternative for the Coolpad Note 3 device.

As per my opinion and my friends practical usage experience of the various Smartphones including Coolpad Note 3 Lite or Coolpad Note 3 etc. the cheap and best performance gadgets still are Coolpad Note 3 Lite or Coolpad Note 3 without any doubt. If you compare these beautiful handsets against other brand devices, whether it could be of Honor or Lenovo or even Samsung series, you will still like these Coolpad gadgets only.

Honor Holly though it comes nearest price but the performance comparison between these two (Honor Holly vs Coolpad Lite), you will still like the latter (Coolpad Lite) one. The 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM is still incomparable with other device. Prices too beside their real performances. Meizu also brought similar range device but still the first one gives lot of impression and the best result. So, you can still go with the first one.
