CoolPad Dazen Note 3 with fingerprint sensor priced under Rs 10,000

When iPhone 5S was launched, the TouchID fingerprint sensor was its highlighting feature. Samsung, HTC and other brands soon followed with fingerprint sensor-touting flagship smartphones. Recently OnePlus 2 brought the fingerprint sensor to the mid-range segment of the Indian market, but Chinese brand CoolPad is making the biometric scanner accessible to budget buyers with its upcoming Dazen Note 3 smartphone.

In a statement, CoolPad said it will launch the Dazen Note 3 with a fingerprint sensor under Rs 10,000. At this price, Dazen Note 3 will be the cheapest smartphone with fingerprint scanner in the market.

Dazen Note 3 has a 5.5-inch HD (720p) and packs 16GB of internal storage as well as 3,000mAh battery. It features a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front-facing camera. The smartphone supports 4G and 3G on both sim card slots.

The smartphone, which has already been launched in China, comes with 2GB RAM, but CoolPad India CEO Varun Sharma suggests that the company may upgrade the memory to 3GB. However, the company has not yet given a specific timeline for the launch of the smartphone.

The company claims to have received 2.6 million pre-orders for Dazen Note 3 in a week in the Chinese market.

Coolpad entered the Indian market in May this year with its Dazen 1 and Dazen X7 smartphones. It has an exclusive partnership with online marketplace Snapdeal in the country.
