Spice mobiles is targeting Indian market with its Android smart phones.  Spice has recently tied up with Chinese smart phone manufacturer, Coolpad and now they have launched a co-branded Spice-Coolpad range of smart phones in Indian market.  In this article we will see a review of the Spice Coolpad MI-515 smart phone.

The Spice Coolpad MI-515 is the first mobile phone which has been introduced by Spice after their collaboration with coolpad company. 

 The  Spice Coolpad MI-515 has a 5 inch display with three capacitive touch buttons placed below the screen.  The ear piece, front facing camera and the proximity sensor sit on the top of screen.

There is a metallic blue frame around the mobile phone which adds to the aesthetic appeal.  The power key sits on the right side while the volume control button is located on left side. The micro USB and 3.5 mm audio jack can be seen on the top.


At the back you can see 5.0 Mega Pixel Camera with LED flash.  The Spice Coolpad MI-515 is a dual SIM (GSM-GSM) smart phone.  If one wants to change the SIM card, the device needs to be switched off, as the SIMs cannot be accessed without removing the battery.

The Spice Coolpad Mi-515 sports an IPS LCD 5.0-inch display with a resolution of 540x960 pixels that can be considered decent at this price range.   Viewing videos on Spice Coolpad Mi-515 was fun thanks to the 5.0-inch screen.
