Cheap Coolpad Splatter is the newest unlocked Android Nougat phone released in the US

Coolpad, which you may know as the maker of various affordable smartphones sold via T-Mobile, this week released a new Android handset that's being offered unlocked in the US. Called Coolpad Splatter, the new phone can be bought from Amazon for $139.99.

The Coolpad Splatter doesn't seem to have any particular strengths, other than being a cheap, decent handset. The smartphone sports a 5.5-inch IPS display with 720 x 1280 pixels, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor aided by 2 GB of RAM. On the back, the device has an 8 MP camera with LED flash, while the front hosts a 5 MP selfie camera. Moreover, you're getting 16 GB of expandable storage space, and a 2500 mAh battery.

Coolpad says the Splatter supports Amazon's Alexa digital assistant, but it's not clear if this is available out of the box (the phone's product page at Amazon doesn't mention Alexa at all). In any case, the handset runs Android 7.0 Nougat, and is compatible with GSM/LTE carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Cricket. Any buyers here?
