Critic reviews
No Compass Score yet. We calculate one once enough reviews include a score.
“The Coolpad Catalyst is a disappointment. This phone may cost only $100, but it's not worth that much. The hardware is uninspired and looks cheap. The rough rear panel is questionable. The screen is simply awful. Data performance was sluggish. The camera is practically useless. Did I mention that the screen sucks? On the upside, battery life is decent. Moreover, phone call quality is one of the Catalyst's only redeeming features: voice calls are superb. It's nice to see stock Android, but Lollipop doesn't taste good any more.”

I owned this phone in 2017 with Metro PCS and it drove me absolutely nuts. I tried making calls and it would end the call by itself. Its performance was at a snail's pace. Other times its performance was wonky when it was not slow. I had enough of this phone one day when it was slow. I snapped an...
Sluggish performance. It takes seconds to switch or open between apps. Slow in general. When typing it freezes for a second or two sometimes. The screen has a tint that gives you a one-way only hold for best viewing on landscape. Run out of internal space for apps fast because only 8 gb for entir...

Hi Lion. Did you recently install apps? If you did, try to uninstall them and observe if this still happens. Also, check both audio port and charging port, make sure they are clean. I want you to check both audio and charging port because I read from anothe user that dusts settled inside those ports which caused the phone think that the phone is docked.
