Coolpad is bringing a wider-format phone to China with the ‘Cool X Wide,’ built for people who juggle several chat accounts or keep two apps open side by side. Its landscape-friendly design supports up to eight WeChat logins at once, giving account-heavy users a single device for work threads, personal messages and split-screen reading.
Its 16:10 aspect ratio and 90Hz refresh rate add horizontal space for documents while keeping app switching smoother. China preorders began Oct. 20, 2026, while a TF card slot for removable storage gives heavy messaging users extra space for files without moving everything to the cloud.
Eight WeChat logins and split-screen use position the ‘Cool X Wide’ toward niche productivity needs, not just general phone upgrades. China preorders keep that experiment local for now, but the device moves phone design toward the practical needs of users handling several messaging accounts.

Who This Affects Most
