Coolpad Snap slow performance
The coolpad snap works fine on a fresh reboot. After a day or two of normal use, everything slows to a crawl. The simplest act like waking up the screen takes 4-5 seconds. Dialing phone numbers is so slow that it doesn't register all my key taps. Unlocking the phone, same problem. Got to backtrack and start over. I know the phone operates on a slim customized android, so please include good memory management to prevent this. Good grief it's a flip phone..
It appears you disabled the worthless web browser on the phone. Step in the right direction. Please add a feature to replace it How about an audio streamer? The device is a functional hotspot, so adding a streaming capability would make it highly functional. dsub or something similar would be great.
FM Radio function is great! Please add a feature where the audio is piped through a Bluetooth connection instead of just the headphone. It would be nice to have the radio streaming through speakers when I'm working in my garage.
Please consider a development kit. Your product seems to be marketed toward kids but I'm 45 and find it plenty capable.

When I first bought the phone through T-Mobile (May 2019), the Web browser did NOT work, and it took hours of conversations with both T-Mobile support but mostly Coolpad Snap support.
The Web browser apparently had a problem on the "server side" as no changes were made to the firmware on the phone (that I'm aware of) but the Web browser has been working since summer 2019 -- on T-Mobile that is. It is working consistently ever since including today (March 2020).
I'm pretty happy with the phone and customer support -- although I wish they made it faster (CPU) and of more substantial quality. There IS a market for a decent flip phone based on a version of Linux. Yes. The Web browser and Internet access has limited usefulness, but I'm OK with that, personally.
The Coolpad Snap is not the only one out there, but they all appear to be at low price points (thus low quality) -- my main complaint.
Best wishes
