Chinese handset-maker Coolpad, has launched their latest Max smartphone in India for ₹24,999. It will on Amazon from May 30.

The Coolpad Max has the tagline 'dual in one' for its unique SIM management system.The smartphone will allow consumers to use dual accounts for WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The idea is to separate your work and home phone without having to juggle devices.

The private mode will let you manage the phone like an ordinary Android phone, but the work mode will allow enterprises to keep their data encrypted and secure.
