Performance
Under the hood, the Alcatel Hero 2 is driven by a Mediatek MT8392 chipset with an octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor. This might not sound cutting-edge by today’s standards, but it provided adequate performance for multitasking and daily app usage in 2014. Paired with 2 GB of RAM, the phone managed to handle most tasks with relative ease, though more demanding applications and games might have pushed its capabilities at the time. The device ran on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, a significant version of Android during its release that supported a host of apps and features across Google’s ecosystem.
