Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Alcatel Idol 5 operates on Android 7.1 Nougat. While this version of Android may seem outdated, it provides a smooth user interface and supports essential functionalities for moderate smartphone users. The device is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and a Mali-T720MP3 GPU. This combination ensures decent performance for handling daily applications and moderate multitasking. There is 16GB of internal storage paired with 3GB RAM, which together enhance usability for general tasks but may limit extensive media storage; however, it can be expanded via a dedicated microSDXC slot, allowing for flexibility.
