Alcatel Idol 5s (USA) Performance

Performance

Underneath its sleek exterior, the Alcatel Idol 5s is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 chipset, boasting an octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and an Adreno 506 GPU. This hardware combination delivers reliable performance for day-to-day tasks and moderate gaming. It comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via a dedicated microSDXC slot. The use of eMMC 5.1 technology for its storage may not be the fastest option available, but it is adequate for this price range. The device operates on Android 7.1 Nougat, offering a user-friendly interface, though users may find it less appealing given the advancements in subsequent Android versions.
