Performance
Powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processor on a Mediatek MT6589 chipset, the Idol Alpha offers satisfactory performance for everyday tasks. Its PowerVR SGX544 GPU delivers adequate graphics performance for casual gaming and media consumption. The device, however, runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which may feel outdated compared to current standards. With 1GB of RAM, multitasking capabilities are limited, and users might experience some sluggishness with resource-intensive apps. The internal storage is capped at 16GB, and the absence of a memory card slot restricts expandability, which could be a limitation for users who store a lot of media on their phones.
