Performance
Under the hood, the Alcatel OT-997 is powered by a Mediatek MT6577 chipset, a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, and a PowerVR SGX531u GPU. It originally runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), a platform known for its user-friendly interface and smooth performance. The device comes with 4GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, which was modest even at the time of its release but sufficient for basic smartphone functions. The inclusion of a microSDHC card slot for expandable storage is a significant advantage for users needing more room for apps, photos, and music.
