Performance
Under the hood, the Alcatel Pop C5 runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, powered by a dual-core 1.3 GHz processor. While this setup is quite basic by today's standards, it is suitable for light usage, such as calling, texting, and using simple apps. Multitasking and running demanding apps can become a bottleneck, as the phone is equipped with only 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Thankfully, storage can be expanded via a microSDHC card slot, providing some relief for media storage.
