Performance
Running on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the Alcatel Pop Star was driven by a MediaTek MT6580 chipset, a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz, and a Mali-400MP2 GPU. With 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, expandability was possible through a dedicated microSDHC slot. While it handled basic applications and functionalities competently, the performance was modest compared to contemporary mid-range or high-end smartphones. As such, it was primarily suited for users with minimal multitasking needs.
