Performance
Under the hood, the device runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a Mali-400MP2 GPU. This combination is suitable for minimalistic tasks, such as browsing the web, checking emails, or running lightweight applications. However, the 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSDHC card slot, position the Viva C701 squarely for users with basic usage needs. Moving beyond core app functionality might lead to noticeable lag, especially in more demanding applications or multitasking scenarios.
