Archos 50 Platinum Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Archos 50 Platinum is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8225Q Snapdragon S4 Play chipset coupled with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and an Adreno 203 GPU. This setup is notably modest and supports basic tasks such as web browsing and multimedia consumption without undue strain. However, more demanding applications or multitasking can lead to noticeable sluggishness. The phone runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, an iteration of the Android operating system that, while offering a solid user interface, lacks support for newer apps and security updates.
