Performance
The Archos 50d Helium operates on Android 5.1 Lollipop, an OS version commendable at its release time for its user-friendly interface and support features. At its heart is the Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 chipset, with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and an Adreno 305 GPU. This hardware configuration delivers a passable performance for basic smartphone tasks, though it may experience limitations with demanding applications or multitasking due to its 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD.
