Performance
Under the hood, the Archos 53 Platinum is powered by the Qualcomm MSM8225Q Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, coupled with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and Adreno 203 GPU. Running on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, the phone provided a smooth operating system experience suitable for handling simple tasks like browsing, messaging, and casual apps. However, the 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage may limit its ability to perform with more demanding applications, pushing users toward utilizing the microSDHC slot for additional storage needs.
