Performance
Under the hood, the BQ Aquaris M5 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU with a configuration of four 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 and four 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 cores. This setup, coupled with an Adreno 405 GPU, allows the device to handle everyday tasks with ease and offers smooth multitasking, especially given its option of either 2GB or 3GB RAM configurations. While initially running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, the OS is upgradable to Android 7.0 Nougat, keeping the software relatively current for its time.
