Performance
Under the hood, the BQ Aquaris U2 is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8940 Snapdragon 435 chipset, an octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and an Adreno 505 GPU. This hardware specification delivers adequate performance for daily tasks such as messaging, social media, and moderate app use. It also handles casual gaming with reasonable efficiency, though it's not designed for heavy gaming loads. The phone originally comes with Android 7.1.2 (Nougat) but is upgradable to Android 8.0 (Oreo), allowing users to benefit from improved system functionalities and security features.
