Performance
Under the hood, the Celkon A500 hosted a Mediatek MT6572M chipset, alongside a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a Mali-400 GPU. This configuration, paired with 1GB of RAM, rendered the phone competent for basic operations. While the performance was not tailored for high-end gaming or resource-intensive applications, it handled everyday tasks like calling, texting, and light app usage satisfactorily. The device ran on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, a sensible choice at the time, ensuring users had access to a broad range of apps and services from the Google ecosystem.
