Performance
Powered by the Mediatek MT6575 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and PowerVR SGX531 GPU, the Huawei Ascend G500 was engineered to handle everyday tasks with reasonable smoothness. Equipped with Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the phone offered a user-friendly interface with access to a multitude of apps from the Google Play Store. While the 1GB RAM supported multitasking to an extent, users might have noticed occasional lags with resource-intensive applications.
