Performance
Under the hood, the Lenovo A5000 is powered by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a Mali-400MP2 GPU. It originally ran on Android 4.4.2 KitKat but was upgradable to Lollipop 5.0.2, providing a slight boost in performance and functionality with the software update. The device includes 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via a dedicated microSDHC slot. While its performance capabilities are modest, for basic texting, calling, and light app usage, it is sufficient.
