Lenovo A8-50 A5500 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the Lenovo A8-50 A5500 is powered by a Mediatek MT8382 chipset. It features a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU paired with a Mali-400MP2 GPU. This combination was satisfactory for handling everyday tasks and casual gaming in 2014, but it may struggle with more demanding applications by modern standards. The device comes with 1 GB of RAM, which can be limiting for multitasking and running newer apps. Internal storage options were 8 GB or 16 GB, but the presence of a dedicated microSDHC slot allows users to expand storage, which is a practical feature given the limited built-in capacity.
