Performance
Under the hood, the LG Optimus F5 ran on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, powered by a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset. This included a dual-core 1.2 GHz Krait CPU and an Adreno 225 GPU. The combination enabled the phone to handle multitasking and general applications reasonably well, albeit with some limitations under more demanding conditions. With 1GB of RAM, users could expect a smooth experience for basic to moderate smartphone tasks, though the internal storage of 8GB necessitated the use of a microSDHC card for additional space.
