Maxwest Astro 5 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the Maxwest Astro 5 uses a Mediatek MT6582M chipset coupled with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and Mali-400MP2 GPU. While this setup suffices for general tasks such as browsing, social media, and light applications, it may struggle with more demanding applications and multitasking. The device originally comes with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSDHC card, which users will likely need given the limited onboard storage.
