Performance
Powered by a 680 MHz ARM 11 CPU and supported by a Broadcom BCM2727 GPU, the Nokia C7 Astound was equipped to handle the Symbian^3 operating system, later upgradable to Nokia Belle. While not the most powerful configuration of its time, it offered satisfactory performance for regular smartphone tasks. The inclusion of 256MB RAM and 8GB internal storage, expandable via a microSDHC card, provided enough space and speed for basic applications, though it might struggle with more demanding apps or multitasking common in more recent devices.
