Performance
Under the hood, the Lumia 505 is powered by the Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 chipset, with a single-core 800 MHz Cortex-A5 CPU and an Adreno 200 GPU. While modest, these specifications provided adequate performance for basic tasks such as calls, text messaging, and running certain applications from the Windows Phone Store at the time. However, this configuration struggles with more demanding applications, reflecting its status as an entry-level device. The phone includes 256MB of RAM, which limits multitasking capabilities.
