Performance
Operating on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, the Oppo R601 features a Mediatek MT6515 chipset paired with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and a PowerVR SGX531 GPU. These components provide the necessary power for basic tasks and applications, though more demanding apps and games might challenge the phone’s capabilities. The internal storage is capped at 4GB, with around 2GB available to the user. However, the inclusion of a dedicated microSDHC card slot allows users to expand storage, which was an important consideration for users with larger media libraries or app needs. The 512MB of RAM suggests limited multitasking capacities, typically supporting simple applications of the time with some effort required for switching between them.
