Plum Orbit Performance and Operating System

Performance and Operating System

Under the hood, the Orbit ran on Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread, powered by a Mediatek MT6516 chipset with a 416 MHz CPU. In its time, this combination was reserved for entry-level smartphones, providing sufficient performance for basic tasks such as calling, messaging, and light internet browsing. The reliance on Gingerbread—the then-widely used Android OS—ensured access to a broad range of apps, albeit with limitations in handling more demanding applications.
