Performance
Running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the Noir A500 is powered by a Mediatek MT6589M chipset featuring a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a PowerVR SGX544 GPU. This combination, at the time, was sufficient for handling everyday tasks like browsing, social media, and basic apps. However, the 512MB RAM was quite limiting even in 2013, restricting multitasking capabilities and overall system fluidity. The 4GB of internal storage is minimal, necessitating the use of a microSDHC card for expanding storage, especially if one needs to store photos, apps, or media.
