ZTE Groove X501 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Groove X501 runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a platform which was quite dated even by its release. The device is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7627 Snapdragon S1 chipset, coupled with an 800 MHz CPU and Adreno 200 GPU. This combination supported basic applications, although it would struggle with more demanding tasks. The available 512MB of RAM paired with 1GB of internal storage (along with a microSDHC slot supporting expanded storage with a 4GB card included) allowed for limited app usage and data storage.
