What this hardware actually means

Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.

Platform & performance positioning

The metropcs LGMS550 is built around the Snapdragon 430, an entry-level SoC from Qualcomm. It launched in 2016 on a Samsung 28nm HPM process. Budget 2017-era SoC; the workhorse of the Redmi 4 and Moto E4 Plus.

Legacy. Not recommended for any modern use.

Day-to-day workload

2 GB LPDDR3 of RAM is below the realistic minimum for current Android — expect Android to aggressively kill background apps. Display resolution is 1199x720.
