Questions people ask

How much RAM does the Smart 5 have?
At least 2 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the Smart 5 run?
It came with Android 10. A version older than 10 means a different phone.

Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real Smart 5, for free.
