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 alps K8 is built around the MT6755 (Helio P10), an entry-level SoC from MediaTek. It launched in 2015 on a TSMC 28nm HPC process. Sold as the Helio P10; mass-deployed in 2016 mid-range phones.
Legacy. Slow for modern workloads.
Day-to-day workload
3 GB LPDDR3 of RAM is below the realistic minimum for current Android — expect Android to aggressively kill background apps. Display resolution is 1280x800.
This record reflects Android API level 28 (9). Android 8–9 — legacy; many banking and DRM apps drop support at this level.
Trust & buying notes
If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a alps K8, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "alps"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with MT6755 (Helio P10). For an automated check, run our Hardware Trust Score from the DevCheck AI app and compare its output against this entry.
Because this entry runs Android 9, treat it as a reference for older inventory: refurb shops sometimes flash old firmware to make a device look "stock," so a modern build date with this API level is a red flag.
