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 N960 is built around the MT6582, a budget SoC from MediaTek. It launched in 2013 on a TSMC 28nm process. Cheap 4-core SoC of the early-2010s feature-phone-replacement wave.

Legacy. Calls and SMS only.

Day-to-day workload

1 GB LPDDR2 of RAM is insufficient for modern Android. Display resolution is 1280x800.

This record reflects Android API level 19 (4.4). Android 7 or older — effectively retired; very few modern apps will run, and Google Play Services support is limited.

Trust & buying notes

If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a alps N960, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "alps"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with MT6582. 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 4.4, 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.
