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 fly FS501 is built around the SC8830, a budget SoC from Spreadtrum. It launched in 2014 on a TSMC 28nm HPC process. Ultra-budget Spreadtrum 3G SoC, common in cheap rebranded Android phones.
Legacy. Only basic phone use is realistic.
Day-to-day workload
Display resolution is 854x480.
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 fly FS501, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "fly"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with SC8830. 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.
