1. Device Brand Model: SAMSUNG A32
OS: Android 11 with One UI 3.1 Upgradeable to Android 13 with One UI 5.1
OS version build: Android 11 with One UI 3.1
Size of RAM: 4, 6 or 8 GB RAM
Processor: MediaTek Helio G80 (12nm) SoC with octa-core CPU (2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 + 6x1. 8
GHz Cortex-A55)
Display Quality: FHD+ Super AMOLED display
2. A) It offers a decent performance for its price range, equipped with a MediaTek Helio G80
processor that handles everyday tasks and light multitasking efficiently. Its 6GB of RAM supports
smooth app usage, though it may struggle with more demanding applications or intensive
gaming. The device’s performance is complemented by a vibrant Super AMOLED display,
providing a satisfactory overall user experience for its segment
B) Yes, the OS significantly impacts the overall experience of a device, as it dictates the user
interface, app compatibility, and system optimizations. A well-optimized OS can enhance
performance, improve battery life, and provide a more intuitive user experience. A poorly
designed or outdated OS can lead to sluggish performance, frequent bugs, and a less
satisfying interaction with the device
C) Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, Roblox, Wildrift, and Picsart are resource-intensive apps that
demand significant processing power, memory, and graphics capabilities. Their complex
graphics, frequent updates, and real-time interactions require substantial CPU and GPU
resources, which can strain a device’s performance. Additionally, these apps often run
background processes and require large amounts of storage, further impacting overall system
speed and responsiveness
D) Yes, there is a relationship between the processor and the display quality of a device. A more
powerful processor can handle higher resolutions and advanced display features, such as
higher refresh rates and better color accuracy, without compromising performance.
Conversely, a weaker processor may struggle to support high-quality displays effectively,
leading to potential lag or reduced visual performance
E) Upgrading the processor would typically offer the most significant improvement in overall
performance, as it directly influences speed, multitasking capability, and handling of
demanding applications. While OS and Ram are also crucial, a faster processor can better
leverage upgrades in these areas, ensuring a smoother experience. Thus, prioritizing a
processor upgrade can provide a more substantial boost in device performance and efficiency
3. A) UNIX
B) UNIX V7
C) Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie

E) UNIX is made up of 3 main parts: the kernel, the shell, and user commands and applications.
The kernel and shell are the heart and soul of the operating system. The kernel ingests user
input via the shell and accesses the hardware to perform things like memory allocation and
file storage
F) What makes UNIX unique is its simplicity, portability (the ability to run on many different
systems), multitasking and multiuser capabilities, extensive library of software and
hierarchical file system
