The power of these two models is provided by a quad-core processor with a speed of 1.3 GHz. This chip is combined with a RAM of 1 GB. A set without much fanfare but will allow us to deal with most apps and games platform Android. Speaking of Google system, Archos has chosen Android version 4.4 KitKat, one of the latest versions (although it is missing the mark would have bet directly by Android 5.0 Lollipop).

In the section of connections the major attraction of the Xenon is the fact integrate two SIM card slots, a useful tool for professionals who carry two phone lines in the same terminal feature. It also includes WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS to navigate anywhere. Another curiosity that leaves us these models is the difference between batteries.
