Smartphones are designed for multitasking and for running multiple apps which can be done smoothly with a powerful processor. Nowadays most of the devices use android with a 600 MHZ processor consisting of quite a low clock speed.

Storage capacity:

The speed of the phone depends on how fast the ROM (read only memory) and RAM (random access memory) are accessed by the processor. These are the locations where all necessary files of the operating system are present. While opting for a Smartphone 256 MB of ROM and RAM of 512 MB is advisable.
