Apple iPhone 5c Review

8 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 67.7 / 100

Apple iPhone 5c is an incredible phone released many years ago, with an exceptional Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1.3 gigahertz, a 4-inches capacitive touch-screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.2 megapixels front camera.

Apple decided to equip this cellphone with a great 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core processor, included in the Apple A6 chip with only 1016 MB of RAM which is a little poor considering this cellphone's awesome processor. This device counts with a good 8 GB internal storage and while it doesn't have an SD memory card expansion slot, it should be enough to store hundreds of games and apps, although it may not be enough if you are fan of the heaviest games available nowadays.

This phone is offerred in many different colors like pink, yellow, green, blue and white. Talking about its construction materials, this phone is made with Polycarbonate. This cellphone feels a bit heavy for a cellphone this size, with a weight of 4.66 oz. This cellphone is very slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.2 MP front camera. It can also film videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. This camera also has a high number of amazing features like flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, time lapse video, HDR mode and geo tagging.

Apple packed the Apple iPhone 5c with a high-tech 4-inches screen, and a resolution of 1136 x 640 , making everything look completely perfect. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a brightness of 500 candela/m2 and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone packs a 1507 mAh medium sized Li-Ion non-removable battery providing this phone with a quite short battery life. This cellphone has an estimated stand by time of 250 hs and a talk time of 10 hours. A big issue to take into account is that this phone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to live shorter, making it necessary to replace the whole device.

This cellphone includes Wi-Fi connection (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) great performance data connection and also HSPA+ connection type, which is a lower speed 4G variation and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it can work with both CDMA and GSM networks.

The Apple iPhone 5c also features some interesting features such as Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The iPhone 5c is being sold for $ 270, expensive for a phone this level. No matter if you you love taking pictures, want a phone for playing games, want a phone for work or will use it as a social cellphone, you will definitely love this device. Apple also sells this phone with Documentation, Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Lightning to USB Cable and USB Power Adapter.
