Apple iPhone 5c Review

A1456     See other variants reviews Score: 70 / 100

Apple iPhone 5c is a breath-taking phone released some years ago, in 2013, packed with a very powerful 1300 MHz Dual-Core processor, a medium 4" screen, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera.

Regarding its aspect, this device is majorly created with Polycarbonate. The iPhone 5c is very slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.35". This cellphone is sold in many different color variations like pink, yellow, green, blue and white. This time, it seems like Apple didn't care much about the weight in this 4.66 ounces cellphone.

The Apple iPhone 5c is equipped with an astonishing 1136 x 640 4-inches display, which makes all images and videos look completely perfect. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with an incredible 500 candela/m2 brightness and can detect multi touch gestures.

The iPhone 5c comes with a Apple A6 system chip, including a high performance 1300 megahertz Dual-Core processor and only 1016 MB RAM which is a little bit low for a cellphone of this quality. An amazing feature of the iPhone 5c is its 32 GB inmense internal storage and though it doesn't come with an external memory card slot, it it is more than enough to store tons of apps, games, pictures and videos without thinking about how much storage capacity is left.

The iPhone 5c is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.2 megapixels front camera. This phone also shoots 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, this phone's camera also includes lots of useful features like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, time lapse video, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This device offers Wi-Fi connection (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) great performance data connection and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a slower 4G type and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card to use GSM services and it can connect using both GSM and CDMA carriers.

The Apple iPhone 5c also comes with some cool features such as Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone has a mid capacity 1507 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will need to charge it after some moderate use. Apple informs a 250 hs stand by time and a 10 hs talk time for this phone. A possible problem to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, leaving no choice but to buy a new phone.

The iPhone 5c costs 300 dollars, quite high for this type of phone. No matter if you need a cellphone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a device for work, are a photography fan or want this phone to play games, this cellphone is probably a good choice for you. Apple packs this cellphone with Lightning to USB Cable, USB Power Adapter, Documentation and Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic.
