Apple iPhone 5c Review

A1507     See other variants reviews Score: 70 / 100

Apple iPhone 5c is a totally amazing device released in 2013, counting with an extremely powerful 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core CPU, a medium 4-inches touch-screen, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 1.2 megapixels front side camera. Let's take a better view of what this cellphone can give us.

Apple ships this phone with a very fast 1300 MHz Dual-Core CPU, packed into the Apple A6 chip with only 1016 MB RAM memory which is a little poor for such a solid cellphone. A great feature of this phone is its large 32 GB internal memory and although it doesn't come with a slot for SD memory cards, it it is more than enough to install tons of apps, games, songs, pictures and videos without thinking about how much storage is left.

Apple made this phone in a variety of colors: pink, yellow, green, blue and white. Apple didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.66 oz cellphone. The iPhone 5c is thin and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. About its body design materials, this phone is mostly made of Polycarbonate.

Apple equipped the iPhone 5c with a completely amazing 4 inches display, and a 1136 x 640 resolution, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels in the display. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a great 500 candela/m2 brightness and can detect multi touch gestures.

This phone features Wi-Fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance connection and also HSPA+ data connection, that is a bit slower 4G type and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers and it can connect to both CDMA and GSM.

The iPhone 5c features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. It is also able to capture videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second. This camera also has lots of cool characteristics like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, geo tagging and time lapse video.

This cellphone also includes a couple of nice features such as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Apple iPhone 5c has a mid sized 1507 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. Apple informs a 250 hours stand by time and a 10 hours talk time for this cellphone. A big issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it starts to last shorter, making it necessary to change the whole device.

This device might not be such a good choice considering it is priced $ 300, and many similar cellphones are quite cheaper than that. The iPhone 5c is definitely a very good choice for you no matter if you want it to take lots of photographs, want a social phone, want it for work or want this cellphone to play games. If you buy this phone you also receive Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Documentation, USB Power Adapter and Lightning to USB Cable.
