Apple iPhone 5c Review

A1529     See other variants reviews Score: 70 / 100

Apple iPhone 5c is a great device launched some years ago, in 2013, which features a medium sized 4" screen, a high speed Dual-Core processor speeding at 1300 MHz, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.2 megapixels front-facing camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this phone has to offer.

Apple ships this phone with a Apple A6 system chip, packing an exceptional 1300 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit with only 1016 MB RAM which is a bit low considering its awesome processing power. A great advantage of the iPhone 5c is the 32 GB astonishing internal storage and although it doesn't count with a slot for an external memory card, it is still enough to store lots of apps, games, songs, photos and videos without having to worry about how much storage is left.

It appears that Apple didn't care so much about the weight in this 4.66 oz cellphone. This device is offerred in many color variations: pink, yellow, green, blue and white. Regarding its construction, this phone is majorly created with Polycarbonate. This phone has a beautiful design, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches.

Apple packed the iPhone 5c with a incredible 4-inches display, and a 1136 x 640 resolution, which makes all images and videos look amazing. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a very high 500 candela/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This phone counts with WiFi connection (which can be shared with other devices acting as a wireless router or modem), LTE (4G) high speed connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, a lower speed 4G type and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device uses a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it can connect using both CDMA and GSM.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 1.2 MP front-facing camera. This device can also capture videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. In addition, the camera counts with a high number of amazing characteristics like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, time lapse video, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This cellphone also comes with a handful of cool characteristics like Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone uses a 1507 mAh medium Li-Ion non-replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a consuming phone like this. This cellphone has an aproximate talk time of 10 hours and a stand by time of 250 hs according to Apple. A key issue to take into account is that the iPhone 5c's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it begins to last shorter, having to buy a new phone to "solve it" or maybe take it to someone who can dismantle it and replace its battery.

This phone is being sold for 209 dollars, which is quite high for a phone this level. No matter if you are looking for a cellphone to mainly use social networks, are looking for a device for work, you love taking photographs or want this cellphone for playing games, this cellphone is probably a great choice . Apple packs this phone with USB Power Adapter, Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Lightning to USB Cable and Documentation.
