Apple iPhone 5c Review

CDMA     See other variants reviews Score: 70 / 100

Apple iPhone 5c is an incredible iOS cellphone launched back in the year 2013, counting with a medium sized 4 inches multi-touch screen, a high performance Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1.3 GHz, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.2 megapixels front-facing camera.

Apparently Apple forgot about weight optimization in this 4.66 ounces cellphone. Talking about its aspect, this phone is majorly made of Polycarbonate. This cellphone has a beautiful design, with a thickness of just 0.35". This cellphone is for sale in many different colors, pink, yellow, green, blue and white.

This phone has a great 4 inches display with a 1136 x 640 resolution, providing this cellphone with a perfect graphic quality. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a brightness of 500 candela/m2 and can detect multi touch gestures.

Apple ships the Apple iPhone 5c with a Apple A6 system chip, including an extremely powerful 1.3 gigahertz Dual-Core CPU and only 1016 MB RAM memory which is a bit disappointing for such a solid cellphone. A key aspect of the Apple iPhone 5c is the 32 GB large internal storage memory and although it doesn't count with a slot for an SD memory card, it it is more than enough to store hundreds of applications without worrying about how much storage capacity is left.

This device features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.2 megapixels front facing camera. It also films Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, this cellphone's camera also has a high number of valuable features: flash, digital image stabilization, auto-focus, face detection shooting, time lapse video, HDR mode and geo tagging.

The Apple iPhone 5c comes with a 1507 mAh medium Li-Ion non-removable battery, which is not really enough for a consuming phone like this. Apple says this phone has a stand by time of 250 hs and a talk time of 10 hours. A possible problem to consider is that this phone's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts losing capacity, having to replace the whole device.

This cellphone counts with wi-fi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a wireless router), 4G (LTE) great performance connection type and also HSPA+ connection type, that is a lower speed 4G variation and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services and it can connect to both CDMA and GSM networks.

This device also includes a few useful features like Bluetooth (enables communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is priced about 189 dollars, which is quite a high price for comparing with other similar cellphones. No matter whether you want a phone for work, want it to play games, are a photography fan or need a cellphone to majorly use social networks, this cellphone is probably the right one for you. If you buy this cellphone you will also receive Lightning to USB Cable, Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic, Documentation and USB Power Adapter.
