Honor 5C Review

Score: 59.2 / 100

Honor 5C is a solid Android phone launched many years ago, having a quite big 5.2" screen, a high-tech Octa-Core processing unit running at 2 gigahertz, a 13 megapixels back facing camera and an 8 MP front side camera. Let's take a better sight of what this phone can do.

The Honor 5C is available only in 16 777 216 color. This cellphone is much lighter than what one would think about a phone this size. This phone is slim and stilized, being just 0.33 inches thick. This cellphone is only 5.79 inches long, but it's still able to fit a a 5.2" screen. About its design materials, this phone is mostly built with Aluminum .

This cellphone includes an astonishing 5.2" display with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels forming the display.

decided to equip the Honor 5C using a HiSilicon Kirin 650 system chip, which holds an exceptional 2000 MHz Octa-Core CPU and a great 2 GB of RAM. A good feature of the Honor 5C is its 16 GB quite large internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, allowing you to install a couple hundred apps without worrying about space.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and an 8 megapixels front camera. It can also capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps.

The Honor 5C provides Wi-Fi connection (which can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed connection type and also HSPA+ internet connection, a slower 4G type and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

The Honor 5C also includes a few useful features such as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (4.1 ) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone counts with a 3000 mAh huge non-removable battery providing this phone an amazing battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the Honor 5C's battery isn't replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to lose capacity, though having 3000 mAh you will probably replace this cellphone before it happens.

The Honor 5C is probably the right choice for you no matter whether you are looking for a gaming phone or want this device mostly for internet broswing and social networks.
