Samsung Galaxy C5 Review

Score: 76.4 / 100

Samsung Galaxy C5 is a totally fascinating Android cellphone launched back in the year 2016, with an extremely powerful Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 1.5 GHz, a comfortable 5.2 inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 16 megapixels back side camera and an 8 mega-pixels front facing camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Samsung equipped the C5 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 8952 system chip, packing an extremely powerful Octa-Core CPU running at 1.5 GHz and a great 4 GB of RAM. A great point of this phone is its large 64 GB internal storage memory and an external memory slot, enough to store hundreds of applications and even the largest games currently available without having to worry about filling it.

This phone is just available in color 16 777 216. Samsung made an excellent job making this device weight only 5.04 ounces. This cellphone is quite a compact device, taking into account that it has a 5.2 inches screen and it is just 5.74" long. This phone is incredibly thin and practical, with a thickness of just 0.26". About its design, this phone is mainly manufactured with Metal .

This device features two cameras, a 16 MP back facing camera and an 8 megapixels front camera. It is also able to shoot videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps.

The C5 includes a gorgeous 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) 5.2-inches screen, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels composing the screen.

The C5 provides WiFi capability (which it can share with other devices around, acting as a router), 4G LTE high performance connectivity and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSPA technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

The C5 also features many cool characteristics such as Fingerprint Sensor, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (enables communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone uses a 2600 mAh incredible non-removable battery, enough to provide this phone with an impressive battery life. An issue to take into account is that the C5's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, whereas with so much capacity you will probably replace this phone before it becomes a real problem.

If you will use it as a work phone, will use it to play lots of games, want this device to take plenty of pictures or will use it as a social cellphone, you will definitely be very satisfied with it.
