Apple iPod Touch 5th Generation Review

32 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 61 / 100

Apple iPod Touch 5th Generation is a quite good iOS tablet device released in 2012, including a 1000 MHz Dual-Core processor, a 4" multi touch screen, and two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.2 MP front facing camera. Let's take a closer look at what this tablet device offers to us.

Apple sells this device with a Apple A5 system chip, packing a great performance 1000 MHz Dual-Core CPU and 512 MB RAM memory. Graphic calculations usually consume a lot of processing power, so this device has a PowerVR SGX543 MP2 GPU clocking at 200 MHz to take some work out of the CPU. A key advantage of this tablet is its inmense 32 GB internal memory and while it doesn't include an SD card slot, it is still enough to install hundreds of applications and even the largest games available nowadays without worrying about running out of space.

This device has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.24". Apple made the iPod Touch 5th Generation in two different colors, black and white. The Apple iPod Touch 5th Generation feels much lighter than what you would expect from a portable tablet of this size.

This tablet is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.2 megapixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also counts with many interesting features: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This device has a completely amazing 4 inches screen with a 1136 x 640 resolution, providing this tablet with a very detailed graphical experience. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The iPod Touch 5th Generation packs a poor 1030 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that provides this tablet a poor battery life comparing with other similar tablet devices. A big issue to consider is that this tablet's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to last shorter, having to replace the whole tablet device.

The iPod Touch 5th Generation includes wifi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless router or modem). This tablet doesn't have a SIM card, because it is not a GSM device.

This device also includes Bluetooth (4.0), and a few sensors likeAccelerometer and Gyroscope.

This tablet costs around $ 240, a very high price for this type of tablet. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a tablet mainly for internet broswing and social networks, want this tablet to take plenty of pictures or want a gaming tablet, this tablet is probably the correct option for you. When buying this device you will also receive Quick Start guide, iPod touch loop, Lightning to USB Cable and Apple EarPods.
