Comparisons Featuring BLU C5
Short Review
- The BLU C5 features a compact design with dimensions of 144.3 x 72.5 x 10.3 mm and a weight of 145g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The device includes an 8GB internal storage capacity, expandable via microSD.
- The rear camera captures images at 5 MP, while the front-facing camera also offers 5 MP for selfies, both capable of recording 720p video at 30fps.
- A 2000mAh battery powers the device, but it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower-end hardware.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in Black, Gold, and Blue colors.
- Overall, the BLU C5 is designed for basic smartphone functionality without advanced features.
