Comparisons Featuring BLU C5 LTE
Short Review
- The BLU C5 LTE features a compact design with dimensions of 144.4 x 73.2 x 10 mm and a weight of 176g, available in black and gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset with a quad-core 1.1 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 3.15 MP front camera is basic for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is dated and may lack some modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack.
- Overall, the BLU C5 LTE is a straightforward device suitable for essential tasks and basic connectivity.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on fundamental smartphone functions.
