Summary
- The Acer Liquid Z330 features a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, while the BLU C5 LTE has a larger 5.0-inch IPS LCD with the same resolution, resulting in a lower pixel density.
- In terms of performance, both devices are equipped with quad-core processors, but the Z330 uses a Snapdragon 210, whereas the C5 LTE is powered by a Mediatek MT6737, which may offer slightly better efficiency.
- Both smartphones have a 5 MP rear camera, but the C5 LTE can record video at 720p, while the Z330's video capabilities are unspecified.
- Battery capacity is identical at 2000 mAh, and both devices lack fast charging and wireless charging features.
- The Z330 runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, while the C5 LTE operates on a more recent Android 6.0 Marshmallow, potentially offering a better software experience.
- Build quality differs as well, with the Z330 being lighter at 142g compared to the C5 LTE's 176g, and the latter is slightly bulkier.
