Features, Performance, and Reviews for the BLU C5 (2017)

BLU C5 (2017) 's size

The "BLU C5 (2017)" is 73.2mm wide, 144.4mm tall, and 10.0mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "BLU C5 (2017)", it weighs about 172.0g. It feels a little heavy when held with one hand. It may tire your hand out if you operate it for too long a time.

In giving an overall rating to the "BLU C5 (2017)", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

BLU C5 (2017) 's screen

The "BLU C5 (2017)" has a 5.0inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The screen quality of the "BLU C5 (2017)" is such that videos and images can be blurry at times. There's a noticeable lack of image quality in general.

The CPU performance of BLU C5 (2017)

The processing performance of the "BLU C5 (2017)" is quite low at 1.3GHz×2(2.0-cores), and you may find minor issues even while browsing the internet or Twitter.

The "BLU C5 (2017)" only has 512.0MB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.

In rating the "BLU C5 (2017)"'s overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.

BLU C5 (2017) 's storage capacity

The "BLU C5 (2017)" has 8.0GB of data storage. This is fine if you mainly use email or social media sites, but if you plan to take photos and videos or play games, you should buy an upgrade.

Since the "BLU C5 (2017)" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

The camera function of BLU C5 (2017)

The performance of the "BLU C5 (2017)"'s main camera is rather low with only 5.0MP pixels. If you take a lot of pictures, then you'll likely be dissatisfied with what this camera has to offer.

Additionally, the "BLU C5 (2017)" has a 3.15MP pixel front camera, which is not a very good performance. Image quality can be quite grainy, so while it might be okay for profile photos on Twitter or Facebook, if you're taking selfies or want to print out your photos, you'll probably feel the camera's limitations.

The battery performance of BLU C5 (2017)

The "BLU C5 (2017)"'s battery capacity is 2000.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "BLU C5 (2017)" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

Overall assessment of BLU C5 (2017)

The "BLU C5 (2017)"'s performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful. However, it should be sufficient for people that only want to use the most basic functions, like making calls and browsing the internet, and for people that don't really use smartphones much.
