Overall Rating
8.7
Pros
- +Fun, colorful polycarbonate design in five colors, Same fast Apple A6 chip and 8MP camera as the iPhone 5, Excellent value for money among PhoneArena reviewers, Same 4-inch Retina display as its siblings, Lighter feel than an aluminum unibody in daily use
Cons
- −Plastic build feels less premium than aluminum iPhones, No 64GB storage option available, No fingerprint sensor unlike the 5S, Camera hardware unchanged from the iPhone 5
Expert Review
PhoneArena rated the iPhone 5C around 8.7/10, highlighting its excellent value for money and camera quality identical to the iPhone 5, while its colorful plastic build was seen as a step down in premium feel from Apple's usual aluminum designs.
VERDICT
A genuinely good value pick for buyers who wanted the iPhone 5's performance and camera in a more colorful, affordable package without the 5S's fingerprint sensor.
