Editorial report
BLU C5L technical sheet
The BLU C5L suits anyone looking for a simple phone for calls and basic tasks, but its 2000 mAh battery is the main compromise: its capacity is among the smallest in phones of its time. It is a poor fit for buyers who put a large battery first.
Performance is also limited. Its AnTuTu result of 24,748 is among the weakest of its time. The phone has 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage, with support for memory cards up to 64 GB. Dual Nano-SIM, GPS, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack cover basic connectivity needs. At 153 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time.
The IPS LCD display measures 5 inches, but its 196 ppi density is among the lowest of its time. The 5 MP camera resolution is also among the lowest; the camera overall is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps.
With a NeoScore of 1.5, the BLU C5L is among the weakest phones of its time. It makes sense for someone who needs only basic phone functions and values a light handset, while accepting a small battery, limited performance and a basic camera.
