Friendly design
Excellent battery life
Amazing display
Great speed
Fantastic camera
Color variety with its design
Solid build quality for a plastic phone
Snappy performance
The iPhone 5's hardware has aged pretty well
And even without internal changes the 5C is competitive with similarly priced offerings from other companies
The plastic bodies are very sturdy and add character
Camera is still pretty good overall
Though l
Easy to type on
Very portable
Easy to read on
Easy to navigate
Good speaker quality
The iPhone 5C is available for $99 or less on contract
And in five bright colors. Compared with the 2012 iPhone 5
It's got more widely compatible global LTE coverage
An upgraded front-facing camera
And slightly better battery life
Bright and cheerful new colors. Solid value. iPhone 5 internals are still solid. Stronger RF reception than iPhone 5. iOS 7 is a dramatic upgrade.

Vivid colors finally inject some variety into the iPhone line. All of the great features from the iPhone 5 return with a couple of small enhancements. Offers a less-expensive new Apple handset option.
Casing doesn't feel cheap and is comfortable to hold
Vibrant display
IOS 7 looks great on the iPhone 5C
Great performance
A more affordable version of 2012's iPhone 5

The editors didn't like
It's (sort of) last year's iPhone
The Swisscheese case is lame
Pricey
Glass back can easily shatter
No 64GB option
Phone's speaker is noticeably muffled-sounding compared to the 5 and 5S
Some will find the plastic body a downgrade from the original iPhone 5's aluminum one
Subpar battery life
Subpar camera quality
Subpar performance — same hardware as the iPhone 5
This phone is 2012 tech dressed up in a brighter package for 2013
The four-inch Retina Display feels small compared with most Android phones
That 4-inch screen is starting to feel small. No significant new hardware features
A 4" display in 2013 seems so old fashioned. Last year's specs won't ignite as much enthusiasm
Nor will it be as future proof as the iPhone 5s
Colored plastic case may not be to everyone's liking
Not a dramatic change from iPhone 5
Storage not expandable
Small screen
That 4inch screen is starting to feel small. No significant new hardware features
Toy-like appearance
Prohibitively expensive
Essentially the iPhone 5
Yearold technology. For 0 more
The iPhone 5s brings the magic. Back of the phone feels a little too slick. Your favorite iPhone 5 case will not fit
Relatively expensive for a midrange smartphone
Similar specifications to the iPhone 5
Price difference isn’t so significant to set it apart from the much-enhanced iPhone 5s. Slippery backing makes a case feel essential. Loses some of the premium allure of an iPhone.
The 4in screen feels small
Not much improvement in the battery
Plastic shells are a major downgrade from both iPhone 5's metal casing and earlier plastic enclosures developed for the iPhone 3GS
With mostly stale color options
And no trace of metallic sparkle. Realworld battery performance continues to fall below Ap
” section above is a sticking point. During the Apple announcement heralding the new iPhones' arrival
We called the 5c an “iPhone 5 in a new casing
” and besides the minor exceptions noted above
That's proven fairly accurate. The 5c is indeed last night
Not as nice as the iPhone 5
IOS 7 still needs polish
Last year's internals
Camera stumbles in low light
But with a low non-HD resolution
Barely any cheaper than the iPhone 5s
Small phone with a tiny screen size (compared to the competitors)
A quality experience that's expertly tailored for normal people Let's face it—nobody but early adopters really needs the latest-and-greatest these days. One of our favorite phones of late, Motorola's Moto G , won't win any competitions based on its sp...
This iPhone feels great to hold, There's great choice of colours to suit any personality, Cheaper than iPhone 5S
Colours won't be to everyone's taste, Not as cheap as expected, No Touch ID fingerprint sensor, Almost one year old
If you are trying to decide between the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c it is a question of whether you need all the extras offered by the iPhone 5s. Perhaps you are enticed by the new camera in the 5s, for example. If you need the latest technology it is only £8...

The OnePlus One is a big and well built smartphone, It is super fast with great specs, The price is unbelievable
Very big and unweildy to use in one hand, iOS is a more secure and closed platform, Can you get an invite to buy?
The OnePlus One is an outstanding entry to the smartphone market. If you want a large screen phone, and you can live with Android's data-harvesting ways, it is a brilliant alternative to the iPhone 5c. You just have to be able to get one. But don't expect...

Abstract: The most natable thing about the iPhone 5c is its bright and colourful design, which instantly makes it stand apart from any other iPhone. The model is available in 5 pastel shades: blue, green, yellow, white and pink, and the handset is made of plastic r...
Abstract: We've spent lots of time with the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, both of which are excellent smartphones but with some significant differences. The iPhone 5S is Apple's flagship model, so it's got better specs and features than the iPhone 5C, but the iPhone 5C ...
Abstract: HTC One vs iPhone 5c: UK price The iPhone 5C is the cheaper of Apple's current smartphones , but it's not cheap. A 16GB model will set you back £469 inc VAT, and you have to shell out a further £100 for the 32GB model. So you'd have to be convinced that ...

These two handsets are both great, evenly matched for storage and performance. We expect that no-one would be disappointed with the purchase of either. The Moto G is bigger and bulkier but has a bigger screen. You will, however, notice the extra money you...
Abstract: Picking a smartphone is tough as the market is saturated and it's a long term commitment. Contracts with devices included range from 12 months to 24 months so you have to choose wisely. With the major mobile manufacturers gearing up to launch their 2014 r...
It looks like the iPhone 5C is the choice for those who want a bit more colour in their life. It is not Apple's cheaper iPhone, that accolade goes to the 8GB iPhone 4S (currently £349). When the features are compared the additional £80 is a small price to...
