iPhone 5C Features compared to Android Phones of Same Price


iPhone 5C: Colorful, Cost Conscious, and (Potentially) More Storage

It's easy to write off the iPhone 5C as simply the cheaper, plastic-encased option with last year's specs — and to a degree, that's true — but last year's specs are still exceptional. If you pick up an iPhone 5C, you're getting the iPhone 5's gorgeous Retina Display and 8MP camera with Apple's exceptional image processing technology. In effect, the iPhone 5C will still take some of the best photos of most smartphones on the market and maintain a fairly high level of performance.

But iPhone 5C also adds a few small, but noteworthy hardware improvements, including expanded LTE support and an improved front-facing camera. The 5C's expanded LTE bands add increased network compatibility abroad in Europe and Asia. It obviously benefits those that reside in those regions, but it also means greater reliability and compatibility for travelers. The front-facing camera now sports improved backside illumination over the iPhone 5, enabling it to capture better low-light photos and videos, which could be useful for FaceTime calls. A recent FCC filing also revealed that the iPhone 5C features a slightly larger battery over the iPhone 5, going from 1440mAh to 1507mAh.
The iPhone 5C may not be the low-cost model many pre-announcement rumors it suggested it would be, but it's still a comparatively inexpensive iPhone. For anyone on a budget, it comes in $100 less than the iPhone 5S with a 2-year contract. Those less concerned with cost and more interested in more storage, the $199 32GB iPhone 5C offers double the storage of the $199 16GB iPhone 5S. If you're willing to forego cutting-edge specs, the larger capacity will be especially useful for storing more games, apps, and media.
The iPhone 5C's plastic shell also theoretically offers more shock absorption than the iPhone 5S' aluminum casing, though is more likely to scratch, scuff, and collect dust as a result of the high-gloss finish.
