Samsung Galaxy C5 is Samsung's recently launched mobile phone with a mid-range positioning. It uses an all-metal body design that is not common on Samsung mobile phones. It uses a one-piece metal back cover to replace the double-sided glass and has other Samsung devices. Type does not have texture, 32GB version is priced at 2199 yuan, 64GB version is 2399 yuan. Today, let's take a look at Samsung's outstanding performance in mid-range models with excellent design and excellent workmanship.
Appearance & Appearance:
The Galaxy C5's box is relatively simple, with a large C logo on the front highlighting its model.
The position below the front shows the words Samsung, Galaxy and C5.
The inner part of the box uses a gold inner layer that matches the color of the body. This Galaxy C5 provided a total of four kinds of colors: Maple Leaf Gold, Rose Powder, Beggar Silver, and Smoke Rain Ash. We received the Maple Leaf Gold version.
Behind the box is some product information, which clearly indicates that the machine supports Samsung Pay and can use the Samsung Pay service directly after activation.
The design of the box is very simple, and the lid can be opened by turning it up. The color of the packaging lining is the same as the color of the body. At a glance, opening the package Galaxy C5 comes into view.
This is the family portrait of the Galaxy C5. It comes with manuals, chargers, data cables, headphones and other accessories.
The included card pin has a special shape with an inverted drop shape.
The included headphones are Samsung's standard in-ear earphones.
The included charging cable is exactly the same as the flagship models such as the Galaxy S7 and Note5.
Interface details, work more solid.
The supplied charging head is 9V/1.67A or 5.0V/2.0A, which is consistent with other flagship models.
The gold version of the Maple Leaf C5 features a gold front panel that blends harmoniously with the same golden body. The color difference between the glass panel and the metal back cover is very small.
Compared to the gold of the Galaxy S7, the gold of the C5 is brighter. If the gold of the S7 is slightly closer to brown, then the gold of the C5 is closer to the pure gold. Samsung has made the front panel very bright. Although it is golden, it is nothing but a local gas.
The Home Key design of the Galaxy C5 is very sleek, and it is closer to the design of the S7.
On the left side of the handset is an 8 megapixel front camera. On the right is a variety of sensors. It is worth mentioning that Samsung also integrates the sensors and the LED indicator is hidden on the right side of the sensor.
The Galaxy C5 uses a 2.5D glass with a sharper curvature. The edge touch feels smooth.
The volume button is located on the left side of the fuselage, the power button is located on the right side of the fuselage, and the SIM card slot is at the bottom of the power button, supporting dual card dual standby or single SIM card + TF card. The camera is slightly raised, but it's far less exaggerated than the Galaxy S6. It doesn't have much impact on the desktop or other surfaces.
Headphone jack, call microphone, Micro-USB connector, and speaker opening. At the top there is only a noise reduction microphone.
The back uses an all-metal one-piece design with two white antenna strips on the top and bottom, and the rest are all made of metal.
The surface of the metal is sandblasted. The touch is delicate, and it has a slightly rustling feel. The astringency is just right. It won't slide off like a glass when held in your hand.
The bottom shows the model and other information. The antenna spacer is white.
This angle can clearly see the camera is a certain degree of bulging, thicker than the Galaxy S7, but far less exaggerated than the Galaxy S6, on the table is still very smooth.
The whole body has a gold design. From the front panel to the metal back cover, all of them are golden and quite pure. Although the Galaxy C5 is not Samsung's top model, but the overall workmanship is still more sophisticated, both handshaking, the overall shape is remarkable, as a 5.2-inch model, whether it is the width of the border, The size of the whole machine is quite outstanding, just a little bit bigger than the flagship model Galaxy S7, which is very good.
system:
Samsung Galaaxy C5 is consistent with other Samsung models, and it will be equipped with Android 6.0.1, with the TouchWiz launcher that we are very familiar with.
Regardless of the interface or user interaction, Samsung's consistent style is used, and it is easy for Samsung old users to get started. Although only equipped with a Xiao Long 617 processor, but the machine in the normal use of the performance is quite good, all kinds of operations are relatively smooth and smooth.
The icons of the system application are slightly changed in details and colors, and are quite flat. After the third-party application is installed, the system displays all the icons in the form of rounded rectangles around the case so that all icon styles are more uniform. This is a very practical design. In addition, the Galaxy C5 State Bank has built-in Samsung pay, which means that we can use Samsung to pay after binding the bank card, which is convenient and fast.

In terms of processor performance, the cycle time was 32.029 seconds, which is basically the same as that of Red Rice 3. As for the GeekBench running performance, it shows the performance of the Xiaolong 617, with a single core score of 713 and a multi-core score of 3129, which are in the same level as other models using the same SoC.
In graphics processing, in 3DMark's latest scene Sling Shot, test1 is 2FPS, test2 is 1.1FPS; in Ice Storm scene, test1 is 52.5FPS, test is 36.5FPS, Physics is 26.8FPS, and mobile phones with the same level of SoC are used. Basically flat, performance is pretty good; GFX Bench's test, its Manhattan off the screen to 6.4 FPS, T-Rex off screen to 16FPS, and use the same level of SoC almost exactly the same.
Flash read and write performance, A1 SD Bench read 232.21MB / s, write 87.69MB / s, read speed performance is good, but write speed is somewhat low. AndroBench reads continuously at 269.36MB/s, continuous writing at 84.61MB/s, random reading at 22.06MB/s, and random writing at 8.43MB/s.

The Galaxy C5 is equipped with a 16-megapixel rear camera with an aperture of f/1.9. The camera ID is S5K3L2XX and should be the ISOCELL sensor produced by Samsung. Samsung also equipped it with a bi-color flash. It may be due to the thin body thickness of the camera, and its camera is somewhat more prominent than the body. Let's take a look at the sample performance of this 16-megapixel camera.

The white balance of the Samsung Galaxy C5 performed well. The reduction of the color is still relatively true, with some noise, but the screen purity is fairly good and the smearing is relatively clean. Thanks to its 16-megapixel ISOCELL sensor, its details are superior to most current 12-megapixel phones, and the advantages of high-resolution pixels are obvious. However, the aircraft is a little overexposed. Compared with the iPhone SE and Galaxy S7 that we used as references, it is clear that the Galaxy C5 photos have been overexposed. Overall, the performance of the Galaxy C5 camera is pretty good.
The Samsung Galaxy C5 is a model based on the Snapdragon 617 processor. It is equipped with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM. In addition, it supports the development of memory cards. Users can add them on demand. Unlike the S-series or A-series double-sided glass design, the new Galaxy C5 uses a full-metal body design, the screen inlaid in the integrated back cover, the workmanship is more exquisite. It uses a 2.5D glass + plastic washer design, and the border is overly natural, without any squeaky feel. As a 5.2-inch screen model, the Galaxy C5's volume control is quite good, moderate size grip is not bad. Only the brand premium of the aircraft is somewhat high. If the pricing can be cheaper, then the Galaxy C5 will be a better choice.
