Samsung Galaxy C5 is a mobile phone recently launched by Samsung that focuses on the middle end texture. It uses an all metal body design that is not common on Samsung mobile phones. It uses an integrated metal back cover instead of double-sided glass. It has a texture that other Samsung models do not have. The 32GB version is priced at 2199 yuan, and the 64GB version is priced at 2399 yuan. Today, let's take a look at the performance of Samsung's mid-range model with excellent design and excellent workmanship.
Appearance&Appearance:
The packing box of Galaxy C5 is simple. A large C mark on the front highlights its model.
The lower part of the front is marked with Samsung, Galaxy and C5.
The inner layer of the packaging box uses a gold inner layer, which is consistent with the color of the body. The Galaxy C5 provides a total of four colors, namely Maple Leaf Gold, Rose Pink, Brilliant Silver and Misty Rain Ash. What we get is Maple Leaf Gold.
On the back of the box is some product information, which clearly indicates that the machine supports Samsung Pay and can directly use Samsung Pay service after activation.
The design of the packaging box is very simple. The upper cover can be opened by turning it up. The packaging lining uses the color matching consistent with the body color, which is clear at a glance. When you open the packaging Galaxy C5, you will see it.
This is the family photo of Galaxy C5, which includes instructions, charger, data cable, headset and other accessories.
The attached clip has a special shape, which is an inverted water drop.
The earphones included are Samsung standard earplugs.
The attached charging cable is completely the same as the flagship models such as Galaxy S7 and Note5, which is more conscientious.
The interface details and workmanship are quite solid.
The attached 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 uses a gold front panel, which is very harmonious with the golden fuselage. The color difference between the glass panel and the metal back cover is very small.
Compared with the gold of Galaxy S7, the gold of C5 is brighter. If the gold of S7 is slightly close to brown, the gold of C5 is more close to pure gold. Samsung makes the front panel very bright. Although it is gold, it is not arrogant.
The Home key design of Galaxy C5 is very round and close to that of S7.
On the left side of the earpiece is an 8 million pixel front camera, and on the right side are various sensors. It is worth mentioning that Samsung has also integrated the sensors together, and the LED indicator is hidden on the right side of the sensor.
Galaxy C5 adopts 2.5D glass with obvious radian, and the edge touch feels smooth.
The volume button is located on the left side of the body, and the power button is located on the right side of the body. The SIM card slot is located on the lower part of the power button, which supports dual SIM card dual standby or single SIM card+TF card. The camera is slightly convex, but not as exaggerated as the Galaxy S6. It has little impact on the desktop or other planes.
Headphone jack, call microphone, Micro USB connector and speaker opening. At the top, there is only a noise reducing microphone.
The back is designed with all metal one-piece molding. There are two white antenna isolation strips on the top and bottom. The other parts are made of metal.
The metal surface adopts sandblasting technology, which has a fine touch and a slightly rusty feel. The astringency is just right, and it will not slide off as easily as glass when held in the hand.
The bottom is marked with information such as model. The antenna partition strip is white.
From this angle, we can clearly see that the camera is somewhat convex, thicker than the Galaxy S7, but far less exaggerated than the Galaxy S6. It is still stable on the table.
The whole body is designed in gold, from the front panel to the metal back cover, all in gold, quite pure. Although the Galaxy C5 is not the top model of Samsung, its overall workmanship is relatively exquisite. Both the handle and the overall shape are commendable. As a 5.2 inch model, its frame width and overall size are well controlled, only slightly larger than the flagship Galaxy S7, and the grip is very good.
System:
Samsung Galaaxy C5 is the same as other Samsung models, Android 6.0.1 was installed on the platform, with the TouchWiz launcher that we are very familiar with.
Both the interface and user interaction follow Samsung's consistent style, which can be easily used by Samsung's old users. Although it is only equipped with a Snapdragon 617 processor, it performs well in normal use, and all operations are smooth and smooth.
The icons used in the system have some changes in details and color matching, which is quite flat. After installing third-party applications, the system will display all icons in the form of shell rounded rectangle, making all icons more uniform in style. This design is quite practical. In addition, the Galaxy C5 Bank of China has built-in Samsung Pay, which means that we can use Samsung Pay after binding the bank card, which is convenient and fast.

In terms of processor performance, pi takes 32.029 seconds, which is basically the same as that of Hongmi 3. As for GeekBench's score run, it shows the performance that Snapdragon 617 should have, 713 points for single core and 3129 points for multi core, which is at the same level as other models using the same SoC.
In terms of graphics processing, in the latest scene Sling Shot of 3DMark, test1 is 2FPS, and test2 is 1.1FPS; In the Ice Storm scenario, the test1 is 52.5FPS, the test is 36.5FPS, and the physics is 26.8FPS, which is basically the same as the mobile phones with SoC of the same level, and the performance is fairly good; In the test of GFX Bench, the Manhattan off screen is 6.4 FPS, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex off screen is 16 FPS, which is almost identical with those using SoC of the same level.
In terms of flash memory read/write performance, A1 SD Bench reads 232.21MB/s and writes 87.69MB/s. The read speed is good, but the write speed is somewhat low. AndroBench's continuous reading is 269.36MB/s, continuous writing is 84.61MB/s, random reading is 22.06MB/s, and random writing is 8.43MB/s. In continuous reading and writing, the speed is average, especially the speed of continuous writing is only 84.61MB/s, and the performance of random writing and random reading is OK.

The Galaxy C5 is equipped with a 16 million pixel rear camera with an aperture of f/1.9. The camera ID is S5K3L2XX, which should be an ISOCELL sensor produced by Samsung itself. Samsung also equipped it with dual color flash lights. It may be that the camera is slightly more prominent than the fuselage due to the thinner fuselage. Now let's take a look at the demo performance of this 16 megapixel camera.

The white balance of Samsung Galaxy C5 is good, and the color restoration is relatively real on the whole, a little noisy, but the picture purity is good, and the painting is clean. Thanks to its ISOCELL sensor with 16 million pixels, its details are better than most mobile phones with 12 million pixels at present, and the advantages brought by high pixels are obvious. However, the exposure of this machine is a bit excessive. After comparing with the iPhone SE and Galaxy S7, which are our references, it is obvious that the photos of Galaxy C5 are somewhat overexposed. On the whole, the camera performance of the Galaxy C5 is commendable.
Summary:
Samsung Galaxy C5, as a model with Snapdragon 617 processor, is equipped with 4GB RAM and 32GB ROM. In addition, it also supports expansion of memory cards, which users can add according to their needs. Different from the double-sided glass design of S series or A series, the new Galaxy C5 adopts the design of all metal integrated body, and the screen is embedded in the integrated back cover, which is exquisite. The design of 2.5D glass+plastic washer is used, which is very natural with the border, without any feeling of hand scratching. As a model with a 5.2 inch screen, the Galaxy C5 has a fairly good volume control and a moderate size and a good grip. However, the brand premium of the machine is somewhat high. If the price can be lower, the Galaxy C5 will be a better choice.
