Sharp, loads of detail for a cheap phone camera, and accurate brickwork colors. Great stuff
Here's the 5C's one daylight issue in action: the camera has totally failed to focus on this church. Unless you touch-focus carefully, you'll end up with loads of these
Here's a demo of an Honor 5C strong suit – it's rare that you see a phone this cheap able to produce such dramatic-looking nature close-ups. Colors are vivid but natural, and the shallow depth of field effect is lovely
The 5C's metering chops are on show here: the camera has chosen to prioritise detail in the sky and allow the foreground to darken a bit, but you could recover much of this foreground detail in post-processing if you wanted to. Ultimately the right choice
This may look like an unremarkable shot, but it really says a lot about the quality of the 5C's sensor. The fact that it's picked out the blue of the sky through the leaves, and hasn't blown any highlights significantly, is truly impressive
