Design

TP-Link Neffos C5S

The Plastic rear cover is simply stunning, you won’t have a clue it’s Plastic at first glance. Furthermore, it sports simply design at the rear with no fingerprint scanner anywhere on the device. At the top, we can see the rear camera, LED flash and Neffos logo.

Turning over to the sides, it’s quite bulky, measuring 9.7mm in thickness. But when it boils down to weight, it weighs just 160g overall which should be easy enough to hold and operate. It’s available in Gray color only.

Display

TP-Link Neffos C5S

Although it isn’t bezel-less, it has quite an interesting screen to body ratio. TP-Link had to claim their territory at the bottom bezel, while the top houses the usual features. The bottom here is still visible but it should offer taller visuals in landscape mode nonetheless.

The 5-inch FWVGA IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen displays as a budget smartphone it is. With a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels and 196 pixel per inch density, don’t expect perfect visuals with this though. The screen stretches up to 65.83% screen to body ratio.
