The SISWOO C55 Longbow, is the latest handset of this brand, and at this moment is the cheapest octa-core with 5.5 "HD screen you can find.

So if you are looking for a new phone, read the review, and this may be the one for you.

Specs

Unboxing and Equipment Description:

The box that protects the mobile phone contains all information related to it, giving an indication of their capabilities.

With the phone we can find inside the box the wall charger, a micro-USB cable, a protective screen, and the mobile phone manual.

With a simple appearance, the SISWOO C55 doesn't have the new fashion display, the 2.5D.

The buttons are not backlit, but are outlined in silver, which integrates them on the phone discreetly.

The front camera of 5mpx, is accompanied by an LED flash so that selfies remain perfect even in environments where conditions are not the best. The SISWOO C55 contrary to what is usual, does not have a notification LED.

At the top we find the 3.5mm jack to connect the headphones and the IR-Blaster.

On the right side we have the Power button.

On the left side we find the volume button.

At the bottom we have the micro-USB port for charging and connecting to the PC, and the microphone.

At the rear, the there is a 13mpx, dual LED flash camara and the speaker. The cover shows a "rubbery" aspect that is extremely smooth and pleasant to the touch, and that allows you to hold the phone easily.

Operating System

The SISWOO C55 come with android Lolipop 5.1 installed, and as is habit and is fully stock without any pre-installed applications, the only type of customization that SISWOO has made was to change the home page of the browser, all the rest comes clean, of the usual chines garbage.

Screen

The SISWOO C55 comes equipped with a screen 5.5" IPS with a HD resolution of 720 * 1280P, as usual in this type of display viewing angles are excellent without any colors distortion .

Display lighting levels are within the normal, which allows mobile phone use with any light, even in the street, with the incidence of direct sunlight on the screen, we can use it normally, and at night, when the environment in low light places, it doesn't causes any kind of discomfort or become tiresome, contrary to what happens with many other equipment.

Performance

The Longbow SISWOO C55 comes equipped with a Mediatek 6753 processor, an octa-core 1,3GHz speed. To deal with the graphics there is a Mali T-720 at 450MHz, the RAM 2GBs, make the device very smooth running, and that ensures a good performance in whatever task.

AnTuTu

If we like to play games, this SISWOO C55, it will be a good device for that, despite being away from the performance of the top machines, we are not going to be ashamed, and will be able to run all games currently available on Playstore.

Base MarkOS

Vellamo

Epic Citadel

3D Mark

Games like NOVA 3 Asphalt 8 Modern Combat 5 , were used to test the real performance in games, and all of them run without any kind of lag or breaks, so in the near future, this phone will be able to run all games without too much difficulty.

Audio

The sound from the only existing speaker in SISWOO C55, is very nice, despite a lack of depth, it continues to be of sufficient quality to be used for listening to music or to see a video.

During a call, the SISWOO C55, it has excellent sound quality, the internal speaker and fulfills its functions being easily audible, the same applies to the microphone, we are heard with great clarity and sharpness.

Camera

The SISWOO equipped the C55 with a rear camera of 13mpx, and I have to admit that this camera is far from the best, if in near photos it manages to meet, with a relatively good image quality, the photos of landscapes is disappointing, the inability to capture details, is quite noticeable.

Click on the pictures to open them in the maximum resolution.

The front camera has an LED flash, which should helps when conditions are less than ideal, however the pictures always show a high degree of noise even in well-lit environments.

Both the front and back camera have the similar problems, so this should be caused by poor software optimization.

Connectivity

The range of SISWOO C55 WIFI is very good, it can reach about 60m on open space, and about 20m inside the house.

The 4G network, which can be active for any of the SIMs is also very good, reached speeds are higher than I do at home with WIFI.

The Bluetooth range is also very good it, and you can lay your phone and walk around the house without losing signal.

One thing that comes with SISWOO C55 is the IR Blaster, with it you can replace all the home remotes, and let's be honest, 99% of the time we know where our phone is, and the remotes are capable of disappearing into the air when we need them. I could easily program 2 TV's from Samsung, one from LG, a Kaon digital box, 2 AC devices, and one stereo from Sony, so you can program just about everything you have at home, and works quite well as the program that comes pre installed for this purpose the ZAZA Remote, is extremely easy to use.

The hotknot works very well, and is very effective to share files between devices.

GPS

GPS is very fast to capture satellites, and with very good accuracy.

The SISWOO C55 managed to secure the signal indoors, with an error of 4m which is very good.

Battery

The battery of 3300mAh in the SISWOO C55, can easily endure a very intense day of work, with normal use it reaches 2 days.

Battery life is always dependent on the usage of your phone, in my case, during these two days, always with WIFI on, 4G data connected, and the Bluetooth, to connect the phone to a smartwatch. So taking into account the use I gave it, I consider that the duration of the battery to be very good.

Final thoughts

PROS:

- Price

- Overall quality of the equipment

- IR Blaster

Against:

- Camara

The SISWOO C55 Longbow, is the first device of this kind to have a low price of € 150, given that comes equipped with an octa-core 64bit, 2GBs of ram and a 5.5 "HD screen, and a good build quality, this is a device to consider if you are buying a new phone. This is if they can get by with the poor camera.
