SISWOO A5 Chocolate Smartphone Review

Mobile/Smart Phones by stefan @ 2016-04-13

A5 Chocolate, the current low-end to mainstream smartphone from SISWOO has left us with a good impression after the tests have been completed; despite the fact that it only sports 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, the benchmark scores almost match the Cubot H1; while the rear camera sensor in the back is only a 5MP component, the resulted shots are acceptable and well-focused when we have decent light conditions. Because of the screen dimensions, A5 Chocolate is easier to hold inside the pocket versus its 5.5’’ competitors and while the battery is rated at 2200mAh, the tests are showing us optimal battery life which also means that the Android 5.1 distribution it uses is well optimized.
