Some shops were saying that they had the mtk6735 siswoo c55 in stock – a phone that doesn’t even exist.
yes, in fact saw it many times at aliexpress, intriguing
I think there are old stocks with MTK6735, but the new ones are upgraded.
I ordered one (before the upgrade) in the beginning of june, which should be shipped “within 3 days”. It is still not shipped, one month later… 🙁
I’ve ordered in presale in June a Siswoo C55, and if they really come out with 2 different phone, mtk6735 for the older presale and the new one for the new order, I think that I will never buy again a SISWOO!!!!

Say 5-inch and I’m sold!
but…but… games ?
Haha theres a lot of other 5.5-inch phone out there, I’m really needing a 5-inch one with decent specs D:
There is the C50 with a 5″ screen, but only 8 GB of RAM, where G55 har 16 GB.
Unfortunately the specs of C50 aren’t enough, and the C55 will have a 5.5 screen now. So I’ll waiting for the Ecoo E05
OK. I’ll have a look at that one, too.
I guess c50 will also receive same update to become unbeatable 5 inch device!
That sounds pretty reasonable, at 149,99 it will have virtually no competition, this means that other Chinese manufacturers will have to reduce prices for their models.
And on top of that Siswoo use Omnivision camera which is great.
OV front or back ?
I think both, back for sure.
well thats some good news. dying to see cam benchmarks for this little guy 🙂
I think both, back for sure.
I’ve heard that it will only be sold in Chinese market.
What about Europe?
it also has centres in Spain by the name of Jazztel (i think) … do some digging to see if u can order from there !
Thank you, but on the FB Siswoo page I read that the C55 is going to be targeted in Chinese market. I know that they have european centre but they don’t advertise it.
On the other hand I need a new phone really soon and I can’t wait for this C55 …
I saw news on their Fb and Tw that they’ve been selling phones in Jazztel shop, but no C55 there. C55 is only for online sale out of mainland of China, which is not “targeted in Chinese market”. Hope this would be good news…
