Are you looking for a Android mobile that fits your budget without sacrificing quality? Well, today we present you two options that may suit what you are looking for, Cubot X12 and SISWOO-A5. And so that your final decision is knowing them in detail, we show you the pros and cons of each one.
Technical details of the Cubot X12
This Android phone has the typical features of mid-range Chinese smartphones: 5-inch screen, 1 GHz Mediatek processor and 1 GB of RAM.
Another point to highlight about this android mobile is that it has the possibility of 4G connection. In addition, it comes standard with Android Lollipop 5.1, a version that is now beginning to reach many even higher-end terminals, so it is the window of not having to wait for updates. Like most Asian mobiles, it has a Dual SIM card, to have 2 different phone numbers on the same mobile.
As for the camera, the front is 2 MP and the rear is 5 MP. It is clear that for photography lovers there are other slightly better options, but for a smartphone of this range and this price (and for those of us who only want to take photos to upload them to Facebook) it is more than enough.

Technical details of the SISWOO A5
In principle, we find features that are very similar to those of the previous Android mobile, with the same processor, although the Siswoo processes more speed, which runs at 1,5 Ghz, the same RAM and the same screen resolution.
One of the main differences that we can find between the two is that the SISWOO-A5 It works with Android Lollipop 5 instead of version 5.1, which has a positive and a negative side. On the one hand, we have to settle for a version that is not the latest on the market, but on the other hand, since it is a less "powerful" version, with it we can take better advantage of the performance of the terminal.
For the rest, the cameras are also similar to those of the previous one, as is its possibility of using 4G networks and the availability of dual SIM, which has already become a regular among mid-range terminals that come to us from China.
The size of the SISWOO is a little shorter, although both its weight and its screen size remain almost the same as that of the CUBOTA X12.
Features of the SISWOO A5
- Screen: 5,0 inch QHD IPS Screen
- CPU: MTK6735 quad core 64bit 1,5Ghz

Final conclusion
As you can see, these are two very similar smartphones, so we can say that the Siswoo stands out a bit for the speed of its microprocessor. In terms of design, we like the Cubox X12 better, but about tastes, colors, and their prices are also very similar.
