An entry level device with great camera and RAM
Swipe happens to be an Indian handset maker, which has its products targeted at the youth of India and successfully so. The brand has a number of good and budget smartphones that would appeal to Indian buyers. Some of these handset offer some high end features in ultra affordable price segment. The brand recently launched Swipe Konnect Plus, which has been placed under INR 5, 000 and brings some of the best features in this price tag. Here is a brief overview of the device for those who are looking for an affordable handset.
Why Should You buy?
Entry level 13 Megapixels snapper: When you mention an entry level handset, you cannot expect it to be a brilliant imaging device as most of them come with maximum of an 8 Megapixels. However, Swipe Konnect Plus changes that with the 13 Megapixels camera on its rear panel, which is the highest at the moment at this price.
Entry level 2 GB RAM: Just like the camera, this handset also excels on the performance front as well owing to the configuration. This handset is the first to come with a decent RAM size of 2 GB at this price point, which enhances the whole user experience.
HD Display: This handset is also one of the few to offer a brilliant display to budget segment buyers in India. It comes with a larger 5-inch display that offers a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which is a good one.
Why Should You Not buy?
No 4G: This is a drawback that can very well turn out to be a deal breaker for many people. It makes no sense for the brand to give it a miss when the country is riding on the 4G wave. Moreover, there are several handsets in this price range that already provide 4G.
Any Alternative?
Micromax Canvas Spark 3: This handset comes with the exact same price tag as that of Konnect Plus and makes for a good alternative. This handset matches all the specs of the Konnect Plus with a bigger 5.5-inch display, which is a good thing.
