The new Freedom OS developed by Swipe, allows users to customise the user interface of the device in multiple ways. For example, the number of apps present in the bottom dock can be changed, the size of the icons adjusted, and app drawer can be customized as well. The ELITE also supports the gestures which you can set for performing specific tasks. Another feature of the device is Asist X. This feature lets user call, chat, and locate a service center from phone.
As for the online-only model, Swipe’s founder and CEO Shripal Gandhi said, “It’s only because of the online model that we can keep the price of the smartphone low. Given the specs and the UI features offered with the ELITE this will be a disruptive budget smartphone in India’s mobile space.”
Swipe ELITE is competing with a lot of smartphones in its price range which will surely make it tough for it to get attention. Some of the smartphone it wil compete against are Redmi 2 Prime, InFocus M350, and Karbonn Titanium Mach Five.
