My Take on Swipe Elite
The price is slightly confusing. Gadget Diary has said in the unboxing video that the phone has been launched at Rs. 5,999 in India. But the current Flipkart pricing of the phone is Rs. 6,499. Besides, I like the phone very much. It's OK for daily use, and looking the specs the battery is good to last a day. The camera looks pretty cool and the front camera is decent enough for selfies or video calls. The leftover RAM is certainly low, a couple of heavy RAM consuming apps like Facebook or Messenger will definitely cause the phone lag.
