The Swipe Konnect Plus relies on a sizeable 3000mAh battery which should last up to a day or two depending on the usage and the specs are not too demanding. It skips on 4G LTE connectivity and a fingerprint sensor, and is rather thick (9.8 mm) and heavy, compared to its contemporaries.
Commenting on the launch, Founder and CEO of Swipe Technologies said:
“Swipe believes in disrupting the market with offering more and better for less. Our latest creation Konnect Plus is the most affordable among all 5”/2GB/16GB smartphones available in the market today.
No other smartphone maker in India offers these specs at the price we are proposing at. Fulfilling aspirations of demanding end-users at affordable costs is what differentiates Swipe products from other smartphone makers. For us, it is important to live up to our customer’s rising expectations.
The new Swipe Konnect Plus is an outcome of an in-depth study of the market and consumer preferences that will surely give a next level experience of a smartphone to its user.”
