There is no more introduction needed to Xiaomi’s Redmi 3s & 3s prime as they are one of the best-selling smartphone of year 2016 and they deserve so. Recently, the Indian smartphone manufacturer Swipe has launched Swipe Elite Sense, which is bit similar to be the competitor of Redmi 3s & 3s prime. So, here’s the detailed comparison of both smartphones (Swipe Elite Sense Vs Redmi 3s Prime).
I don’t why people is comparing both these smartphones with each other because there is no such reason I found in Swipe Elite Sense to be the best from Redmi 3s Prime. Of course, the price tag is bit lower than Redmi 3s Prime but that’s we can handle easily (only Rs 600 difference).
So, let’s begin to compare both these smartphones.
Swipe Elite Sense Vs Redmi 3s Prime
DISPLAY
Both these smartphones features similar display with similar screen resolution. They sports a 5-Inch HD (720×1080 pixels) IPS display. There’s no reason to say why one is bad in display as both are featuring similar display.
HARDWARE
Now, let’s see the hardware packed in both these devices.
Swipe Elite Sense is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 425 SoC clocked at 1.4GHz which is a quad-core processor and also is coupled by 3GB of RAM & 32GB of ROM which is further expandable upto 128GB using microSD card.
Whereas, Redmi 3S Prime is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 SoC with four cores clocked at 1.1GHz, and four other cores at 1.4GHz and is coupled by 3GB of RAM & 32GB of ROM which is further expandable upto 128GB using microSD card.
Here’s we can tackle a little difference between both of them which of System-on-Chip. Swipe Elite Sense has 425 SoC and Redmi 3s Prime has 430 SoC. Well, both these processors doesn’t have a huge difference but in terms of CPU THREADS (More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking) & RAM SPEED (for system performance), 430 works better.
Here if we look, Swipe Elite Sense Vs Redmi 3s Prime, probably we have to go for Redmi 3s Prime.
SOFTWARE
Both these smartphones are running on Android operating system and probably having the same versions too.
Swipe Elite Sense is running on Android Marshmallow with no clarification for further updates to Nougat.
Redmi 3s Prime is running on Android Marshmallow out-of-the-box but it will be upgradable to Nougat (Rumors says).
But we can’t commit that Redmi 3s Prime is better as no stable for 3s prime yet arrived.
BATTERY
The runner is Swipe Elite Sense.
The Redmi 3s Prime features a 4100mAh battery, while the Swipe Elite Sense has only 2500mAh of battery. So, here the competitor sucks but that’s not the topmost priority for we all.
CAMERA
This is something which has a lot more priority than any other feature nowadays.
Swipe Elite Sense sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and Phase detection autofocus (PDAF), at the front it has a 8-megapixel camera for selfies.
While in Redmi 3s Prime, it sports 13-megapixel rear camera with PDAF (phase detection autofocus), f/2.0 aperture, HDR mode, 1080p video recording, and LED flash. At the front, it has a 5-megapixel camera which is also capable of shooting 1080p HD Videos.
If you know that, more megapixels doesn’t means a better camera then you will surely get that which is best. I mean Redmi 3s Prime is still the winner.
PRICE
The price for Swipe Elite Sense is Rs 7499 while the Redmi 3s prime comes with Rs 8000 price tag. In that case, cheapest are preferred Swipe Elite Sense makes sense.
AVAILABILITY
Well, this need not to be compared but as you can see, people are still struggling to get Redmi 3s Prime because of the flash sale system with that out of stock problem.
While is Swipe Elite Sense, it is available for all at Flipkart. In that case, Swipe is preferred over Redmi.
Connectivity options are bit similar so, I’m not going to talk about that and also both the smartphones have a similar type SIM card slot which is the hybrid type.
