Swipe Technologies announced the launch of its newest member in the Elite series of smartphones – the ELITE 3, which promises to take the mobile phone experience to the next level with its awesome built and incredible features available at an affordable price tag of Rs. 5,499/-. Operating on the latest Android Marshmallow 6.0 OS, ELITE 3 is the smartphone for the aspiring, upwardly mobile Indian youth. Post successful traction that Swipe has received for ELITE Star, as per internal insights, 70% of consumers have deployed regionalized OS in ELITE Star. Having witnessed such a great response, Swipe has again associated with Indus OS for ELITE 3. This product is designed for today’s youth & is targeted to the core segment of smartphone market. This phone is a JIO ready smartphone & is eligible for the Jio Happy New Year Offer.
Announcing the launch, Founder and CEO of Swipe Technologies, Mr. Shripal Gandhi said: “India might be the world’s fastest growing smartphone market but one of the biggest problems that many users face is that the user interface of most smartphones is English. Google says that Hindi content consumption, for instance, has increased five times when compared to English content in India, and even local language search queries have increased 10 times over the last 18 months alone. Taking cue from these trends, Swipe has developed a powerful smartphone that is sleek, superfast, functional, caters to regional needs and affordable too.”
The Indus OS, India’s no. 2 OS by market share, is based on Marshmallow 6.0 and it comes with a database of 200,000+ words in 12 regional languages. The Indus Reader is an OS-integrated text-to-speech facility and it also provides Word and Matra prediction for faster and smarter typing. The Indus OS also allows the users to use hybrid keyboard wherein they can type in regional language using English keyboard.
Due to language barriers, most feature phone users, especially the ones in small villages and towns don’t want to switch to smartphones. This is exactly where collaboration with Indus OS and Swipe both will bring fruitful results from the selling end.
Rakesh Deshmukh, co-founder and CEO, Indus OS said, “Smartphone technology is growing at a rapid rate in the Indian market, and our continued partnership with Swipe Technologies after the success of ELITE Star will ensure more regional language speakers are empowered with it. As an Indian OS, we aim to meet the real needs of the Indian masses through innovation. Indus OS has created an ecosystem that supports native language speaker with simplified, innovative features and localized content. This unique proposition, along with the affordably priced smartphones from Swipe Technologies will help bridge the language gap and enable faster adoption across India.
