[Review] Swegue: the 7Mobile smartphone that promises to surprise

General characteristics of "Swegue"

O 7 Mobile Swegue is a smartphone that 7Mobile fits in the middle range and has a 5.5 inch screen, support for 2 Micro SIM cards, dual rear camera of 13 Mega Pixels + 0.3 MP and a front camera of 5 Mega Pixels. As you can, starting with the specifications of the cameras, Swegue didn't come “to play”! Most importantly, the price is less than 50 thousand AKZ.

Hardware and Design

Interface and Performance

7Mobile Swegue has pre-installed Android 7, in a very clean version, without major customizations and proprietary applications, leaving the mobile phone faster. The background paper with the 7Mobile logo is the first visible change.

Swegue has a 1.5GHz processor, Quad Core and 2GB of RAM. The performance with common applications - Messages, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Camera and two games - was quite satisfactory, with all these applications open, the smartphone did not crash.

An interesting feature in Swegue, is the “Inteligent assist“, Which allows us to add new features to the smartphone, such as making a screenshot with 3-point pressure on the screen. Believe me, making screenshots without pressing physical buttons is useful!

The fingerprints delivers on what it promises - unlock your smartphone faster, the position of the sensor makes it easy for any user, right-handed or left-handed. However, please note that if your fingers are damp, you will have difficulty recognizing fingerprints.

Benchmark Results

Just as we did with Kamba, Benchmark tests can help you understand performance in a more technical way.

AnTuTu v.6.2.7
Result: 33945

Geekbench 4
Single Core Result: 665
Multi Core Result: 1803

Comparing the results with those obtained by “Kamba”, we can confirm that the performance is superior. If we have to compare the Multi-Core performance with that of another smartphone (even if released some time ago), it would be the LG Nexus 5, which leaves the 7 Mobile Swegue in very good company.

Office Supplies

The specifications of the 7 Mobile Swegue's cameras excited us right from the start: 13Mega Pixels + 0.3MP dual rear camera, with SONY IMX135 sensor. It doesn't matter if you want to take panoramic photos, selfies, night photos… the cameras of the “Swegue” behaved very well and will certainly please young people in Angola who publish many photos on social networks. The 5MPixel front camera perfectly fulfills its most common function: selfies!

Battery life

Conclusion

Swegue is rated mid-range, largely because of its 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, however, for a smartphone rated 47.000,00 AKZ
(on average), Swegue exceeded our expectations.

• Dual rear camera, the battery life, Android 7.0 operating system and price.
• With a 13MP quality camera, users will be “addicted” to photos, so 16GB of storage will not be enough. We understand that there is a chance to use a memory card (T-Flash), but the performance ends up dropping. This is an improvement point for Swegue.
