To recap

While the Swift 1, 3 and 5 are easy to recommend, the Swift 7 is not. It costs a packet, it’s not that powerful, and the build quality is poor for the sake of keeping it ultra-thin and ultra-light. It does have an impressive screen though, which is what we come back for above all else. Overall: it’s specialised but not successful for the masses.
