Not sure if this is better? It folds smaller. However, my first really good bike was a Xootr Swift, so it holds a dear place in my heart.
I would say the Swift will be significantly cheaper and different; "better" depends on what you need from a folding bike. The Swift won't be as compact but it uses easily (and cheaply) available standard bike parts, and the bars/stem are easily swapped to a position you prefer without messing up the fold.
I'd grab that new Origami any day over the elusive and expensive Helix.
