Wileyfox Deals & Offers

Had one of these 18 months ago and it couldn't cope then. Far better phones around for little more. Moto g8 lite power for example was £99 the other day on here. Heck my Nokia 7.1 could be found for similar second hand.

That chin

These were decent when they were current Problem is they aren't current now so not worth it. Also not made in Britain so false marketing. I did like that they ran cyanogenmod out of the box too, great os shame other manufacturers do not use it

'British Made' does not mean anything. At least not lately.

Using an Amreican OS running on Chinese parts.

For 50 quid a 1080p phone for new is pretty decent. Perfect as a back up or for young child/grand parents. Especially since you can install custom ROM, heat

+1 - Here's the link to the Wileyfox Swift 2 Development @ XDA Developers Forums and here's the links to the Unofficial Lineage OS 15.1 and also the Unofficial Lineage OS 16.0 Custom ROMs - Install at your own risk!!! ;)

Can you run Crysis on this?

I had one of these for 2 years and was very very satisfied with it. Eventually the battery gave up but until then it was perfect as my day-to-day phone. It's amazing what 50 quid gets you these days!

They can shove it,on principle alone (devil)

I'll be surprised if the box is made in Britain :D

Sorry rubbish phone, had 2 sparks and both had probs with call cutoff, apparently caused by a rushed firmware version, nil support. Best of British tosh

Is this as British as the previous Vauxhall Vivaro? Manufactured by Renault in France but shipped to UK then bolted together?

Follow the government's actions (reject a British company's proposal to create British passports and go with a French one).

Didn’t know we reopened the mines for cobalt in Britain

We have these phones at work as scanning machines. They are pants.

Half the time the USA does stuff because the leaders they have are very easily bribed. I would not look to them for the high ground on sensible behavioiur when it comes to security.

That's why the UK needs to tow the same line as the US...national security should be prioritised over sentiment, economic gain or cheap imports!

Oh, gormless protectionism, how unusual for the US. Didn't you know UK Government have been using Huawei equipment for years already in their mobile infrastructure?

I've had one for a year and a half and it is only a reserve because of how buggy the hardware is - goes into problem and recovery mode every time you try to charge it.

If you look on the wf forums - like the reddit one linked to - you can see *lotsa* of people have issues with battery life and charging. You can also see that people are continually trying to find batteries for the 2X. Nobody has found a source yet. Seriously - this is not a good buy.

I wonder whether Oreo works properly on a factory fresh swift 2x. My one is still on 7.1.2 nougat due to the apparent huge issues people had upgrading to Oreo https://www.reddit.com/r/wileyfox/comments/8ttdqq/megathread_android_81_update_for_swift_2_range/

Neither of those is for a swift 2X.
