A lot of phone for not so much money compared to other smartphones.

Wileyfox is a British smartphone manufacturer based in London - SUPPORT UK BUSINESSES.
Wileyfox's current CEO is Nick Muir, former general manager of Motorola UK.
Fresh-faced British upstart Wileyfox is hoping to make a name for itself in contract-free smartphones, joining plenty of other manufacturers searching for the perfect balance between performance and price. Today Wileyfox has announced its higher-end Storm smartphone is now up for grabs for £199. That much buys you a dual-SIM, 4G device with a 1.5GHz octa-core Snapdragon 615 CPU, 3GB of RAM, 32 gigs of expandable storage, a 2,500mAh battery, 20-megapixel rear camera with Sony sensor and an 8MP selfie snapper.
Enveloping all those components is a 5.5-inch full HD display and a grainy, matte finish shell complemented by sunset orange highlights, with fan-favourite, Android-based Cyanogen OS running the show.
How different is Cyanogen to stock android? Do I still get apps from the play store? (got a nexus 4)

Yeah as previously said, you get access to the play store. It's very similar to stock android with a few added customisation and productivity tweaks, some that usually require rooting.

I run CyanogenMod on my phone. I had a Nexus 4 before too. Cyanogen is very much like stock android but with a few added useful features.
Play store works fine.

Pretty nice spec for the money and Cyanogenmod support is also a plus. Can't help feeling they missed a trick with the battery though, if the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 can fit in 3000mAh surely Wileyfox could too? Although SU6 will likely not see an update past 5.1.1. Anyone seen any reviews, especially where battery life is concerned?

If they let us root, I'd consider it.

I asked WF via Twitter a month or so ago about factory support for unlocking the bootloader and root, all they did was favourite my post and gave no answer at all - I'll be sitting on the fence for a while and seeing what sort of support it gets on XDA.

This looks just like my one plus one, however cheaper in price. the Cyanogen os means it should not need rooting as it has the tweaks that stock does not, however rooting will allow you more customisation. Can use it with google play apps with no problem. good price and specs, heat from me and would be my choice of not already got one plus one.

I like it. Dual sim and good specs. But no cases out there for it. I'll wait a bit as I've slippery fingers...
