​Yes it can. There are two sim slots and a microsd slot.

Of course you can. You'll always buy hardware cheaper that way - what you won't get is the same warranty / support.

Continuing to be tempted by this phone. Question is the back slightly curved to make it better fit in hand?
Also would it be a better investment than an Xperia z1? On paper they both have same specs z1 actually has better main camera but it's 3 years old nearly.... Confused me how they both have the same spec but I guess it was flagship at its time

Ok then, except for over Christmas when they extend the return period !!

For all the fans of the Wileyfox and cyanogen os can I ask how does this phone compare with the bq aquaris x5? I've seen a lot about the Wileyfox and been resisting it for ages but recently found out about the x5.
Design build it looks more appealing to me. It's available from o2 for 119 which I think is a great price for the specs which seem to be pretty much same as the wf swift. unlocked it jumps to about 180 which kinda takes away from the budget tactic.
So I'm wondering 2 things:
1 - why is this so rarely heard of and yet the swift is doing pretty successfully when from what I can see on paper both have the same spec
2 - is the price difference to get the x5 unlocked worth it over the swift (or which is the better phone)

Hi,

Does anyone know when this will be getting the Marshmallow update please?

I was on a Moto G 2 and that had already got the Marshmallow update.


Many Thanks

And there is a pic on the first page as well. 2 sim card + 64gb sd in my case as well. There is no hybrid sd/sim card you can have all three of them in the Swift, which is nice.

2nd sim slot doubles as the micro sd slot, confirmed.

I'm in the market for a cheap, effective smartphone. Do you think that the Vodaphone Smart Ultra 6 is a better option?

This phone is great for the price..... also no problems so far.
Thanks to this site I now have a fab phone, tablet and smart watch for less than £300!!!

Dont buy this phone people - its false economy: poor build quality, unreliable with dodgy support. Here is my experience. Impressed with so many positive reviews , I bought this phone and even recommended it to my partner- he bought one too. Before, I had Motorola 2nd generation but sadly it got stolen.This phone doesnt compare very well to my previous one- despite having better specifications listed . First let down is battery life- draining very fast with modest use, nowehere near to what was promised. Second thing is the compass and GPS. Even with a Wifi and mobile data for "high accurancy" it struggles very badly- forget it in the car , it will dance around the side roads and will stop and then jump back on -after you are already lost! I like to use my phone abroad for navigation- obviously without Wifi and mobile data to avoid charges -using offline navigation apps like Sygic .My previous phone- Moto G was excellent with it, but Swift will obviously be a failure for offline navigation judging by how badly it struggles even on online "high accurancy" mode. I have emailed Wilefox Swift support about these issues and they gave me a Google website link to recaliberate the compass (!)- to basically tilt phone up and down, let and right. It doesnt look like they will be any good help during 2 year of warranty period if phone develops more faults(very likely). My partners phone also developed a fault -with a speaker- sounda of apps notifications are crackling and high pitched. We will both returning these phones to the retailer and Im getting new Motorola.

I'd settle for 4.5 if it was a minute bezel, but it's gotta be pocketable.
The Sony compacts are the ideal size as far as I can see, but they are getting bigger as well, and they are far from compact.
I was happy with a first gen moto e, but even they got bigger :-(
Bring me back my moto RAZR I, all will be forgiven.

Yes thanks, I first heard about the ulefone power via those links a few days back,
I have been researching them since, seems very impressive especially the large battery and low price. I'll post something in the links you included, cheers

I have Honor7, and love it. Though I must admit that without customising the settings for power control, it does drain the battery. I've sorted that now and can't fault it.

Honor 5x, best sub £200 dual sim phone

Great phone especially at that price, although on the specs it says up to a 32gb micro SD card I have a 128gig in mine and it works just fine

Thanks for that!

Not true...I had an honor 7 for 6 weeks over Christmas...wasn't entirely happy with it, sent it back for a refund on the last eligible day...

a nice phone

With cyanogenmod, would apps like Barclays bank app see this as a rooted phone? as I know this app won't work on phones that are rooted.

I got one of these last time it was this price at Amazon. Superb phone for the price. Also, when I registered the phone on the WileyFox web site they sent me one of their £10 phone covers for free. Worth giving this a try before buying a cover.

Been doing some research and the one that stands out for me atm is the ulefone power, large screen, fairly good specs, 2 Sims/ 1SIM and sd card storage, finger print scanner and a 6000mah battery. Under £130.
Anyone own one?
Love to hear feedback

Motorola with their overpriced G won`t like this. :smirk:

has this got NFC?

Unless you're completely desperate for dual sim, I can't understand why you'd buy this over the Ultra 6. The Ultra is just superb for the money.

I was just about to buy the honor x5 which has come up on HUKD, but now have seen this. Any advise on which one I should get? Many thanks (HUKD has saved me lots on purchases over the years, keep up the good work).

some nice review to watch: https://youtu.be/81Mu0S5PnVg

Its a great price,but storage problems can be a nightmare if your not tech savy.Stick with my moto 3rd gen for now.

That 30-day return policy is only for unused goods, otherwise it is the normal 14 days statutory right of cancellation policy..

I keep seeing this smart ultra 6. Surely they come pre loaded with all the Vodafone crap that you can't remove. I got a zte blade 6 from Argos awhile back. Was refreshing to get a phone that didn't come pre loaded with crap that you never use.

I just don't want the 5" screen, otherwise i'd be getting one. I really want all this tech in a 4.3" phone...

Smart ultra 6 same price, miles better.

What's better; this or a refurbished Samsung Note 3/iPhone 5s?

No offence but gee ! A lot of people have work mobiles provided by employers and their own personal mobiles so dual-sim mobiles are a godsend as we can just put the sim from our work mobiles in our own mobile phone to save having to carry two phones around. You don't use both sims at the same time of course, but it does allow us to choose which sim we want to use for our work-related or personal calls. On my Moto G 2nd gen dual sim phone, it can remember which sim I used for any call and if I want it to, will automatically use that sim again every time I call the same number.

seems very expensive to me, even at £99.99.
Spend around £60-£75 and you can get a fantastic phone from Chinese EU based warehouses like gearbest etc

Would have has this if I didn't just get a Note 3

Got my dad one, he loves it! Cases are a massive ballache to find tho.

Great phone, my mum's got one.

I got this phone the last time it was at this price in December. I had been thinking about the new Moto g but glad I got the Wileyfox as the price difference isn't justified in my opinion. I've had no problems with it...it's zippy and does everything I need no problem. Can't comment about games however.

Got one of these for 80 when the £20 off warehouse deal was on didn't have a mark on it decent for that but not worth any more

I bought it a few weeks ago for £129, can I ask for a credit from Amazon? By the way it is a very god phone, I like the Cyanogen OS.

Unfortunately I've had to send two of these phones back as they developed different faults after only a few weeks use. On the first one the rear camera failed and the second one had issues with bubbles appearing under the glass on the screen and also a wobbly usb socket.

I bought this phone when it was at its previous low price a few months ago. Loved it for a couple of weeks until my clash of clans and boom beach apps started taking 5 mins to load for some reason, no game updates, reinstalled them, couldn't solve it so returned for a refund. Was sorry to have to give it up, cyanogen is fantastic

Have the Motorola Moto X (another Hukd deal) now and although it isn't as customisable in terms of operating system, battery is rather average (turbocharging helps with that) and the camera is average (I don't take many pics anyway) I'm happy with it.

Both sims go in phone and are connected, I could be wrong on this but think sim1 works on full 3g/4g status and sim2 on 2g. Basically both sims work for normal phone calls etc independently , 2 phone numbers, one phone.

How can you use 2 sims at same time?

I agree with that. The Smart Ultra 6 has a more powerful processor and a better full HD screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels compared to the Wileyfox's 1280×720. The 5.5" screen on the Smart Ultra is quite large portability-wise but great in use. The big plus for the Wileyfox is if you really need a dual sim mobile.

Been after one of these had to go for it. Maybe not super top of the range but about as much as I want to spend on a phone. Will hopefully be faster than my old Samsung galaxy ace 2 I'm struggling along with :smiley:

......for two sim cards?
If you're like me and sick of carting your work and personal phone around these are great

Bought this from Amazon last time it was on £99. Had it for a few days and sent it back. Found it pretty laggy compared to my ZTE Blade S6 which was also £100 from Argos. Liked the customizability of the O/S but the performance of some of the games I played and video rendering didn't compare to close what I was getting off the ZTE. Eventually sold the ZTE and bought a One Plus X following my experience of the O/S. Appreciate its double the price but it's well worth it (queue abuse) but I won't buy another budget phone again. My Gen 1 Moto G out performed this.

This seems naive but why do you need 2 sim slots?

Bought this phone at christmas for someone. Fantastic device and for the money you can't go wrong.

Tempted, but negative reviews remind of previous experience with cheap phones/tablets. Can't imagine build quality is anything like my moto g, so wouldn't take long for me to break it.

Yes it has two sim slots, and a memory slot! One nigle with this phone is the chargeing slot is slightly recessed and can be a struggle to keep charging conector in place! Other than that great fast phone!

I have the phone, yes two sim slots and mem card slot! vice please - can this have 2 sims installed plus an sd card or does the second SIM slot share with sd? Thanks in advance.[/quote]2nd sim slot doubles as the micro sd slot, confirmed.[/quote]

Do you have more information / what is Cyanogen 12.1
Thanks.

have one of these. great phone for the money.

Anyone recommend this over the Huawei P8 Lite?

Okay thanks. Weird. Well this is a deal breaker for me. The last three phones i've own have developed problems with the power button recessing into the phone so need one with double tap.

People comparing this phone to a Samsung or Huawei are insane. A cheap phone doesn't make it a great phone. What about call quality, screen, camera, GPS, Wifi etc?

Bought one for a birthday present - I'm sure this will be better than the MotoG (1GB RAM and limited storage..)

Thanks, done that also but it's annoying for downloads straight to phone,can't even seem to move them after downloading ( no option)

Bought one from amazon marketplace couple of weeks ago. Great phone for the price, was a replacement for my lost oppo 7a and apart from a smaller screen size haven't really noticed much difference in performance, and speakers on phone give quite a good sound , much better than the oppo or previous Sammy's I've owned. Only thing still baffling me is how to set storage for mp3's etc to sd card rather than phone storage, if anyone has answer I'd be gratefull. Can also confirm it works with 2 separate sim card + separate sd card at same time, 3 separate slots on phone. Couple of links to previous deals on here for opinions:

Better half has one and she loves it. Seems decent for the price. She did say the camera isn't the best but considering how cheap it is she is happy.

I would point out that depending on what USB cable you use it's very easy for them to slip out when plugged in. There doesn't seem to be any resistance to hold most USB cables in place and the included cable is very short. Became a real pain for her when she plugged it in at night to find the cable had slipped out in the morning so didn’t have a full charge.

But thanks to the advice of someone on here we discovered that the white USB cables from Poundland seem to stay in well without falling out.

Comparing a 5in phone to a 5.5in is crazy. It's quite a leap. This should be compared to motoG etc.

ee and tpo even

son has dual sim. were and tpo with 32sd card all working in harmony

got for this at Christmas for tech son dual some can customs security, v good highly recomended

Perfectly timed! Middle son's original Moto G is struggling where it's memory constrained, but he didn't want to go as physically big as the Smart Ultra 6 that I and my wife have. This is spot on in terms of size, expandability, and price, and the camera isn't bad either!

Can you double tap to wake on this phone?

I need a dual sim for work, as my work mobile doesnt have any data, samsung j5 was a contender, huawei honor 5x and this ticks the boxes also, or is there somthing else due out,

I bought one of these last month and ended up sending it back unfortunately. Couldn't get a data signal when I wasnt connected to WiFi. sound quality making and receiving calls was just terrible. charging slot for cable would only fit the charger supplied, any other would fall out, (slot too deep?) was really disappointed as everything else about the phone was fantastic. :disappointed:

I'm not getting into a spec war. And I'm not denying the great spec of the Ultra 6--but it had a cheap feel to me and the phone itself was a God dam monster. This is getting my £100 quid.

Heat

Advice please - can this have 2 sims installed plus an sd card or does the second SIM slot share with sd? Thanks in advance.

Damn just bought the su6 would have prefrrred this for screen size

exceptional phone at this price point. puts Samsung etc to shame.

How does it compare to Huawei P8 Lite?

Depends on what you want - the honor x5 covers more GSM bands so might be better in america etc and has a fingerprint scanner - I have this phone and i really like it.

I cant personally speak for this phone, but it gets good reviews, I paid about £130 for the Honor X5 so think thats better for me than this,but YMMV
