It's CyanogenOS so it is android, just more customisable, more features, and with better security/privacy.

Dual sim + SD...great phone had mine for a month now

Foreign?
Lol the wileyfox is very British.

And I only accidentally liked your post.

This isn't even a proper Android phone though...

It is £129.99 now :disappointed:

not experienced any overheating personally, but it takes and age to charge

Would this make a good replacement for the LG G2?
Looking to replace it (damaged) for no more than around £150

The G3 has been suggested but I'm a little concerned by the battery and overheating issue, though I can mod it, if that'll improve things in that regard?

Yes...Thats the one I bought...good fit and feel

I bought this one - Your text here

There's another one that has a wood effect which looks good as well

no NFC so cold for me unfortunately :smiley:

I bought the cheapest silicone case I could find on ebay...search for "silicone case wileyfox swift" and sort by cheapest+postage.

Its a good quality silicone and has a rougher back texture on it for better grip. £2.95 delivered

Always buy this sort of case...not too bulky (compared to a wallet type) and will protect the phone from drops. Never had a cracked screen myself, but that's not to say this will protect it from certain drops

This one... Case that fits...

Those appear to be just as reclusive lol

So if anyone comes across stuff then you know what they say - sharing is caring :smiley:

Yes it comes with one pre-installed.

Back to £126 now.

Is there a screen protector film on the screen as standard? I have a small bubble/peeling edge on my screen (on the power button side) and hoping its just a screen protector film I can just dispose of.

​Screen protector pre-installed.

Don't have any direct recommendations on these but when you're searching for accessories you can also try looking for accessories for the 'Cherry Mobile One G1' and the 'General Mobile 4G' as those phones seem to be differently badged versions of the same phone.

+1 - Looking for a decent holster case, spare USB charging cable and a compatible Bluetooth Keyboard.

Thx op
Anyone recommend case, screen protector or any other accessories

You can download another keyboard from the Google Play store - there are loads to choose from - and then change the settings on your phone (Language and Input) so that your chosen keyboard becomes the default.

For the case I just use a basic TPU gel case that can be found on Amazon and (cheaper) on Ebay. It does the job - the 'lip' of the case on the front means that the screen doesn't touch the surface if you put the phone face down and likewise on the back of the phone the camera is slightly recessed, giving it some protection from accidental scratching. Should also provide some (small) degree of cushioning if the phone is dropped.

Love this phone so far, really good. Miss the keyboard from my samsung though, is there a way to change keyboard?, also looking for a nice slim case

It was a toss up for me, and in the end I plummeted for the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6. The reviews online can' praise the ultra 6 enough and personally after axweek of using it, i love it! Mixed reviews of the Wileyfox though hence my decision. Dual sim wasn't that important for me, if it is though that maybe the phone for you.

Thank you for this reply mate, really helpful.

I don't own an M8 so not sure. This is a good phone and I'd expect it to be a little bit but not much slower than an M8 and it also has a lower screen resolution. Depending on how you use your phone you may not notice much difference. It does have some advantages over the M8 (IMO) in that it has a replaceable battery and dual SIM slots.

You could also consider the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 - If you're quick there is a £99 deal on that covered in this thread:

Thank you - good news that the Marshmallow update is being pushed out and thanks for the advice on the sd card.

Hi, I'd guess so yes, when I woke up yesterday morning had a system update message on phone. Took around 10 mins to download and install, in terms of the SD card it will say " new SD card found" , just bear in mind if you want to use it for direct storage it will require the SD card in phone to be formatted so if you have anything on your card back it up first.
Can't remember what it said in "about phone " part under settings before but now I have:
Android version 6.0.1
Cyanogen os version 13.0
CyanogenMOD API level
Dragon fruit (4).

I went the craft knife route myself - plenty of old micro USB cables floating around. It's a bit of an effort but after a few minutes work with the knife, along with finishing off with fine sandpaper and files, it looks good enough.

Mine didn't want to switch on out of the box...no life in it whatsoever after a few minutes on the charger.

Pulled battery a few times and was just about to give up, when it came to life.

Not the finely packaged item Ive come to expect from more established brands, but happy with the customisation Im getting.

My myriad of previous USB charging cables are all too blocky to fit the charge port (now I have a silicone case on it) and will need some craft knifing I think

I went for the cheapest black case on ebay and it arrived before the phone did. Case still has a nice feel to it effectively un-brands the phone...Knight Rider'esq

Now to look for bigger SD Cards and get a 4G upgrade from provider

Hi ukwomble - was that the update to Cyanogen13 mentioned by syman?

No sign of it on my phone unfortunately :disappointed:

Got update through today and has sorted out my only gripe with phone, you can now download straight to SD card

I bought mine when it was last on offer, the dual SIM works fine for me as i have both work (Voda) and my personal (Virgin/EE) and have had no problems with crashes.
The camera is more than capable for my needs. And i use a charging lead bought from poundland without any issues.

I beleive that cyanogenOS 13 is being rolled out now too.

Thanks Tokamo, I'm going to contact Wileyfox because it's becoming tiresome. I got it soon after release so it might be an issue that newer handsets don't experience.

Anyone recomend a charging lead with the longer micro usb?

Looking again, it seems you are not alone with the crashes - a few people have experienced a similar issue with crashes during calls - this thread on xda talks about a similar issue though no solution found other than getting a replacement from Wileyfox.

I'm sorry to hear that - usually it fixes issues rather than makes them worse - did you reinstall all your apps immediately after the reset? I ask in case the problem is related to one of the apps installed rather than the phone / OS itself.

I've been having more crashes than ever since the factory reset :disappointed:

Every time a Wileyfox swift deal is posted you can almost count down the mins till Smart Ultra 6 fan boys pop on......

How will this compare with a htc one m8?

Just broke mine and its almost as cheap just to get this.

I just dont want anything considerably slower; not bothered about camera etc.

I have a Nokia 130 Dual Sim and a Lumia 550...and yet somehow I've just bought the Swift, even though I really don't need it...DAMN YOU HUKD, WHY, WHY!!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks - I'm glad it helped you.

got it today.....my Bro is so far very pleased with it as his Portuguese sim works in it with out issue!!! :0) one again, thanks for posting :smile:

​thanks for your oh so helpful answer :smiley:

​thanks for your oh so helpful answer :smiley:

I've already rooted the phone using kingroot... Many choices now are to leave them frozen, accept they defrost on restart and refreeze everytime I restart thee device or chance uninstalling them using titaniumbackup but risk bricking.
I cannot find a custom rom to flash not that I'd even know how. I can find a stock rom but apparently it's part of the stock rom.

Thank you

After reading this checked your problem and spotted your whoas on Androidforum,personally would try root using Kingroot,worth the risk.The other day tried to get root for CM13 on a DG550,installed Supersu 2.7 in recovery and could not get binaries to install.So tried Kingroot 4.9 and it worked... http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/root-lg-g3-marshmallow-kingroot-version-t3285935

I don't recommend this phone. I bought one and the GPS was totally broken, apparently this is not unusual.
Luckily I was able to return it within two weeks.

Really interesting device. Does it have FM radio receiver? Also any one knows how about battery performance under heavy use?

Yes it is "proper android". I never got any spam calls from 0845 nos on Cyanogen, and I really miss that.
CM is more 'proper' Android than a Samsung is.

i just bought an infocus m560 and as much as it's a beautiful phone that could be a joy to use, it has something called "pandora's box services" installed which has permissions to pretty much everything. I think it's some kind of malware as it seems to have no relevance to the phone, i have no idea it's purpose. It cant be disabled or uninstalled, it overruled my attempts to block it from the web on netguard. i've had to root and now have it frozen using titanium backup pro HOWEVER they both automatically defrost when the phone is restarts so again are able to over ride things. it seems they are deeply embedded in the rom.
apparently it is featured on all eu stock roms.

so unless you plan on flashing a custom rom to the device or can figure out this "pandora's box"mystery that has me & the guys at xda & android forums stumped, i'd avoid this device.

got this at £125 and I'm happy at that price. dual sim for work, micro SD, decent performance. at £99.99 it's a bargain.

Why do people need dual SIM slots? Is this how people cheat these days?

Mine definitely has 2 sims and a micro SD functioning together, hope that helps.

I haven't tried a factory reset but will do, it's been one of those irritations I haven't got round to dealing with. It only started happening about January time and I don't mind diner dash crashing on occasion :confused: but it has mainly crashed when a call comes in, highly irritating, especially when I use it for work. Other glitch I've had is occasionally when watching embedded videos it plays audio but the image freezes after a couple of seconds, resolves if I cast the video, so pretty sure it's a software problem, rather than the video.

I loved it to begin with and recommended to a colleague, but had to withdraw the recommendation after recent crashes, luckily he hadn't bought it yet. I wish I could be more positive. I'm a pretty heavy user and I always get more than a day out of the battery. Will report back after a reset, but the crashing isn't frequent enough for me to be helpful for this thread. At the price I'd probably still be tempted as I seem to be in a minority.

I'll stick with my HTC Desire 626

I have one of these, and the battery life is pretty poor. Other than that, it's a really nice phone.

I've been looking at this or a ZTE axon mini for the same price, can't decide which now hmm

I bought one of these phones last December and can highly recommend it. I don't know if they still do this, but when I registered my phone on the WileyFox web site they sent me one of their £10 covers for free. Worth a try before you go buying a cover or case.

He who dares wins Rodney. Clicked on the Amazon link, it said if I order within two minutes I can have it tomorrow, we're off to Menorca on Wednesday morning and my wife dropped her Nexus 5 and cracked the screen, this is only marginally dearer than a repair so I thought I'd go for it. She's not the slightest bit interested in technical specs so as long as she can take photos of the family with it and receive calls without it being laggy or clunky she'll be happy.

I bought this phone in September and it's both fab and rubbish at the same time. Has excellent battery, really fast and multi tasks much better than my moto G 2nd gen. Feels great in your hand and gets lots of compliments. Downsides have been multiple crashes and often during phonecalls, or while trying to answer the phone. Sims can't be as well as managed as with the moto G eg assigning certain contacts to each SIM which worked well as I use mine for work.
Overall I live with the problems, majority of the time the phone works well. Wouldn't recommend on the basis that it's too glitchy.

No crashes for me yet but I haven't had it long.

Looking round on the web I can't see anything other than a few random mentions (no consistency to reports) of apps crashing and none of the Cyanogen OS crashing. With any smart phone I think you are going to get occasionally crashes of apps or OS reboots - certainly all my previous smartphones have crashed more than once.

Didn't read your post correctly. Soz :disappointed:

Get in quick simont_space, Oppo F1 flash sale is on now.

http://europe.oppostyle.com/f1-flash-sale

I thought you had found the solution but it says on Amazon that it's either 2 SIMS or 1 SIM and 1 microSD card. I want 2 SIMs and 1 microSD card in at the same time.

Ranieri is also a WileyFox he's outfoxed d BPL wth LeicesterCity #LOL

Yes and I needed root to be able to link big games' downloads onto my SD card.

This or the Huawei P8 Lite from Vodafone at £79?

CyanogenOS has root disabled and is a different beast to Cyanogenmod (which allows root access). There currently isn't a Marshmallow build of CyanogenOS, but there are nightlies of Cyanogenmod 13 (based on Marshmallow)

Excellent phone for the money. Was a bit of a pain to root but managed it at the end and has been well worth the effort. Any recommendations for a good bumper case as the one I bought from Amazon turned out to be absolutely rubbish?

I'm sure that the Oppo F1 is the same as most 4G Dual-SIM phones. You can enable 3G/4G data on either slot, but not at the same time. The priority SIM (with data enabled) can use 3G/4G, the secondary SIM is 2G only (for texts/calls only), which 3 (Three UK) does not support.

Will the Wileyfox Swift accept two 3 sims in both sim card slots? I know the data will be only active in one sim slot, as long as I can still receive calls on the other. I am a very low data user so plan on getting the 200mb 3 data reward sim to go alongside an existing 3-2-1 3 sim.

Are there any other phones in this price bracket or similar which can take 2 x 3 sims? Thank you

A smartphone manufactured in Britain would need to cost three times this price to break even.

I got the white one on Saturday its a superb phone, I am really happy with it I prefer it to my daughters moto G 3 Gen, its lighter and I really like the Cyanogen I haven't got a whole heap of unwanted crap, the multi coloured notification LED is really handy.. its a great phone for the price. HOT HOT

How is the support for this phone? I see on their site its like £10 for a screen replacement / 3 year warranty. Will this be honoured okay still? Has anyone actually had a broken phone fixed?

this of the huawei p8 lite?

phones like this are killing flagship £700 phones and its a great thing imho

Been waiting for this to come back into stock on Oppo EU site as it was down to £125 delivered, but on Amazon for £170 https://www.amazon.co.uk/OPPO-F1-Dual-SIM-Free-Smartphone/dp/B01A5FA3EC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462191637&sr=8-1&keywords=Oppo+F1

I bought one a couple of days ago. It's great but the battery doesn't seem to last as well as the MOTO G.

Excellent phone Brought one for the wife much better then the storm, was disappointed with my storm battery life was poor and had to send off for repair then came back with another fault so have to send it off again customer service is really poor, glad i got the oppo find 7 deal much better then the storm also installed cyanogen on it.

Bought one from the last deal. Set it up this morning. Apart from the micro usb port being recessed, if seems like a lovely phone, and if you buy at £99, it is a real bargain.

2 Questions please guys, 1 are both sims active at same time 2 can anyone recommend a nice slim case for this?. Thanks

I've had this phone for just over a month now and I've had no problems at all with the GPS (i've used it with Co-pilot, my-trails and with Google). I did read about the prob you referred to but I think they sorted it out at least I certainly haven't experienced it.

Dual sim + SD...great phone had mine for a month now

Dual sim + SD....great phone had mine a month now...recommended

What's the camera like on this? My wife has the Smart Ultra 6 which is a similar price point and the camera is really poor.

Got one of these when it was on offer a few week ago. love it so far. seems good for the price. Got 2 sims in it and a micro sd in so you can have both in this model. I think the one up form this the storm uses one of the slots for a sim or a mico sd strangely so this is better if you want the 2 sims.

Also even though it says it will take a 32GB micro sd card I am using a 64 with no problem.

The Wileyfox isn't made in Britain, though, they are made in China for a British company as far as I know. And the screen will be very important on the Sammy as you will be looking at an empty one a lot when that paltry 8GB memory gets full :man:

£35 more for Amoled Screen + Samsung quality.. Any day :smiley: Made in Britain is worrying.

This or a vodafone ultra 6? unlocked on ebay for £1.50

I have just replaced my Moto 2 second generation, which seems to be trying to go back to the dark ages, as it was taking forever to do anything. I did my research and bit the bullet and brought, in the end, the Samsung Galaxy J5, and so glad that I have. What a difference and just a dream to use. The reason that I did not buy the Wileyfox is that I have used foreign dual phones before, and imo just find that they have no back up to fixing problems. The deal was on Amazon and I paid £134.00 and I just wished that I had did my homework properly and brought this before the Moto 2nd gen.

Ordered one of these in the week, arrived on Saturday.

Have had dual sim phones before - I can confirm you can have 2 SIM cards and a MicroSD card in this phone all at once. You set a default for mobile internet and can either set a default or select per call/text when you click send/call.

Screen resolution is good, OS seems responsive (Cyanogen mod has a huge following and means it doesn't come with all of the usual apps that brands pack on the phone)

Previously had an Elephone P8000 so it's a bit smaller (5" compared to 5.5") but actually for someone with smaller hands, it's much easier to hold/use.

Great price as well, I have a SIM only contract so with the savings from that and price of these types of phone, I can afford to replace it every year if something catches my eye.

You're in a Western European country and you're asking if a phone for sale here will work in another Western European country?

I'll make this easy for you, yes, yes it will.

This isn't even a proper Android phone though...

Yes both sims and sd card, as said you chose which some for calls data etc

Fairly sure you can't occupy 2 SIM and the MicroSD simultaneously - the 2nd port is dual purpose, so one or the other.

Same price at four months ago in December. The price should drop further.

Oh and the Sammy j5....:0)

thanks looks a good deal.

thanks for posting and heated up :smiley: .....was looking for this to drop again as my brother is looking for a good cheap to use in Portugal.....will this work there! currently looking also at the cubot H1, cubot x16, alcatel idol 3 and this very phone too.....

CamelCamelCamel shows that this is the joint cheapest new price so far:
