Compared to a broken phone , this is 100 times better :smile:

Perfect apart from the 5.5" screen, 5" is the sweet spot for phones IMO.

can see why its discounted

take a look at the reviews on amazon of the waits ppl have had for replacement screens etc if your happy to be without a phone for over a month then its all good

very poor customer service avoid

This or the Xiaomi?

Now out of stock............. Still plenty of the Swift 2 Plus without the case and screen card at £139.99.

no nfc

Or a slippery soap!!

whats the build quality like. the original felt like a toy.

Is this pronounced as Willy-Fox her?

Shame about the name though.

Hows this compete with my LG G3 which is currently broken?

That was very thoughtful of you.

Just a thought, there you go: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lenovo-p2-huge-battery-fast-charging-decent-specs-199-10-top-up-three-2600354

I bought this from Amazon last week. Very impressed when I unboxed it - had a 'premium feel' to it and the packaging. I've always had a top-end phone every time I renewed my contract but just thought it was getting a bit pointless paying £50 a month when I could buy this and £10 a month on a sim.

I'd say the only real downside is the phone tends to crash and have to reset if you use it to make calls, not every single time, maybe about 30% of the time. I have to say I think this is a drawback when it comes to a phone as making calls was one of the features I would use regularly. A quick search on google suggests this is a common problem and is down to the firmware

Be aware that the Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus is also available on Amazon £10 cheaper than this deal without the screen card and the case...£139.99. Also available in WhiteGold and Rose Pink as well as Midnight Blue at £139.99

Link please? Just a thought...

It already has been. Just a thought.

Unless you can't stand a 5.5" screen there is little reason to buy this over Moto G4?

I posted the same deal here 6 weeks ago - has not yet expired.

Seems mine never generated as much heat :disappointed:

I'm not using one myself, currently on a Xiaomi until the Oneplus5, but I set my Mum up with a Swift 2 and I was seriously impressed! Especially for the £££... and since the Nougat update the battery level has been out of this world; 2 days easily, with heavy usage :stuck_out_tongue:

I got this deal for another relative the other day at this price, just waiting for it now. I think the only difference between the 2 and the 2 Plus is the Samsung camera sensor, right?

Heated OP!

Post it as a deal then and stop trolling this one. Just a thought.

I've got one and it's brilliant. I can't fault it for value.

I came down to either this or the Lenovo P2 and I opted for the P2 in the end with it's 5100 mAh battery.

Have had one of these for a couple of months - it looks good (mine is pink) and has received favourable comments at work. It does everything I need it to do - you can always pay more money to get better this, that or the other, but if you don't need or want to, then this is a good buy. Never had any issues with it crashing as someone else has mentioned....

Bought a Xiaomi Mi 5 posted on here for £172, arrived yesterday and it seems a much better deal than this.

Still available for £178

Edit: bought mine from gearbest but that has now expired.

You wouldn't pay 230 quid for this but at 150 it is pretty decent and I would take it over the Moto G4, whatever "expertreviews" say. My son has the Swift 2 and it is a cracking little phone, adding a better camera and an extra gig of ram makes it even better. One great thing I got with my son's phone was free screen replacement for a year.

Was thinking buying whiley one time , purely on looks and uk base

but that and the seemingly very mediocre performance has put me off

can see why its discounted

lenovo p2 does look like a good shout :wink:

isn't lenovo P2 for 200 a much better buy. just a thought.

Do these come with all the bloatware that was included in the latest WF upgrade?

Great phone for the price, Nougat update is excellent too

oh forgot about the infinite battery 5100mah

p2 has full hd 1080p Amoled screen apart from 4gb ram Snapdragon 625. too much to miss for a mere 50. just a thought

A seriously impressive phone sold here by Amazon. 3GB Ram, 16MP camera etc. Less than £150.

I'm sure the 1p will make all the difference to the hold-outs.
