I have had a Swift for about 3 years now, and we have 5 others in the family that have been running for a couple of years.
We paid about £100 each for them, and they were good value for money at the time I bought them, nothing else could come near on price for the same spec. I have been very pleased with them.
Sadly now there will be no more software upgrades so I will have to sideload my own upgrades as I plan to keep running these phones for a year or two more yet.

Very sorry to hear this. Have had my Spark + for about a year with few problems. Parrticularly good now that it runs the latest Android. A few days ago I had to return a faulty Samsung A5 whilst the WF keeps performing well. Sad if the market is swallowed up by two or three giant corporations. We need variety and choice and the WF was a decent mid-range low cost alternative. Hope the funding mechanism can be sorted and the phone returns.

Andy, 08 Feb 2018That's because iPhones suck too. Many better android phones for around £200. Lenovo p2, ... moreWhatever you think of iPhones, they are rated highly...I looked at the phones you mentioned but none were as cheap as the swift 2x.. Actually they were about 40% more expensive... Regardless of spec, a very well optimised phone with stock android and no bloatware

Andy, 08 Feb 2018No surprise. Their phones were not that great and expensive for what they offeredI bought a swift 2x phone in July last year for £149 and it compares very very well to my partner's iPhone 7s so I have to completely disagree with your post.

I had the first Wileyfox Swift, it was AMAZYING for it's price and after getting bored of Redmi thought to get the upcoming Wileyfox phone..
Sad to see that they've chose Russia as partner since after Russia's aggression in Ukraine, they're under sanctions, every year dozens of Banks going bankrupt, which is exactly what they deserve, but too bad it's actually hurting such a cool brand as Wileyfox..

I am happy with my android one in my Moto X4.

Andy, 08 Feb 2018No surprise. Their phones were not that great and expensive for what they offeredIn my country Fileyfox phones were priced very competetively, better than most Chinese brands. And unlike those Chinese phones, Wilefox supports all local LTE bands.
That's quite sad.
