Wileyfox Swift deals and reviews

MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti

...You get solid performance from the Snapdragon 410, just like other 410 phones. 2GB of RAM keeps everything running smoothly too, and don't forget, you get that stand out display. Had I not already been in possession of a Moto G 2015 and a 4.7" Idol 3, I'd certainly consider the WileyFox Swift over those two.

Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne

Wileyfox's Swift is a good first effort, but it's not quite cunning enough to claim Motorola's crown.

Register Hardware | Alun Taylor

Physically the Swift is one of the most expensive-looking cheap phones you can lay hands on. (...) Absurdly good value for money.

TechRadar | Sean Cameron

With a refreshing OS, a comfortable design, great performance, nice screen and decent battery life, the WileyFox Swift is a great budget device – but regardless of the low price, it offers a great overall smartphone experience.

Android Central | Richard Devine

This is one of the best budget phone experiences you'll find. The software is slick and bloat free, the hardware is solid and nicely designed and its price is almost too cheap. The budget smartphone arena continues to get more and more interesting and you should dismiss the Wileyfox Swift at your peril.

Android Headlines | Tom Dawson

From a pure hardware standpoint, the Swift is speedy, light and easy to use in one hand. It's a little bit unexciting as far as pure design goes, but it's well made and has a great display as well as 4G connectivity. The Swift is great value for money and you get a whole lot of smartphone for your money.

Tested Technology | Chris Bidmead

If you don't mind the omission of NFC and the WiFi being only 2.4GHz (common enough limitations among this class of handset) the Swift looks like a winner.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

The Wileyfox Swift may lag behind close rivals such as the Moto G and Smart Ultra 6 for performance, battery life and all-round camera excellence, but it's still a well-specced and likeable handset that boasts impressive privacy, security and personalisation features.

Stuff | Andrew Williams

This mega-value fox is a great cheap phone, and almost a match for the Moto G.

PC Advisor | Chris Martin

For a brand-new smartphone maker's first effort, we're impressed with the Wileyfox Swift. It's a stylish little handset which offers essentially the same specs as the Moto G for less money.

The Gadget Show

The Wileyfox Swift gives you plenty of bang for your buck, sporting a slick design and a decent screen, but it's let down by its camera and battery life. Still, if you want to support a homegrown handset that doesn't feel as cheap as it should, the Wileyfox Swift is well worth a look when it launches later this month.

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

The price point is fantastic and Cyanogen has some really great features but the camera sounds better on paper than in reality and the battery fails to impress. It is great to have a new manufacturer in the mix but the Swift will need a few more iterations before it matches upto the heavies in the arena.

Trusted Reviews | Alastair Stevenson

It's a good first attempt from a new entrant to the phone market, but the Wileyfox can't quite match the best budget phones just yet.

Alphr | Vaughn Highfield

There's a part of me that desperately wants to like the plucky Wileyfox Swift. It squeezes style out of a rather simplistic design and crams a load of features into a phone that costs very little. On the other hand, Cyanogen OS features aside, there's nothing here the similarly priced competitor doesn't do better.
