It's the first Wileyfox I've tried, but Amazon had it at £119 for some kind of Easter deal, so I thought it worth a look.


Generally it doesn't seem too bad for the price. It reminds me a little of the original Moto G (although not as good) in that it's nice and smooth, but with a terrible camera. Speaker is a little weak but build quality is surprisingly good.

It should be getting stock Android to replace CM13 in the next month or so and that could make it even more interesting for some.
 
It wasn't, I bought it because of the price. :)

Just finished editing the finished review -


I can see it's now on Amazon at £139, which still isn't bad.
 
As I say in my video, I really don't see an issue with a 720p screen on a 5" device. My monitors are only 1080p over 27" and are fine...

Also, battery life is very good. 2,700 for a 5" 720p screen does just fine. My only concern is the camera really.


I guess to answer your question, the attraction is I paid £119 for a smooth, slick, well made phone that will soon be running stock Android.
