About this deal

On looks alone, this is a phone that you’d expect to be running with Apple and Samsung. It’s not as easy on the eye as either the iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge– far from it – but next to flagship devices such as the LG G5 or Sony Xperia XZ it comfortably holds its own. The difference is that it costs just a third of the price.

The Swift 2's 5-inch IPS screen has a 720p resolution and a pixel density of 294 pixels per inch, which is quite low when compared to leading Android phones – and many other low and mid-range challengers, like the Moto G5. It's reasonably bright and colours look convincing and natural rather than oversaturated; there's a warmth to the panel which is quite welcoming. This is a fully laminated screen too, avoiding the recessed look you’ll see in some budget phones. We’ve already mentioned the impact the Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus makes as soon as you open the box. Thankfully, that premium feeling continues when you pull it out.Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake in the “production readiness stage” while fans will have to wait longer for Control 2

The firm also produced spare batteries, clip-on covers, and screen protectors specific to their phones. Wileyfox ships the phone with a plastic screen protector. We managed to scratch it up pretty nicely in the first few weeks of use, but you can always replace it or rely on Gorilla Glass’s scratch resistance when that happens. However, as any iPhone 7 owner will tell you, not having a 1080p screen isn't the end of the world. Sure, it's possible to discern individual pixels on the Swift 2's screen, but this is hardly a disaster, and the quality of the display in this case helps soften the blow. Rather than being based on a single hook or defined by a sole, standout feature or even its affordable price tag, the Swift 2 X merges together a collection of impressive components to create a phone that feels well-rounded and perfectly balanced.

Solid specs, strong camera and superb price

It's no longer acceptable in 2016 to produce an ugly smartphone, no matter the cost. As with many other features that were once exclusive to the premium tier of smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6 Plus, good design is now expected to be found across the board. The Wileyfox Swift 2 doesn’t set any new standards for already hyper-aggressive budget phones, but it’s a decent choice if you’re desperate for a handset that’s made of metal instead of plastic. Where you'd expect to find a physical home button there's the rather fetching Wileyfox logo, while the earpiece is housed in a circular metal grille at the top. Alongside this you'll find the front-facing camera and ambient light sensor.

Wileyfox is a British smartphone manufacturer founded in 2015. It went into administration on 6 February 2018. [1] On 19 March 2018 it was announced that Santok Group had agreed a licensing deal covering sales of handsets in Europe and South Africa. [2]

Both versions of the phone also feature a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the device. Similar to the one on the Huawei Mate 9 and other Huawei/Honor phones, it doesn’t need to be depressed; simply place your finger on there and it will do the rest. Woods, B (25 August 2015).
