When creating the display, we used IPS and ONCELL Full Lamination technologies. Wide viewing angles up to 178 ° allow you to use your smartphone from any angle without distorting the picture, for example, playing games or viewing multimedia files in a large company.

ONCELL Full lamination technology removes the air gap between the display layers and avoids light refraction. The display is thinner and the picture is impressive in contrast and rich colors.

GORILLA GLASS 3 protection

Special attention we have given the safety and reliability of Wileyfox Swift 2. The display is protected from minor damage and scratches by durable third-generation Gorilla Glass, and the oleophobic coating prevents fingerprints from appearing on the screen.

And this is correct - with this configuration, the smartphone works very quickly, non-removable ones do not get in the way standard programs, and the user has more memory for photos, music and videos on the internal storage with a capacity of 16 GB.

Despite the seeming simplicity, there are enough bells and whistles in the system: the user is free to hide selected applications in the menu, add phone numbers to the blacklist, install themes, associate the screen lock with smart watch (if they left for a coffee with Android Wear - the smartphone will ask you to enter the unlock code, returned - it will unlock without a password), with your face in the front camera or by voice. The buttons (back, home, menu) can be swapped, and individual applications can be prohibited from viewing personal data or going into autorun.

In a word, beginners will be glad that there are no frills in the system (there are simply no programs in sight with which you can spoil something in the operation of a smartphone), and enthusiasts - a free platform for further refinement of a smartphone for themselves.

Cameras

On paper, the potential of the Wileyfox Swift cameras is amazing - the rear 13-megapixel Samsung S5K3M2 sensor with f / 2.0 aperture a priori does not look like consumer goods, and 5 megapixels for the front camera look very solid.

But with close acquaintance, there are so many nuances of shooting that we would not dare to recommend Wileyfox Swift as a smartphone for photo / video.

Most of all, the smartphone pleases with the quality of pictures during the day. Macro photography in Swift, however, works like a blooper, but a picture with good sharpness, albeit not the first time, is capable of a smartphone - do not forget that we are talking about a model with a price tag of only ~ 7 thousand rubles, and just look for comparison, as the HTC One Mini 2 photographs, the model is twice as expensive.

Conclusion

Wileyfox presented three interesting smartphone models. These are powerful devices with attractive designs and extremely affordable prices.

Smartphone with good technical characteristics could be affordable! This is confirmed by Wileyfox Swift. This is not some kind of phone ordered from China, but a device with warranty service in Russia.

By the way, Wileyfox Swift became the first smartphone from Wileyfox, a subsidiary of Fly. Following it comes the Wilefox Storm phablet with 5.5-inch screens, Full-HD resolution.

The Wileyfox Swift smartphone has something to surprise, because at a price of only $ 109 it has a number of interesting characteristics: fresh version operating system Android (Cyanogen 12.1), good screen 5 inches, support for 4G networks, camera 13 megapixel, 2 gigabytes random access memory and 16 gigabytes of memory for data storage. But first things first.

The smartphone is available in two colors: black and white. It is made of high-quality plastic, matte, pleasant to the touch. The front side is protected by scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3.

The screen is a decent average. It has a 5-inch diagonal and HD resolution (1280x720). The sensor recognizes up to 10 touches. And yet, in this inexpensive phone, the screen has an oleophobic coating, thanks to which, almost no fingerprints collect on it. There is no air gap. As you can see, they didn't save money on the screen.

Fast Internet is possible thanks to the support of 4G networks. If only there was a cover.

You can also install two SIM cards in the Wileyfox Swift phone. In general, in the spirit of Fly.

The main 13MP camera (Samsung S5K3M2 BSI) allows you to take decent quality pictures. On the front side is located wide angle camera 5 megapixels.

The smart phone is that it runs on the popular Cyanogen firmware version 12.1 (based on Android 5.1).

Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with 4 cores 1.2 GHz is not the most productive, but very a good choice for a mid-range smartphone. In conjunction with 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM, it will provide decent performance, which is enough not only for a fast operating system, but also for running demanding games.

The removable battery has a capacity of 2,500 mAh. The following operating time is stated on one full charge:

Up to 10 hours of talk time in GSM network
Up to 8 hours of talk time on 3G network
Up to 200 hours standby time (8 days).

Some time ago, products under the Wileyfox trademark were in fairly decent demand in Russia. A similar situation was observed in some other countries. Gradually, however, the Fly sub-brand began to experience problems. This is due to two reasons:

The parent company decided to reduce the cost of supporting Wileyfox;
Main feature "Fox" smartphones were the operating system Cyanogen OS (modernized Android), but some time ago, support for this project was almost completely discontinued.

Fortunately, the Russian division of Wileyfox continues to live, independently earning money to design and manufacture devices. Now all that remains is to understand whether to switch to "bare" Android or start installing some other modifications of this OS. However, this concerns the future of the company. Here we will also consider the best devices from those already available to consumers.

Best Smartphone

Wileyfox Swift 2 X

Operating system: Cyanogen 13.1 (Android 6.0)
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, 8 cores, 1400 MHz
Screen: 5.2 inches, IPS, 1920 x 1080 pixels
Battery: 3100 mAh
RAM: 3 GB
Built-in storage: 32 GB

Price: from 8 990 rub.

The most advanced machine created by Wileyfox. The manufacturer has introduced decent components into the smartphone, which should suit the vast majority of buyers. In particular, the 16-megapixel rear camera should please, which can take great pictures and shoot video with Full HD resolution (30 frames / s). Nothing bad can be said about the 8-megapixel front camera.

The front panel of the device houses a 5.2-inch IPS display. The LCD panel has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, which indicates a high pixel density. Viewing angles are maximum, color rendition is absolutely not distorted at any deviation of the device.

The main feature of Wileyfox Swift 2 X is the presence of an NFC chip. This means that the smartphone can be used instead of bank card... There are also modules of Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.1 and LTE-A of the fourth category. Like the rest of Wileyfox products, this model has two SIM card slots. It should be noted and powerful processor from Qualcomm, capable of running any modern games. To connect charger a modern connector is used. In a word, if it were not for the OS used, the device would have ended up in our list of smartphones that will not become obsolete for a long time. No wonder the reviews on this model are written mostly in a positive way.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Not the most recent version of the operating system;
Wi-Fi 802.11ac support would be nice.

Best mid-range smartphone

Wileyfox swift 2

Operating system: Cyanogen 13.1 (Android 6.0)
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, 8 cores, 1400 MHz
Screen:
Battery: 2700 mAh
RAM: 2 GB
Built-in storage: 16 GB

Price: from 6 990 rub.

This device differs from its more advanced counterpart by its reduced cost. The manufacturer managed to achieve a more modest price tag due to the use of not the most advanced components. The camera is installed here the most common, having a 13-megapixel resolution. The amount of memory can be called the minimum by modern standards. Fortunately, the processor is the same, so the gadget has not lost the ability to run all modern games. Also, the manufacturer did not save on the connector, leaving USB Type-C.

Most of all, the device will delight the buyer with the presence of an NFC chip. At the time of this writing, this is one of the cheapest smartphones that can play the role of a bank card! But the battery capacity has slightly decreased. But this was to be expected, because the physical dimensions of the device also decreased. The front panel now houses a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

The smartphone has a very good navigation chip capable of recognizing signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites. This allows the device to be used as a navigator, which is what some Russian taxi drivers do. The device also pleases with an 8-megapixel front camera and a fingerprint sensor.

Advantages:

There is NFC support;
Not a particularly high price tag;
Compact size and light weight (155 g);
Not a bad rear camera and a very good front camera;
Decent eight-core processor;
There is a fingerprint scanner;
LTE networks are supported.

Disadvantages:

Not much memory is built in;
Not the most recent version of the operating system.

Best Ultra Budget Smartphone

Wileyfox spark

Operating system: Cyanogen 13.0 (Android 6.0)
CPU:
Screen: 5 inches, IPS, 1280 x 720 pixels
Battery: 2200 mAh
RAM: 1 GB
Built-in storage: 8 GB

Price: from RUB 4,990

One of the lightest devices in the Wileyfox line. The weight of this smartphone does not exceed 135 g. Also, the device is very cheap, so you shouldn't expect any gorgeous characteristics. The front panel of the gadget houses a traditional 5-inch IPS panel with HD resolution. Some color distortions when the device is deflected are noticeable, but the effect cannot be called strong and annoying. Above the screen is an 8-megapixel front camera - the creators did not save on this. The rear camera has the same resolution.

Like its older brothers, Wileyfox Spark has LTE support. But the NFC chip was not installed here. But most of all, the device disappoints with the minimum amount of memory, which will have to transfer many applications to a microSD card. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to consider the option of purchasing this model, especially if the budget is seriously limited, and you cannot hesitate with the purchase.

Advantages:

Support for 4G networks;
Compact size and light weight (135 g);
Low cost;
Not a bad screen for the price;
Good front camera
There is a light indicator;
The light and proximity sensors are not forgotten.

Disadvantages:

Not the best navigation chip;
Battery capacity is poor;
Weak processor;
Built-in extremely small amount of memory;
Not the most recent version of Android.

Best budget smartphone

Wileyfox Spark +

Operating system: Cyanogen 13.0 (Android 6.0)
CPU: MediaTek MT6735, 4 cores, 1300 MHz
Screen: 5 inches, IPS, 1280 x 720 pixels
Battery: 2200 mAh
RAM: 2 GB
Built-in storage: 16 GB

Price: from 5 990 rub.

Wileyfox couldn't limit itself to the regular version of Spark. Not all people were delighted with the purchase, so soon it was decided to release Spark +. The creators did not change the design of the device, and many characteristics were left the same. In particular, it also uses a 5-inch 720p IPS panel. The processor has not undergone any changes either, for which it is quite difficult to launch some particularly heavy application.

What are the improvements? First of all, it should be noted that the volume of RAM and permanent memory has doubled. It is very important! Someone will also appreciate the 13-megapixel rear camera, which performs much better than a similar component built into the ultra-budget sibling.

Perhaps these are all the changes that can be mentioned. The device did not receive an NFC chip and a fingerprint scanner. The version of the operating system also remains the same, although this is not Wileyfox's special fault.

Advantages:

Low cost;
Optimal memory size for this price;
The rear camera has a high resolution;
Decent quality front camera
There are proximity and light sensors;
Small size and weight (134 g);
The device works in 4G networks.

Disadvantages:

I would like a more recent android version;
The processor is not powerful;
Battery capacity is not high.

Conclusion

At the time of this writing, the Wileyfox smartphones discussed above were the most relevant. All these phones should suit any person who does not expect unusual skills from such a device and the launch of three-dimensional games with the maximum level of graphics.
