I was looking for something and i got a Wileyfox Swift. Don’t get one of those.
Same here. It’s about 6 months old and horribly slow now. GPS seems to only be connected about 50% of the time that I’m using it for google map navigation. It will manage to do navigation while also streaming music to the car via bluetooth, but only just. The music will stutter and sometimes drop out completely when the phone is working to update/rotate/zoom the map.
Even running the ‘animation’ of fading the screen to black when turning it off (the screen, not the phone) seems to be hard work. I’ll press the button to turn the screen off and nothing will happen for 3 seconds, so I press it again. Then maybe another 5 seconds pass and it’s still not done anything, so I give it a firm press, thinking I might not be pushing it properly. Then finally, a few seconds later, the screen turns off, then back on, then opens the camera because it thinks I’ve double tapped the power button. Then turns the screen off again. So you press the button to turn the screen back on and go through the whole thing again in reverse!
If I press the Home button it lights up the button to show I’ve pressed it, and then just sits there for a few seconds before showing me a blank home screen, then a few seconds later loading the icons.
Also, it drops wifi, and then reconnects a few seconds later, whenever I connect or disconnect to a bluetooth device.
Also, it buzzes whenever it connects/disconnects to a wifi source which is annoying when I walk to the back of the house and it connects to the range extender in the kitchen rather than the router. *bzzz*, then back to the front of the house and *bzzz* again.
Also, the camera’s rubbish. But given how long it takes to get going the thing you were going to take a photo of will have usually gone before you can get the app open.
Also, the screen is too bright and the earpiece is way too loud.
And the battery drains faster than it charges if doing something like bluetoothing iPlayer radio to the car, or just using the screen for navigation.
Other than that, it’s quite cheap.
