10/10 for its price, features and specs <3. (upgraded from Xiaomi MiMax 2)
(waiting for its andriod 10 update) <3

I used to love it, but started hating it from the bottom of my heart after it betrayed.
I was debloating it and after I rebooted, the lock screen started to blink with the lock icon just below the damn notch. There was no way to enter the password or provide fingerprint scan, a borderline soft brick. After researching, came to know that removal of one "com.coloros.weather.service" was somehow the culprit! UNREAL.

Clean and simple without any of the bloat found on other skins. Very nice.
I just wish you can change the blue color scheme even though it works out for my state color#NC

The software is fast as hell, very easy to understand and intelligent.
It's the google phone I've been waiting for and that's largely due to smart software they've brought together that give you all of the features you need.
It's the little things. Had mine for two days now, was on the OPO. And a brief stint with the uberly crappy Nexus 5X before ditching it and going back to the OPO.
Anyways... I just want to talk about the sounds the phone makes and touch latency. For notifications, power button, typing clicks, etc. They are amazing. Nothing special about them to the naked eye, or ear. But I feel like Google put some time and effort into creating them. There is nothing loud about the text and email notifs, but I hear every single one of them. I don't get it. One simple little ding that grabs my attention each and every single time. No other phone has done this for me, nor has a phone that I have been around. They are all pleasant to hear, non obtrusive, and yet they are distinct and cool.
Touch latency. I ask anyone to go and grab an Android phone, Tell google you want to play pacman, and actually be able to play it without dying over and over again because PacMan can't make a quick turn. Then get on your/a Pixel and do the same thing. That is the best way I can try to show you how much of a difference i makes.
I love the skin/software. Only the gesture navigation needs a revamp (which it will in Android Q!) and the multitasking needs better efficiency.

Very nice phone.
Not the fastest, but not slow enough to be annoying.
Great looks and built quality. Below average camera.
No 5Ghz wifi are some serious amounts of points lost.
I like it not been any issues at all with it and i've come from an iPhone 7. It's no different to me for what i use it for and the battery life is about the same.

Thanks for saying that! that's a real killer for me, what else would you suggest around £250?
I love the phone. For me it does the job. I had an iPhone 5s (and several other iPhones) before my Wileyfox Swift 2 plus. I needed a new phone and for the first time i chose Android. I must say: i'm very glad with Android. I love it. And the most important thing: Wileyfox was in my budget (Apple was too pricey and still is...). Also the flagships, like Samsung and Sony, had prices far beyond what's normal for a phone you use for 1 or 2 years. And i really hate bloatware you cannot remove. So my Wileyfox is now 1 year old and i'm looking around for a replacement, but haven't seen a better alternative for the same price, so i'm keeping my Swift 2 plus till a better phone comes out with better specs. For now, i'm still very glad with my Swift 2 plus!!!
Little minors: camera (it does a great job when you absolutely don't move the phone while taking a picture), bluetooth reach is a just couple of meters, i miss 5 Ghz / ac Wifi, loudspeaker is so so.
Great things: price, robust phone, no bloatware, pure Android, Wileyfox is fast with updates, battery enough for 1 day, cpu/memory is fast enough for me, dual sim, fast charging.

LG Nexus 5X
well you know what they say about marmite...
I've had the swift 2x for just about a year now and I can tell you it a big steaming pile!!! The fingerprint scanner only works when it want's to and when it does work it unlocks to an off screen, the screen stays off (black) most of the time when I get calls, the touch screen won't work properly when it's on charge (it's that bad I can't use the phone when its charging) the camera is the worst (someone said bad in low light but I would call it bad in broad daylight!) And to top it all off we have wileyfox's customer service (which is run like they don't have a clue\wanna put themselves outa buidness) I reported all these problems to them so they had me pay a small fortune for recorded delivery to send it back for them to have it less than a day and do nothing else but factory reset it (which I did myself twice to try and fix the problem....it didn't work) when I receive the phone back it had even more faults and the screen protector that wileyfox's charged me £15 for was broken. and then we get to the icing on the cake, I chose the gold option cos they were out of the midnight blue, the phone turns up and it's frakking pink! I ask them about it and they suddenly start calling it champagne gold (nowhere, not on the site or on my receipt does it say champagne gold it just says gold) add all this together equals a very pissed off me stuck with a ~ £250 pink brick. Needless to say I WONT be recommending wileyfox's to ANYONE! (I mean come on, the dam phone doesn't even support otg for frakk sake)

It's my goto surf phone if I want to read something quickly. Nice size. Metal backed though, so freezing to pick up in winter. Like the seconds in the time display...I had a frikkin dodgy 700kb app for that, glad to lose it.
Lovin the speed.
But sexy? in a Williams sister type of way, I suppose.

The most coolest and most awesome android phone <3 in this budget! <3
I like it BUT I wish Nokia would release the bootloader unlock so we can actually get som devs online to help fix any problems or niggles we'd like to change...
If, like ASUS, they don't dothis for a few months, it will kill off all dev support for the phone.
Don't believe me, look at the Asus Zenfone 3 forum... No custom roms there, just the tumbleweeds rolling through the ghost of a forum...
Just bought one!
Missed android bought a tablet and now bought this! Was fed up of my iPhone 7 paying out ££££ so have sold it recouped my settlement and loving it so far!!

I also got fed up with iPhone prices and exchanged it to this in a shop. It's a great phone, big screen, looks good, everything works. Android is pure vanilla as it should be. Great.

Loving my Nokia 6 so far.
I love the fact that it's a pure Android phone. The only thing Nokia in the OS is for the product support.

I have it only one week now and I already love it. I had a Microsoft Lumia which I also really liked, but when I noticed that apps weren't updated anymore, (and the online banking app that I used had even been discontinued), plus the fact that Microsoft has all but abandoned W10 Mobile (no feature updates for all but the last models) , I started looking for a suitable replacement.

Lots of bugs with official rom. Battery is very weak
Great phone, works perfect, great battery life. Just don't seem to be much development, custom ROMs etc. Still on locked bootloader because I have seen good reason to unlock yet.

Love it! One of the best devices i ever owned. I thought curved screen would get in a way, but got used to it really fast and dont mind it now, very beautiful design and comfortable to hold despite huge battery.

Amoled burn in is hardly an issue these days. Screen will last a lot longer than the useful life of this phone! Dont worry about it!
Great Camera and a lot of power in him for cheap money !
Bought it yesterday. So far I am loving it. I enabled android 10 gesture navigation but it is still difficult for me to use it from just one hand. I was planing to unlock boot loader but didn't do that because Custom ROMs are currently not available. How many of you have unlocked bootloader? Have anyone faced any issue while updating via OTA? (Assuming that we first have to flash stock boot image before installing OTA)
I've had mine for a a week now and I love it. I don't plan on rooting it, I never had to do it to the mi s2 I ran for a couple of years. It has a great feel with the curved glass. The display looks good too. This phone hits a sweet spot that is hard to ignore.
I have moved form nexus 6p, after using it for 3 years to this device. Excellent device for real. the only thing i plan to make for now is flash eu miui 12 instead of global when it is available, and i need to wait a few days until i can unlock the bootloader. I'll consider using some custom rooms if they appear, but that'll depend on how much traction and user base phone gets. But overall excellent buy.
I am considering buying this phone for my girlfriend, and I need some info from the people who actually use it.
It ticks all the boxes and on paper it really looks good, but I have read some reviews and forum posts that got me worried.
Namely, there's some people complaining a lot about the proximity sensor and how it acts up during calls. Some people went as far as saying it was a deal-breaker for them and returned the phones.
Have any of you noticed something in that regard?
I could live with my own phone acting weird, but since this one is for my girlfriend, I need to be cautious [emoji12]
