A surprisingly proficient £129 smartphone. Wileyfox, a new UK-based smartphone manufacturer, has revealed its two debut products: the £129 Wileyfox Swift and £199 Wileyfox Storm. Despite the budget prices, these handsets will launch this autumn with some pretty respectable mid-range specs, including Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, 5in-plus displays and dual-SIM support.

Nonetheless, Wileyfox is banking on Cyanogen OS 12.1, an extensively customised skin for the base Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, to make these smartphones stand out. We got our hands on the Wileyfox Swift to see whether this strategy is likely to pay off.
