Wileyfox Swift Cyanogen based phone

Been trying to find a phone which suits the wife's needs and came across this.

https://www.wileyfox.com/swift/

The reviews are good and it seems to offer all she wants apart from a fingerprint scanner but does anyone here have any thoughts or experience to share?

TIA

Useful comparison of this with similar phones: https://recombu.com/mobile/article/b...t-value-phones

Some bad points:

Quote:
The Wileyfox Swift doesn’t quite live up to its name when it comes to performance sadly, with the Snapdragon 410 processor struggling on occasion when loading apps. It’s not quite a chugger, but it’s noticeably the slowest handset here.

As for battery life, the Swift is again the lame duck in this race, just about scraping through a full day if you don’t lean on it too hard. The Moto G can last just over 24 hours while the Smart Ultra 6 comfortably covers a day and change, even with regular play.
Maybe look at the OnePlus X as well? Although, the 16G (forget the 8G) Moto G 3rd Gen seems the best all round bet ..

UK-based Wileyfox enters administration to restructure its debt

United Kingdom-based phone manufacturer Wileyfox entered the Android smartphone scene in 2015, when it released the Storm and Switft phones. The low-end Spark was released later, in mid-2016. They were budget phones running the short-lived Cyanogen OS, and when Cyanogen collapsed, the company started developing its own ROM.
Shame as it had potential, the niggly things that annoyed owners had put me off buying one.
