Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus with Add X Making a budget handset even cheaper
Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus with Add-X Making a budget handset even cheaper.
Usually, if you want to get a better phone at a cheaper price, you have to buy a subsidised handset from a mobile carrier and put up with a fairly long contract to cover the discount. When you get to the end of the contract, the offer of a free or cheap upgrade will often keep you locked to that carrier for another year.
Now Wileyfox is offering between £50 and £70 off the price of four of its phones (wherever you buy them) in exchange for putting ads and offers on the lockscreen -- which many people look at 60 or more times a day. That's about 40 percent off the usual price: the £120 Spark+ costs just £70, the £140 Spark X is £80, the £160 Swift 2 is £100, and the Swift 2 Plus goes from £190 to £120. New Wileyfox handsets will have similar discounts.
The Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus comes in several colours including rose gold, and has USB-C fast charging.
The fingerprint sensor is close to the camera; use that and you can unlock and get past the Add-X ads quickly.
