- Analysis by Christelle Nina
The Wileyfox Swift 2 is one of those phones that clearly aim to provide a high-end feel in spite of being relatively-affordable. The all-metal finish and 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 3 display helps accomplish this. However, it hasn't completely aced the physical arena. When you look closely at its dimensions, it's noticeably on the thicker (8.6mm) and heavier (158 grams) side relative to similar models.
If there was one aspect that Wileyfox has gotten closest to making an impression with, however, it would be the imaging department. For some context, its 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel selfie shooter are both higher in terms of raw resolution compared to the iPhone 7.
In consideration of its intended price market, the Swift 2's display pros and cons may be regarded as merely-fitting. However, we can't help but notice the lack of pixel density (around 296 DPI) arising from its 5-inch 720p display.
Having an octa-core processor and 2GB of RAM to spare adds up to its good points. On the other hand, there's nothing special about the 1.4GHz clock speed that it boasts. The same holds true about the 16GB of internal memory that it lists, even more so since it leaves less than 10GB available to the user .

These pros and cons are testament to how the Swift 2 remains to be a comfortably-lower-midrange device, but with a pretty promising set of cameras and an attractive exterior. Needless to say, we envision it to be a great option for those who want a small taste of the glitz brought in by flagships, but without the shocking price tag that they usually entail.
