Did anyone make some experience with Wileyfox Smartphones?
I'm considering to get the Spark+ for my girlfriends birthday :P
It's a budget phone, but has some sort of unique touch to it 
150€ is also not too pricey and the specs are quite nice for this:
Only thing which bothers me is that it runs on Cyanogen OS which has been discontinued as of December 2016 and would be stuck with Android 6.x although their support told me that they will switch it to Android 7.x Nougat soon and the phones still running with Cyanogen OS will receive instructions on how to switch to pure Android.
Any feedback on the Wileyfox brand, or the Spark+ in particular?

Some negative reviews however. Personally if you want something a bit more premium but not too much more price checkout this guy.

I've picked one up and seriously £200 for this device is amazing
Will check it out thanks
Few things to note.
5000 Mah battery
Power efficient CPU (I have no idea why with a 5000Mah battery)
Quick charging (Over micro USB)
Android 7 currently being rolled out (Three UK where are you at)
2-3 days battery life with WiFi, GPS & NFC always on with 4G.
You might want to get something for her, too.

Willeyfox's warranty handling is a bit meh. Can take months (Atleast in NL) to get your phone repaired even if it's a production issue/hardware fault. Get the Lenovo P2, it's a decent phone and it's low priced as well.
Get a Xiaomi. Don't know which country you from but will probably be cheaper and better.
I keep trying Chinese phones and there's always some deficiency. OnePlus can't decide if they're going to support their phones on an ongoing basis, Xiaomi wants to do goofy stuff with the interface, Lenovo's phones do not have the same durability as their laptops, etc.
I recently switched to a Pixel XL and other than being an enormous slab, I quite like it.
India.
I have a Storm, it works but I hate using phones in general. Only issue I've had is something getting stuck in the tiny mic hole at the base of the phone, couldn't figure out why people were unable to hear me until I cleaned that out.
I am going to drop three another email on Android 7.
What do you mean by saying that? Anyway this is not my only gift to her^^
Im from Germany @GenjiSwitchPls
I have a Wileyfox Swift and it works fine for my needs.
Any issues with YouTube videos randomly zooming in on a corner? Saw this in a review ,
:O
This is the older model and I have not experienced that.
