But Wileyfox - a weapon of mass destruction, which is available even to those customers who do not understand the intricacies of electronics purchases in foreign stores.

before us Wileyfox Storm in bright orange package. The package includes a very smart, instruction and USB-cable. And yet. Charger, headphones and carrying case can be purchased separately.

The first impression after a smartphone in the hands of: great! Details suggest, where does this feeling. Matte back panel resembles velvet paper, the smartphone itself is light and comfortable in the hand. We got a black copy of brevity laminated front panel only violate the speaker, camera and flash.

Even the side buttons are on and the volume changes do not break the harmony. All ornaments handed down on its back, which is logo-fox and orange elements: the brand name and fringing camera.

Despite the absence of metal in the body (spraying on the faces does not count - it's not metal and imitation), model looks solid. Wileyfox Storm does not spoil even the inevitable stains and traces of touch, because clean model is as simple as a stain. Rear panel quickly returns to normal, and the screen Gorilla Glass 3 oleophobic coated with a layer which protects against excessive dirt.

On the body is not revealed gaps and other problems that could turn Wileyfox Storm of cheap flagship in a cheap phone. A drop of tar: change the volume buttons are high. Every time when I had to use the second hand to insure the smartphone so that it does not slip.

Under the body hides an eight-processor 1.5 GHz-based Qualcomm® Snapdragon ™ 615 v2. RAM 3 GB smartphone. This combination, in the process of testing Wileyfox Storm did not slow down, and easily switch between running applications. I managed to catch a bug, when after the test became sluggish smartphone wake up and refused to respond to the switch. The issue was resolved a simple reboot. But tests show that the performance could be even higher.

Built-in Memory 32 GB, there is a slot for memory cards, but it is combined with a slot for nano-SIM. That is, you have to choose what you need: another number or more gigabytes of memory.

The battery capacity of 2500 mAh - modest solution with a modest result. When the load is slightly above average, with watching videos, hanging in social networks and photo shooting, the battery will not be enough for a day.

Screen size is 5.5 inches, resolution - 1080 × 1920 pixels. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow to see how the screen behaves on a sunny day. But under artificial lighting of varying intensity and gloomy winter day automatic adjustment allows to look at the screen without problems, including different angles. Images and text look great.

Briefly about the sound: very good. Of course, the sound from the speaker is not like the sound of the audio system, but ringtones for calls is fine. Not necessarily to put the sound at full volume to always hear the melody of the incoming call - in transport or miss a call in a noisy street. When viewing a video, speakers also showed their best side. Actually, for the sake of music better listen to the tracks in the headphones and use the built-in equalizer.

Formally indicators both remarkable smartphone cameras. The main camera is made on the sensor Exmor RS from Sony and has a resolution of 20.7 megapixels, a front - 8 megapixels. The idea is to remove them can be Full HD-video, including slow motion and even at night, as well as to engage in macro and take panoramic photos. It turns out something like this:

Of software in the smart phone has only basic services and Google Cyanogen OS firmware based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. This means that the smartphone's settings, you can turn like a fox tail. For example, to protect the data or block unwanted calls. For "androidovodov", which have long been familiar with Cyanogen, a true gift. And users who customization - a complex and incomprehensible word, you can have fun, setting the theme and changing the location of the soft-keys.

Useful pieces: from the lock screen, you can access directly to the calls, or cell, and click on the icon with the fox opens an alphabetical index of all applications.
