Design and Display
Wileyfox Storm may not be the classiest smartphone you have set your eyes on, but it does exhibit solid construction. Coming in at a thickness of 9.2 millimetres, the 155g phone has a nice soft-touch rear which has its maker’s logo embossed.
It crams in a massive 5.5-inch diagonal display with an amazing resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels which means a high pixel density of about 400 pixels per inch. Since this is an IPS panel, you should expect great wide viewing angles.
Camera and Storage
In the camera department, Wileyfox Storm is well decked out with a robust pair of 20-megapixel and 8-megapixel cameras. You will be right to expect spectacular shots with that powerful combo. The primary snapper features dual-LED flash for eye-catching images in all conditions.
The selfie shooter also offers flash. You get ample 32 GB of internal storage memory for keeping your photos. The onboard storage is expandable by another 128 GB.
Performance and OS
Users appear to be in for some convincing performance on the Wileyfox Storm, with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor blazing away under the hood. The powerful CPU delivers speeds of up to 1.5 GHz and gets backing from a sufficient 3 GB of RAM.
The smartphone boots Cyanogen 12.1, a customised version of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system, which offers users great level of personalisation and greater control over the device.
Other Features
The microSD card tray on the Storm doubles as a slot for a second SIM card, so this is a dual-SIM phone. It is equipped with a 2500mAh Li-Polymer battery – a bit poor for a device with a screen of this quality.
If you have access to a 4G LTE network, you will be able to enjoy unsurpassed mobile data speeds on this smartphone as well.
Pricing and Availability
Wileyfox Storm is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Wileyfox Storm Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N60,000 to N75,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
