In September 2015, two devices were offered by Wileyfox. Both devices initially used the Cyanogen OS operating system, which offers more adaptability and security compared to the standard Android .
In June 2016, Wileyfox presented a new range of smartphones, including the Spark, Spark + and SparkX. The manufacturer initially relied on Cyanogen OS for these models as well. On November 2, 2016, the portfolio was expanded to include two new Swift series smartphones.
Another smartphone from the Swift2 series appeared in January 2017.
Instead of Cyanogen OS, Wileyfox now always delivers the latest Android versions for all devices promptly after availability, even for the oldest models. Wileyfox also provides ongoing security updates. As of September 2017, Android 7.1.2 will be shipped.
The Swift and Storm models are also supported by LineageOS - since September 2018 in version 15.1 (Android 8.1).
