With many new OEMs over the last few years entering the marking it is evident they are taking a slice out of established market players,Wileyfox is not a familiar name to many and launched last year with their entry to the market and this is not a bad phone at all and for the price its at now its a bargain.For those who just use their phone for the average internet use or social media and emails this will be fine and also it sports a decent camera,for the price its at now it certainly ads to the competition,for the money you cant go wrong albeit it runs on Cyanogen OS which might be a deal breaker,but the OS is not bad either which what did come with the One Plus One which went on to be a hugely popular device. This also has FREE shipping to Ireland,The device comes in Black or White.
Customisation-With an open OS, you’re in control. You have more freedom and more choices, from the big picture down to the smallest details. Your mobile experience should be as unique as you.
Privacy & Security- Security and privacy taken extremely seriously.

RunGo is the first voice navigation app for runners, unlike other running apps that just track your run and record your stats, RunGo will also guide you on popular running routes with turn-by-turn voice navigation, much like navigation systems used for driving. RunGo is also great for travelling and guides you offline using GPS only, so you don’t have to worry about data roaming.
RunGo has a library of over 20,000 routes around the world and curated featured routes in popular running cities around the world including Dublin, London, Barcelona, San Francisco, New York, Vancouver, Sydney and many more.

Marian explains how the app has been for her.
The app’s got really engaging graphics, characters and game play, so she doesn’t realize how much she really learns while engaged in ‘play’ – The math practice worksheets are rich with a universe of educational content, and the app has new exciting math games being added to it every 2 weeks! – It’s aligned with Common Core standards and learning modules. My girl gets her foundation right before progressing to higher levels, and she’s addicted to getting higher scores..
Zap Zap Math delivers a set of free, higher order thinking games that cover comprehensive math subjects from kindergarten all the way through 6th grade. Games that focus on counting, addition/subtraction, fractions, ratios, geometry and more help build a strong math foundation while training critical thinking, logic, and problem solving in a well structured and independent manner.

But if there’s something we have to accredit Samsung for is all the offers to giveaway when a new device launches, this time around things were a little different, as aside from internals and beautiful screens, Samsung decided to make an emphasis on their new Game Launcherby offering a bunch of “freemium” games to enjoy.
The Game Launcher is a neat feature that pretty much everyone is going to enjoy, no matter if you spend tons of hours playing or just a couple of minutes. For disabling notifications to record yourself while playing for YouTube, is a “must have” for sure.
This Game Pack Samsung is giving away with the new Galaxy range really is a sweet deal, even better they are easy to find.
You’ll need to check the Galaxy App Store and that’s all!
In there you’ll find the whole list of titles available with bonuses to download to your new flagship.
They extras you’ll get may vary from one app to another, example :
Badland (a personal recommendation as the game is beautiful and challenging) will just save you the multi-player mode, usually you need to pay or play lots of hours to have it, but in Gods of Rome the only thing you’ll get is a bag of gems to invest on what you think is best.
The pack contains 16 titles to choose from, all of each with their own extras.
But fear not! You won’t need to install each app or go through the whole app store finding them and reading why they offer.
