Wileyfox was a British smartphone manufacturer founded in 2015. It went into administration on 6 February 2018. On 19 March 2018 it was announced that Santok Group had agreed a licensing deal covering sales of handsets in Europe and South Africa.
The firm aimed to provide products that were more affordable than their competitors, whilst not compromising on quality. The company claimed that by having a smaller workforce and no legacy devices to support, they would be able to sell their devices for lower prices. Wileyfox stated that the commoditisation of hardware would enable them to differentiate their products from competitors using other Android distros, or iOS.
