Wileyfox Swift or Moto G

Options
Hi

I need a replacement phone and am thinking about either the Moto G or Wileyfox Swift. I'm really tempted by or the Wileyfox because it has the larger internal memory, but have heard that the Wileyfox won't get a marshallow upgrade anytime soon because of the Cyanogen OS, also I've read that the USB port is set too far back and alot of USB cables don't fit into it? Has anyone had any experience of using the phone.

Other phones I'm considering at the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 and the Sony Xperia M4. Which of these 4 phones would you recommend?

Thanks for your help

    IMHO, the fewer upgrades, the better. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    unfortunately all the OS seem to be in mass public beta, thanks google for bucking a trend in nothing useful!

    I am happy with my CM 7.2 (Android 2.3) that outlived my phone without ever being upgraded.

    Agree with others, new isn't always an 'upgrade' its just 'different' - some versions of Android have been worse than the previous in particular ways and Google have had to fix it (or make it worse too).

    I would happily set all my devices back to Jelly Bean if I could!

    Microsoft have the same problem with Windows 10, for most people its not an 'upgrade' as basically Outlook and Office look and run the same as on Win 7 so why bother?
