the lenovo.

Im currently looking at the wileyfox storm, 4gb ram and 32gb rom £185

so the xiaomi what will partially work mean on three? What frequency do I need for it to fully work?

Also im not sure how much the wileyfox swift will be any better than my painful moto g 3, im reluctant to get the moto g 4 as the 3 was even worse than the 2

Three use the frequencies as detailed in post #50.

Vodafone Smart Ultra 7. Locked to Vodafone but easily unlocked if you don't like Vodafone. £139 on PAYG direct from Vodafone last time I looked at it.

The Xiaomi will get a signal just fine. It has all the bands you need apart from the 800 band, which, as far as I know, is a problem with LTE only (so phone would work with 3G) and mainly with O2. Three don't even use the 800 band extensively.

Mind you, Chinese phones may require some knowledge to tinker with ROMs etc and update them.

A vote for the Moto G.

800 is the main frequency for both o2 and Vodafone and both EE and Three are rolling out 800 currently as it travels much further and penetrates buildings far better than 1800 or 2100.

It would be foolish to choose a phone now that doesn't cover all the UK frequencies.
