You might be thinking about the WileyFox Swift, or the BLU Life Mark 4G, as both phones feature a 5inch screen, and good specifications for the price (both on offer for around £99 on Amazon UK). Lets have a look at how they compare:
We recently had a look at the WileyFox Swift, and have been impressed by the smartphone, considering the price and features available, and the BLU Life Mark 4G could be a competitor.

BLU Life Mark 4G 13mp f/2.0 aperture main camera LED-flash (single) 5mp selfie camera FullHD video 5inch screen, 1280×720 1.3GHz Quadcore (MediaTek 6735) 2GB / 16GB built in MicroSD slot Dual SIM slot 2300mAh battery (Removable) 142.4mm x 72mm x 9.5mm 150g Grey, White or Gold Fingerprint sensor Bundled with case, screen protector, USB, battery, charger, ear buds. |
Looking at the specifications of both phones, they are quite closely matched in a number of ways, and the BLU Life Mark also offers a Fingerprint sensor for additional security, however the battery life is likely to be quite poor due to the lower battery rating. The Blue Life Mark is also larger and heavier, and it’s not clear what kind of protection is built in to the screen, with the WileyFox Swift offering Gorilla Glass 3.
