Microsoft pulled the plug on the Windows Phone operating system last year and it came as a shock to a lot of people. After the announcement, British manufacturer, Wileyfox, still went ahead to release a Windows phone – the Wileyfox Pro. The phone which is informally referred to as the last Windows phone went on sale for a few months before it stopped selling. Now it is back on sale again and for less too.

The Wileyfox Pro originally launched for £189.99 which was quite high for the specs it packed. However, you can purchase it for £89.99 now on Amazon UK. For that amount, you are getting a 5-inch HD screen with Gorilla Glass 3, a Snapdragon 210 processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. The Wileyfox Pro also has an 8MP rear camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, and a 2,100mAh removable battery.

There are scores of Android phones that have better specs that you can buy for the price of the Wileyfox Pro but remember, you are not buying it for the specs but for the OS.

We don’t know how many units Amazon has in stock, so we advise you hurry and grab one for that phone museum you are planning. I sure can’t be the only one thinking of a personal phone museum.

The post Last Windows Phone, the Wileyfox Pro, is on sale again appeared first on Gizmochina.

Windows phone may be considered dead, overshadowed by Android and iOS but one company is still giving one last shot at the once vibrant Mobile operating system that heralded the era of the Nokia Lumia series, later Microsoft Lumia. That company is British phone maker WileyFox. The company recently unveiled the WileyFox Pro business smartphone which runs Windows 10 OS out of the box.

The U.K based company seems to target the business community with the Windows-powered smartphone and have even promised software support for the OS until mid-2020. That could be a key selling point for the company as most businesses would appreciate the idea of software support for such an extended period, something many Android phones don’t offer.

Specs wise. the WileyFoxPro features a 5-inch HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It is powered by an unnamed Quad-core processor which is touted as being enough for business multi-tasking and efficient working. The device is basically a budget smartphone as it packs just 16GB of storage but there is no indication if it is expandable. On the camera end, you get a most 8MP camera at the rear while selfies are taken care of by a disappointing 2MP front camera.  

As for the price, the WileyFox Pro has a price tag of £189.99 (~$257). For such specs lineup, the device can be said to be an overpriced budget model. However, the design seems to be nice and for some, Windows phone still offers an amazing UI and lots of functions that aid businesses. So, if you’re interested, the model is presently on pre-orders at Amazon UK. The device will start shipping on December 4.
