But there's a lot of other options (Moto G4, etc) for not so much more, I like the removable battery and the way the back looks. I've heard some negative about the GPS, but since it has a S410, is it the antenna or software?
The camera seems to lack some in taking pictures outside in daylight too, from what I have read.

The camera is really great, best i ever had and it's the cheapest device i ever bought.

Gps is good enough, surely tops all mediatek devices and is as good as a 250 bucks sony m4 dual for example. Accuracy after fix is very good, fix is super fast with network, in airplane mode without any supplementary data the first fix is slow (around two minutes).

So if you're outside your country and want fast fix with no network the first day you need to be patient. But that is a problem most devices have and it is only of you have no data, no wifi to get the agps data downloaded.

So i would recommend the device.

Alles klar Herr Komischer kommissar! That was more praise than I have read about the device. Hmm, not bad.

And the compass and gyro are working great, too.

So essentially, this mobile is better than the Moto G4 Play, even though it costs less?

G4 play camera is bad but its battery is larger. Same cpu. Same sensors. Take the wileyfox if you dont need a big battery. But the difference is not so big.

I think if I had to buy now, I might take the G4 Play for the bigger battery, but I'm still quite happy with the Swift.

It's a tie, I think.
The Swift has a gyroscope that is missing of the G4 Play. The latter one has bigger battery.
I'm perfectly happy with the Swift (especially if you can grab it on 99£ promotion) but neither will be a bad decision

I would not buy it again. Mainly because of the battery. It does not last a full day and the fact that even though it is removable, this does not help. I have not found the possibility to buy neither a battery nor an external charger.

Batteries are available, but not really cheap. And my device lasts 2 days with cm 13 nightly and beroid kernel installed. Wifi always on but i dont play games... You can tune it even more if you set it do disable cores to last 4 days
