  No, but from experience (..of a Lumina ) check what kind of duall-sim phone it is.

  There a 3 kinds offering hot standby to full, two phone line functionality. The latter effectively runs both sims simultaneously and halves your battery life. On a smartphone, it can be a killer..

  I also found that they are disportintaley expensive to buy (and often not available from the Networks and there is no Network subsidy). So you have to buy phone at full retail price.

  I would stick with what you know.
  You can claim most (if not all if it's just a work phone) back as tax deductible.

  I think it would be more of a downgrade...

  Not sure about the Wileyfox but last year I picked up a Mann zug 3, dual sim , android based smart phone, great phone, not clean cut like yours but I was after something that is indestructible, I reckon I could use this phone in building foundations and it would still work if I dug it up a year later haha, it is a beast of a phone, I say try something new, it may surprise you.

    Looking online this sounds like a cool phone except for the camera part. And not such a crazy price either.

  Been looking at the Wileyfox and the Ulefone Paris, with interest, price being a key factor.  For photos i prefer a camera.The dual sim can be used for work / personal but  I was considering more for lack of coverage, we can get Three here but in our village 1 1/2 miles away there's no signal, so 2 networks more chance of connections.

  I'm amazed that anyone in our trade uses a smartphone for work?  WOuldn't last a day in my pocket before being broken.  I've got a small old style phone, much stronger and durable.

    I use an iphone 6s as does our manager. Invaluable as it can be used for much more than making telephone calls.

    Stick it in a case!

  If you can live with one sim then this is highly rated & cheap

  As for durability fit a Slim Armour Case & a Nilkin Glass screen protector.  Both widely available online.  A simple bluetooth like the Sony SBH 50 will mean that the phone stays safe in a pocket most of the time.

  I actually choose work clothes with a phone size chest pocket.
