Wileyfox, a small British company you’ve probably never heard of, recently introduced the Spark, a smartphone range that challenges the notion that powerful phones need to be expensive.
Or the other way around, the notion that cheap phones don’t have that much to offer.
There are 3 phones in the Spark range: Spark, Spark+ and Spark X. Here’s a closer look at each model in the range.
The Spark, the baby in the range, is priced at just £89.99. Here’s what you get for this small amount of money.
Spark – Main specs
The Spark+, which is priced at £114.99, has more RAM, more storage space, and a sharper rear camera.

"Smartphones are now as important to us as air," said Wileyfox CEO Nick Muir. "They are an indispensable part of our lives, not a luxury like they used to be. That’s why we believe that they need to work for us and who we are. But everyone’s different. We’re obsessive about what you need from your phone, so we have ripped up the rule book and set new standards with the Spark. We believe [it’s] unrivalled in design and performance with additional features that you can't get anywhere else at extraordinary value for money. It’s [a] choice our customers have never had before."
All the Spark phones are dual SIM. Learn more about them on the official Wileyfox website here.
