Wileyfox returns with three more affordable smartphones

"Fledgling British smartphone brand Wileyfox debuted its first devices last autumn, and one of them ended up being seriously good value for money. Not to lose momentum following these initial launches, the company is back today with no less than three new handsets. At the most affordable end of the scale is the £90/€120 Spark, with the £115/€150 Spark+ and £130/€170 Spark X making up the rest of this new family of devices.

The Spark, despite being quite light, is well built and sturdy, making a good first impression. On the spec front, however, it's hard not to interpret Wileyfox's switch from Qualcomm to MediaTek processors as a step back, at least in terms of brand clout. Wileyfox is confident about performance, though, but with only 1GB of RAM and less than 4 gigs of user-accessible storage, the Spark may be compromising too much in its push for affordability. Especially when the Spark +, for £25 extra, gets you double the RAM, storage and a higher-spec rear camera."​

This looks quite good for someone who's looking for a lower end version of the OnePlus 3.
