40% Wileyfox Spark Plus review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
With a decent screen, solid design and reasonable performance, the Wileyfox Spark Plus doesn't make a bad first impression. But buggy software, poor speakers, weak cameras and bad battery life means this is a handset to avoid.

With poor performance and a price that pitches it even closer to the budget phone big hitters, the Wileyfox Spark X will struggle to dig out a niche for itself.

60% Wileyfox Spark X review – British company’s new phone lacks the X factor

It’s good to see a British company in the smartphone market, but Wileyfox needs a bit more cunning to beat the pack.

84% Wileyfox Spark X – Review
Source: Cool Smartphone Archive.org version
This has a quality design and, after reading through the endless Amazon comments from customers, people who are buying this phone seem extremely happy with it. For the money you’re getting a well-equipped phone offering good performance, decent battery life and a clear, large display. Yes, the camera does let it down a little and the external speaker could be a touch louder – I played music through it but needed a Bluetooth speaker really. That’s the only real negatives I can pinpoint.

80% Wileyfox Spark X review: A new Moto G4 rival
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
For all its merits, though, there's still one smartphone that does it all better than the Spark X, and that's the Moto G4. It is, admittedly, £50 more expensive SIM-free, but I'd say it's worth the extra cost. Not only are you getting a sharper, higher-quality display, but also a superior camera and longer-lasting battery. The Spark X is still a good choice if you don't want to spend much more than £100 on a smartphone (although this might change once I get the new Moto E3 in for review, which has a 5in screen, a splashproof design and costs just £99). However, if you're looking for the very best budget smartphone that money can buy, the Moto G4 still reigns supreme.

80% WileyFox Add-X
Source: Gadgetspeak Archive.org version
Not exactly a new phone but a chance to purchase this ‘mid-range’ phone at a lower price by simply accepting a static ad as your lock screen, so you get a new phone of a design only launched a few months ago at a price of around 60% of what you would pay without the ad lock screen.

5.00:

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

65.35%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
