It was revealed at the unveiling all three devices will not feature NFC, despite the recent launch of Android Pay and its rising popularity. Co-founder Nick Muir states aggressive pricing to be the reason for the lack of NFC. Muir admits Android Pay as accelerated quickly in the UK and Wileyfox will adopt the technology one day, but not with the Spark range.
The Spark range does however are 4G ready devices with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, overlaid with Cyanogen 13.0, straight out of the box.
