I'm expecting the wrath of the uber geeks, still...semi decent specs, dual dim. Granted the ' Bush' branding, which is for the UK market only, may see it colder than a Theresa May tour of the peripheral townships.
Keep in touch with everything you love with the Bush Spira D3 Smartphone. Capture life's memories with the rear 16MP and front 8MP cameras, and then share them to your hearts content. There's 16GB of storage, plenty of room for apps, music, photos and videos - letting stay connected to friends and family - wherever you are.
With android 6.0 marshmallow, 2GB of ram and a mediatek octa-core processor, it's sure to keep up with you.
2 fantastic cameras - a superb 16MP auto foucs rear camera with flash for outstanding photo quality and an 8mp front camera for superior selfiles and video calling.
Two sim slots allows you to manage two networks simultaneously, combine both work and personal use on the same handset or use one sim in the uk and the other on a local network from your favourite foreign location for local rate services.
Includes a clear protective cover and a screen protector and hands free headphones.

I wouldn't wipe my a** with that phone.
Toilet paper is better

How clever of you.......I wouldn't attempt to make a call using a roll of Andrex either!

Well it's not going to win any design awards, but for £100, a 2-yr warranty, a case, a screen protector, and all around fairly decent spec, is not that bad.

the Alcatel idol 4 is this price and is really good, similar specs but a Qualcomm CPU.
can definitely recommend. amazing value for money.

Got 3gb ram in the idol as well. Picked one up a few weeks back when sainsburys were shutting down and it's an awesome phone which is also getting the android 7 update in the coming weeks. Plus the extras thrown in, vr headset, screen protector, 2 cases one of which is the brilliant matrix case and a set of jbl headphones.

Specs look very good at this price, is it 2 sims + micro sd, or does it have one of those annoying hybrid ones?

Xiaomi Note 4x or even the regular 4x are way better phones

Most Xiaomi phones miss B20 4G band and international warranty.
And how do you get JL to pricematch Phoneshop by Sainsbury's that has now closed down?

This actually is a (Bush branded) Archos phone... and fairly well built with it.
It's a decent spec for the price but the camera isn't amazing.

I didn't say it was still available. My point in posting was lowercase stated they hadn't seen it at that price, so I was just providing evidence. What was your point?

good specs but let down by the poor battery.

Every time I've taken a phone back to Argos I've had a massive fight on my hands. Not gonna tell anyone what I done but Argos did poo their pants and I did have a replacement on a few devices now

Only if you don't buy the global versions.... Those Xiaomi phones have the 4G B20 band enabled.

Are you sure you can't use 2 SIMs and a memory card? There are 3 seprate slots. Also, what types (sizes) of memory cards will it support (the instructions don't say)
