Does it have to be unlocked or for a particular carrier?

Would be great if it works on EE

£80 for a new Wileyfox Spark X? I don't know the specific phone. I had an original Wileyfox Swift and that was good value.

For your budget, Xiaomi redmi 6A probably the best.

there is a Moto E5 play with Snapdragon 425, but I think it is slower than Helio A22

There are lots in the market but the best one is of Redmi.

What about buying manufacturer refurbished phones from places like argos then? Would that be a better idea?

Yes, but you will often be paying a premium, and things do slip through.

It depends what you want to do with the phone. Some want a great camera, others want it for games, others for facetime. Watcvhing films on the go, etc. They all have their good and bad points. Think you have to decide what you want to use it for, and buy around those features.
