The ZX Spectrum Next (Accelerated Version) is the evolution of the original Spectrum, the computer Clive Sinclair would perhaps have made if given the chance at the time. Designed by Rick Dickinson (1957 - 2018) and Phil Candy, the Next embodies the very same principles that made the original computer a success: a beautiful look, ease of use right out of the box, endless hacking possibilities and power that punches way above its weight.

With new video modes, co-processors, more colours, sound channels, faster speeds, large storage and networking capabilities, the Spectrum Next leads the way for a generation of new games and apps created with the same philosophy that made the ZX Spectrum an icon, and the most successful home computer in British and Irish history.
