The Smart Ultra 6 is a 5.5-inch 4G handset with dimensions of 154 x 77 x 8.4mm (H x W x D) and a weight of 144g. As you might expect with a budget priced offering, this handset has a plastic casing available in a choice of black or grey with...

With a beautiful screen, great performance and excellent internet capabilities, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is a revelation for the price. Yet, dogged with a poor camera, average battery life and excessive bloatware, it isn't quite a perfect budget...

The Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is worth its £125 price tag without a doubt. It's one of the best experiences we've had with a budget smartphone, and nothing about this phone suggests that it's budget apart from its price tag. Compared to the Smart Prime 6,...

The Vodafone Smart ultra 6 has been created in partnership with ZTE and in all honesty this smartphone seems to be a clone of the ZTE Blade S6+, with, quite literally, one difference. This comes in the form of extra resolution for the 5.5” IPS display...

The Vodafone Smart ultra 6 is a relatively high-end phone, packed with great hardware, at a very affordable price of just £125 SIM-free. It certainly impressed me a huge amount, to the extent I am thinking about buying one to replace my iPhone 5S.The...

Vodafone have changed the way the mobile phone retail business is played. It is no longer about the high rollers and the most expensive handsets. The battle is now being fought on the budget and mid-range fields. Motorola’s Moto G has ruled over the...

Affordable smartphones usually involve a compromise in some form or another but aside from an uninspiring design, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 delivers a premium flagship experience at a fraction of the cost and shows that a good smartphone experience can...

At this price, this is a brilliant choice. It performed very well in most areas and I was pretty impressed...

Vodafone Smart Ultra 6: Battery Life One worry of a cheaper phone with a very large screen is whether it'll foul-up on battery life. However, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 once again does perfectly well. It has a 3000mAh battery that Vodafone claims will...

At just £125, or £17 per month with a Vodafone bundle, the Smart Ultra 6 offers seriously impressive value for money. Look beyond the tried-and-tested design and you've got a serious entertainment machine, packing Full HD visuals, solid performance,...

Vodafone partnered up with ZTE to develop the Smart Ultra 6, and the result is a handset boasting an impressive array of components for a very affordable price. Yes, the design is somewhat uninspired and nondescript, but it isn't terribly offensive, and...

By enostech.com on February 02, 2016

The performance of the Smart Ultra 6 is what I would expect from a smartphone of this type. It has a pair of good cameras on it, an octa-core CPU to ensure all tasks are completed quickly without lag and a 3000 mAh battery so it will easily make it...

Considering you can now get this phone at £115 on PAYG the price to spec ratio is impressive! For example you get Android 5.0.2 (which I upgraded to 5.1.1) a 5.5” Full HD display, 16GB Internal Storage (expandable up to 64GB via microSD), 2GB RAM, a...
