Bespoke offered £115.

​cheap code from eBay, got mine unlocked for about £3.25 using it on 3 now.

Well I can only see some icons are different. But given Tue fact that everyone said it would never happen the ultra 6 lives on :laughing:

Just finished upgrading mine and the only difference that I can see is the app drawer is vertical scrolling instead of side by side 'pages'

Mine looks exactly the same as before I did the upgrade..... I'm running next launcher though so I can't say if running on stock would change anything

Does the upgrade lose the app icons and radically change the look? I am still getting used to way 5 looks even after all this time.

Android 6 Marshmallow available now! Yay!

I've been really pleased with mine, 12,50 a month. Wow

I know I saw the post about an hour ago. Gutted, especially knowing Amazon will probably price match soon as well. Still a good phone at £125, an absolute bargain at £99 though

£99 online !

Have you both checked if you are vulnerable to stagefright and heartbleed or if the updates you've had have sorted these issues?:

Any one have issues for using tethering with this phone? Laptop states connected but no internet access. Using the phone for internet is fine, network okay for tethering. Any special settings or solutions? Thank you

Ok thanks both of you

Mine had one update but was a minor one and stayed on 5.0.2

mine has updated once, had it a month or 2 and its on 5.0.2

Ok thanks. Has it done any updates, as I've seen people saying they've had a few updates since buying there's?

Only had mine about a month, latest is 5.02. It came with it.

Hi,

Can someone who has had their SU6 for a few months now tell me what the latest version of software they have been upgraded to is? The first one I got I rooted straight away so that now doesn't get updates, I'm due to get another one on Friday and want to make sure its at the latest version of Android prior to rooting that as well.

Thanks

Now £120 at Amazon for they grey version. 2-5 week wait though.

Amazon link

Didn't know about the £5 thing. I will probably do that from now on.

I don't want any sort contract. I think the £10 will last me quite a long time if I stick with wifi.

Three's 321 plan is great - but not so great for heavy data users.

To get better value it's best to top up £5 each time - as the free 150MB is on every top up you make, not just on £10 top ups. So theoretically £10 will get you 300MB of data plus £10 worth of data at 1p per MB = 1.3GB.

I'm not a huge fan of WiFi hotspots myself as I'm sick to the teeth with splash screens and login pages that pop up after you've been browsing for a few minutes. Yes, there are apps by BT, Sky, O2 and other WiFi operators that allow for automatic logins without the need to hit 'continue' etc, but they just take up space and I find them unnecessary.

Have you given the ID network a thought? They are owned by Carphone Warehouse but use Three's network - and are much cheaper than Three. It is a contract though, but only for 30 days.

Actually I used it twice on two servers so that is about 40 each time.

I opted for 321 three as I didn't think I would use mobile data much and use wifi instead. Also not much in calls The not expiring element is useful. Hopefully checking emails, facebook etc won't take much.

I think need to experiment with wifi hotspots. Any good free apps that can find them?

Unfortunately that does sound about right. Speed tests use a considerable amount of data, and the faster your connection the more data they consume.

Plus a few megabytes may be attributed to background data, such as emails coming in and other apps which use the Internet in the background.

Quick question about the speedtest.net app. I have only done one download test on the three mobile data and it has used 70MB of the 150MB free internet for the month? Is that right? The download speed was 21Mbps.

Wow, full refund even with a smashed screen that's unreal :confused:

​i would second that. I had a ZTE Blade S6 that I couldn't update (then I smashed the screen). told amazon. they refunded me all £170 within the hour and sent me a prepaid delivery sheet asking me to send the broken phone back to them within a month. Bought this phone mainly cos I can off Amazon!

I have no problems with my glass protector covering the sensor and front camera.

Looks like that protector is covering the proximity sensor near the ear piece too, I have these from Amazon, they are a perfect fit - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01150M998/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item

Avoid buying anything from this seller... the screen protector they are selling is way too small for this model and you will be left with a 0.5cm gap in the bottom of the screen. And the seller will refuse to admit that the protector is faulty and refuse to refund you. Stay away from them as hell.

I am with Tesco and got 63mbps with 4gg, which was way quicker than my home wi-fi, which was only 18mbps.

I'm biased, but yes. They are the largest 4G network in the UK by far.

I checked speed with a samsung SIII so 3G and it is almost same speed as my wireless connection of 5Mbps.

Is EE supposed to be the best for 4G then?

Yes, that'll be 4G and is a very good speed. I've achieved speeds of over 90Mbps in certain areas but that's with EE. But anything above 5Mbps is good really.

Just topped up my phone and decided to test the download speed. I got 21Mbps download for what I assume is 4G. Is that good what do others get with this phone?

has anyone seen the new official case:
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/accessories/sku88287
I cant see any reviews yet but looks pretty good

I like open camera. I had it installed but I couldn't make my ming up trying to decide on what camera app to use. I now have the a better camera one and the stock android.

sorry, could you kindly try? just go to msn or something, just a few kB of your data - if your have some extra time.......thank you

Never had the need to tether so wouldn't know and generally only use wifi rather than data so i'm not the person to be asking sorry

How about tethering? Have you tried? Does your phone work? (with the receiver being able to use internet, not just 'connected') Thanks again

Thanks Steevieboy4u. That is where I got the settings to get the phone working in the first place. Once it gets indoor (in restaurant), the signal is gone (with '!'). How is your signal when you are 'deep inside' a shopping mall?

Taken from here:

http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/talkmobile-apn-settings

Name - Talkmobile
APN - talkmobile.co.uk
MMSC - http://mms.talkmobile.co.uk/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy - 212.183.137.12
MMS Port - 8799
APN type - If given a choice, select internet+mms, if the keyboard appears enter *

Thank you so much. Well......it is what I need but I need it for TalkMobile......thanks anyway

Is this what you need?

http://community.48months.ie/t5/Internet/Vodafone-Smart-Ultra-6/td-p/36161

Any chance you can share the APN settings here? Connection to the TalkMobile okay when outdoor but indoor generally quite poor, showing 'signal' but with an exclamation on it, cannot use internet. PS. I did speak to an advisor at TM but not much help. So...... APN setting? Pls

The smiley face function is a pain (thought it was good when i first tried it) and some of the other auto functions are problematic as well. So going to install another camera app, not decided which yet though.

How do people find the auto mode of the camera? I find it doesn't always select the white balance and have to use manual mode or a different camera app. I have a better camera one and like it a lot. It does seem to use more battery though.

have had this phone for a week from asda £125 without the £10 top up from asda. as on a talkmobile monthly contract which uses Vodafone network there was n need to unlock the phone which would negate the warranty. just called up talkmobile after advised by guy at Vodafone store, talkmobile talked me through changing my APN and proxy settings in 5 mins. job done

How is the reception for 3G signal? And any one has a success creating a hotspot with this phone? With the 3G, I put this phone next to a Sony Xperia (indoor), both with the same network SIM, Xperia has 3-bar and a H but SU6 is out of reach, no signal at all. When there is signal, hotspot created with SU6 fine, another device 'connected' to it but never manage to connect to internet (network is TalkMobile and it is okay with tethering, which is true for the other TalkMobile SIM I have). Please enlighten me, thank.

Hmm interesting. Side effect of the unlocking? I didn't notice it before but then it had no sim card until it was unlocked.

Yes unlocked on o2

Have you unlocked the phone? I have seen the same thing mentioned on another website and was also on three.

I have this as well. It's a pain because whattsapp reports a issue and I have to restart the app after the date gets corrected. I only reboot at home so the WiFi corrects it within seconds. Is there any fix ?

Irritating as I don't have wifi on all the time. How come it hasn't been fixed by a update?

It would also explain why sound profile app shows 1970 in the lock screen notification.

Mine does it too, if you restart the phone date & time is March 1970, some phones have some don't, you need to turn on data or wifi to sync the correct date & time, it's called "Unix Epoch time bug"

Showing the right time now. Ok, seems to switch on at wrong time but as soon as wifi is on, it get right time. What is causing it?

Front camera is fine.

What date bug? It shows right time and date currently.

The Amazon screen Iphone6 plus protector has turned up and got it on. It took a couple of goes getting it on but is much better. I had trouble getting it lined up ok and was not flat at one end, Luckily it allows the protector to come off easily. It perhaps could have be a little more to the left but I am not taking it off again. It came with wet and dry wipes and a sticky bit of film to get any leftover dust off.

Have you tried using the front camera?

Yes.

I've been using this one for a year or so and its very good:

I have tried. It is v variable as to whether it works or not.

Thanks for the heads up, I think I'll reconsider which app to use then - there's a number out there that do the same thing (usually a search along the lines of 'screen off' brings up apps that turn the screen on/off when the case is open or closed).

Just had a quick look at the app description and oh my, it looks so suspicious. Very poor English throughout, and I wouldn't want to imagine what data it's harvesting from you in the background.

Smart Cover Lite (Screen Off): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyarmy.sensornearcover&hl=en_GB

you might need to adjust the settings though, I found the delay of 1 second too irritating, 2 is about right :smiley:

I have hated the screenshot method since android 4.2. When my samsung tabley was on I think 4.1.1, there was a simple button at the bottom of the screen. Now it is a pain to do.

I should finally get the screen protector I ordered a week ago from Amazon. Got some cheap bluetooth headphones to try too.

Does this use all the UK 4g bands

I just tried the vol down and power button, the screen capture was instant,

What's the app that turns screen off. On please

Has anyone tried to do a phone screen shot? Apparently you are supposed to press the vol down and power button. I cannot get it to work tried numerous different ways with these 2 buttons but can't get it to work. In the end i've had to download an app, which is still a pain as you have to either have a permanent icon (which shows on the screen shot) or mess about loading up the app prior to screen shotting. Any suggestions would be good as i use this feature quite often.

Thanks so much! Will try it tonight :smiley:

This case I have got has a magnet on the flap. Seller also has it for £5.95 with a glass protector.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171901709886?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=470825075410&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Anyone know if the ZTE S6 lux cases will fit this? I really want a magnetic closure case but I can only find ones with a strip fastening thing for the Vodafone specifically...

I have a glass protector coming from Amazon but thought I get the one I saw too. I am leaving the plastic one not used atm.

I got two cases from ebay and they fit perfectly. Unfortunately the seller after I bought a case then started selling it with a glass protector.

Just read what you've put again and guessing you mean a screen protector rather than a case? :man:

Just been to Home Bargains. They had a plastic 59p Iphone6 plus protector and thought what the hell and got it. Still no sign of my glass one being dispatched yet.

Bought from Asda in store an hour ago £125 and no top up required...ebay unlock code required

​ I'd only owned the phone 2 minutes so didn't really have anything to back up. The apps etc I'd installed prior to rooting were still there so I reckon it won't affect anything other than giving you root access and installing superuser.

Did it wipe the phone? did you need to back up anything?

What is the benefit of rooting?

I wouldn't mind removing the vodafone boot animation with something better.

Worked a treat for me, only took the phone out of the box yesterday :stuck_out_tongue: - Cheers

Still can't root his phone!! any ideas guys? I've tried cwp and andsupersu etc. just won't work!

Got one fitted on my Samsung Note 2014 edition, crystal clear and looks great :sunglasses:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171901680584?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=470825048267&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I paid £3.95 without the glass protector.

If they are any good, I look at getting one for my Samsung Tablet too.

Seller I used had a listing for a case with crappy plastic one but now has the same case with a glass protector too.

The tempered glass screen protectors are so much better. Once you've used one you won't look back, crystal clear and they are easier to fit as well.

Got one on my current phone and my tablet so want to get one for this phone as well (never buying the crappy plastic things again)

Think i'll just bite the bullet and get the specific one for the phone.

I bought a case from eBay, made for this phone and got a screen protector with it. About £6 iirc.

Do you know how scratch proof this glass is on this phone? Seems to be NO info around.........

It uses toughened glass but not to gorilla glass standards.

Steevie - Looking for a glass protector too. Iphone 6 plus protectors are supposed to be good too with the exception of a hole for the home button on the iphone. I wouldn't mind seeing pics of one on the SU6.

Sorry don't know

Why do you want one?

I use a very good wallet case: basically the screen doesn't get scatched.

PS does anyone know what glass is used on this phone? The spec doesn't say.

Wanting to get a tempered glass screen protector, seen on a website that the Huawei Ascend G7 is virtually the same size etc and these tempered glass screen protectors can be picked up for a 1/5th of the price of the Ultra 6 version can anyone confirm if they will be suitable or not? Get my phone tomorrow so not even seen it yet.


http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=Tempered+Glass+Huawei+Ascend+G7&_sop=15

and apps stored on my SD card and are placed on homepage.. always disappears after a few hours!!

had it for few days and when I watch YouTube.. for some reason now.. it flickers a lot.. and some blue screen keeps on flicking a few times.. anyone else have similar issues?

Bespoke Offers can't beat the price... any tricks available so they'll change their mind? :smiley:

I got mine from amazon and after years of being a staunch advocate of windows phone, hanging on to my lovely lumia 920 even with a cracked screen for the last 12 months, i have to say this phone is excellent and even more excellent value for money. I do play games on it and whilst it does get a little warm whilst playing and charging at the same time I would not say to the extremes others have mentioned.

hi is this better than moto g 2nd gen? thanks

Woudl be more interested in what people make of the phone who have had it a while

Just to update, mine has been dispatched from Bespoke today!

Hello,

Just purchased the phone, a much needed upgrade from my Nexus 4. Flubbit and Bespoke for me said that they could not offer a better price than Amazon. So what I did was took advantage of the current Amazon voucher promotion (the hottest deal of the month I believe). So I purchased a £40 gift voucher and then a day later got a additional £10 free from Amazon. So the total cost of the phone was £115 for me. Hopefully helps other people out looking to buy the phone from amazon.

PS the £40 gift voucher purchase + £10 free ends on the 29th of August.

That's cool. Thanks!

Awesome that include 3G? Not expecting 4g

Will this work in the USA? Just bought it and unsure looking at specs if it'll run there. Any help would be most appreciated

Seeing as the 14% Quidco cashback expires tonight I've gone ahead and placed my order, I'll update the thread when it arrives! I just couldn't miss out on getting one for (potentially) under £100.

​my first time ever..

it says 4-7 days for me

bespoke offered me £109!

so what phone is worth getting, looking at a Chinese phone with Vodafone 4g support. any ideas

now had it for a day. been using it for web surfing and chrome casting. not felt it overly hot . after moving from my old s3. this is fast

I have just returned mine, I had it for a week and noticed that it sometimes got hot when making calls. Uncomfortable to press against my ear kinda hot. Calls were less than 5minutes. Not every time so I wonder if it was the transmit power increasing when in weak signal areas. As it might have been pumping extra rf energy out directly into the old grey, I decided to return under the 14day policy. The hot spot was fairly localised to the area thay touches the ear.
Shame as a great phone, so back to the 1st gen moto-g for now.

Just checked my Amazon order again its on the way to me today!

But so does an iPhone 5 actually

it does get very hot

Oh thanks... I thought that was a messaging app that used the data connection like whatsapp

Has anyone else noticed that this phone overheats quickly when playing games and multi tasking?

Any one that has unlocked it will know the built in text app can only used on vodafone, what one have they downloaded?

Has anyone unlocked this phone? (I want to use on EE). If so, what did you pay? How long did you wait? And what is the source? I want a reliable thing, not a flybynight operation.

Next-day delivery available now.

Can the bloatware be easily removed?

One for sale in Bournemouth on Gumtree.

just downloaded it, very easy to use...cheers

Well my amazon delivery date is now stating 27th August...

+1 for Textra. Use that already on my HTC. Love it.

Its not that funny is it?

I got a nano sim last night from Tesco and bought an unlock code from ebay, the bloody code does not work.

The one from Amazon is unlocked already??

My payment gas been declined ao will make payment after Friday prayer.

I have ordered some spare, if anyone wants one at cost price plus delivery do advise

Tried to order one from Asda to collect from the store and it simply said it was now unavailable with no option to buy.
Ordered one directly through Vodafone this morning and it says 1-2 weeks for delivery to my local store. I haven't actually used or seen one except reviews so going to trial it for a few days and return if not satisfied. I'm coming from a HTC One M7.

So I talked to amazon customer services. They informed me they didn't have stock delivered as promised and will not be receiving the stock for over a month. I cancelled my order and they gave a 5 pound amazon voucher as way as an apology. I just ordered one through the vodafone website to pick up in my local store tomorrow :wink:

I just bought 1 from asda, I was asked if I wanted to buy a top up, but declined, as i intend unlocking and putting my Tesco sim in, so paid £125.
There is a £10 Vodafone sim package inside, but I assume it does not include any credit on it already.

Bought one from vodafone store but wanted to sell me a £10 bundle. I told them if I'd ordered online to click and collect in store you could keep existing sim and not have to pay the additional £10 bundle.
They didn't want to know. So I got my phone out and showed them the click and collect offer. After a couple of visits to her manager they let me have it for £125.

Picked one up from the Mansfield Vodafone store after my Amazon order got pushed back to 5/9-15/9 time period. Looks a good phone already unlocked it which was pain free

I ordered mine on Tuesday night at 10pm from Asda and picked it up 3.30 the next day from the Wigan store car park click and collect. Nice phone, bit bigger than I expected but clear screen.

ah really!? I might have to try my local stores when they get stock in 2 weeks if amazon are gonna take that long! But then have to buy a £10 top up with it..

Just had a quick look at one of these in Vodafone's Fleet branch (they had plenty in store). Looks very nice. Screen is sharp and the camera looks good. The only thing that bothers me is that it's so much bigger than my humble Moto G. Not sure my hands and fingers are up to the job!

Thanks. I wouldn't have if I already had the phone. This was before buying as one of the threads (I think XDA) I read someone mentioning that his phone had a few dead pixels and Vodafone refused to replace the phone citing the reason of an unauthorised network unlock. What I essentially wanted to understand was that if I get this phone unlocked from ebay, would Vodafone come to know about this and therefore void warranty in case needed to claim.

Had no luck with bespoke, claimed the black was out of stock. Is there anywhere I can actually buy this from? People don't seem to be having much luck from the Vodafone website.

I was chatting to a Vodafone exec and I saw told that if I get this phone unlocked from anyone but Vodafone themselves, this would definitely good Vodafone warranty in case phone developes any issue. Any experience on this guys, has anyone checked about this. I am on tmobile and will definitely have to get the phone unlocked..

Thanks

What about the Sony M4 aqua for the same price. Slightly smaller screen?

just had an email . delivery date now into September

I picked one up in store in Evesham with the top-up voucher, but hoping to sell the voucher. I think there is one or two in stock around me... check it on their website

I agree, can anyone recommend a decent case? eBay link please :innocent:

superb phone, only a few issues, the major one for me was no sky go. Great battery, performance and screen, crazy for the money

I picked one up in store. I have an S6 now for work had an S6 edge before. If I am honest, I prefer the Smart Ultra 6. I find it more responsive. Have the same apps installed as well.

Can anyone recommend the best cases for this please?

Has anyone had their order dispatch? Mines updated to delivering by 9pm weds but still says not yet dispatched

For owners, pls kindly comment on the speed and accuracy of the GPS. This would be the deciding issue in buying this phone. Many thanks

Any and all the shops near me have no stock now!!

looks like I'll have to hope there's some in stock when I go shopping tomorrow... 1 to 2 months delivery!

Yes similar, sometimes Flubit gives better prices, more recently Bespoke have been far better prices though, plus TopCashback on Bespoke Beat My Price as well.

FOund out the info myself:

https://www.bespokeoffers.co.uk/consumer/beatmyprice/

Similar to Flubit then :man:

What bespoke deal with this phone that people keep mentioning??

I didn't buy the £115 offer as I have been getting around 17-20% discount lately on Bespoke. Thought I would try again for a better discount. Oh well, I am in no hurry as have a Moto G 2nd Gen now thanks to the recent CPW deal. I'll wait for Amazon shipping estimate to go down, probably later in the week and then try again.

Bespoke Offers are now saying Amazon are out of stock so they can't offer on it right now.

Anybody had theirs despatched yet? Ordered on the 15th and still not despatched yet

Is there any where to buy it without having to pay £10 Vodafone top up as well

Cheers, think i'll pre-order then see and see what its like.

it says despatched with one or two months! :confused:

Sorry, I guess the inaccuracy you mentioned was for jiayu S3 not this SU6.
So, SU6 gets lock pretty quick (<10s from cold?) and with good accuracy (never driving in the middle of a field or on the wrong road)?
Sorry, but this is an important feature to me so I have to ask a little more. Thanks

What's Amazon's return policy on mobile phones? My Mrs is interested but wants to see it and see what it's like first. Tried to look in store but none were available :disappointed:

Theyre good but the menu soft key doesnt light up when you press it but the other 2 do. Bit of a weird glitch things lie that annoy me

Bought last month for my boy's birthday as he had cracked the screen on my old s2 that he was using.
Really good phone, can uninstall 98% of the unwanted voda bloatware to give a near clean lollipop experience.
Based on previous Voda update history, don't expect any big updates to the phone for some time, if ever.

The boy loves it, although hates having to be so precious with it (I've told him any damage and he pays full price for replacement phone!!!), doesn't want a case so on his head....

I have had mine two weeks now and am chuffed for what we paid. I hear that the latest lollipop should make it run smoother as well. let's hope it comes soon

Had mine a week or so, got my current sainsburys sim cut down to fit, really great phone. Runs Fallout Shelter really well.. Only downside is that it doesn't quite fit in my chino pockets, so I will now be purchasing a man bag to carry my phone around in.

Vodafone in Ross-on-Wye had an A-frame board advertising this in the street outside their store. When I went in they didn't even have one on display!

Yeah that's what I'm planning on doing, was in an adsa store yesterday looking at these, the sales advisor tried telling me they weren't great phones, he said they had low internal storage and that the processor would struggle with most things, he pointed me towards a low end windows phone. At that point I left.

Many people from the original Vodafone post had ordering issues, Vodafone are bl**dy useless. I'd order from Amazon and refuse delivery if Vodafone actually get round to delivering yours.

got this phone but make sure the phone is fully working before you unlock it as unlocking it voids warranty. they wouldn't replace mine after 2 days of buying it which has a dead pixel on the screen.

Good phone for the money but too big. Both daughters want a replacement for their moto g 4g due to lack of storage, anyone recommend a decent 4g, they all seem to be 5+ now too big for their pockets.

how is this compared to galaxy s4? thanks.

Great phone, had for a month, £3-4 unlocks on eBay, cheap cases and protectors available now. Camera very good. Early development activity on modaco and this should be the next orange San Francisco. Bargain for this price and much better value than current moto range. Recommend!

this used to be £80 on Amazon just a few weeks back or am I mistaking this for another Vodafone phone?

Plenty of discussion on hotukdeals about this phone and the difficulty of getting it from Vodafone. I'm one of the lucky ones and have had it for a month now and am still happy. I'm sure that a galaxy S6 or LG G4 are better phones but they're 4 times the price.

Is it worth moving from LG G3 to this phone? I am sick of short battery life and over heating problems on my LG G3..

How is the 4g connectivity on giffgaff? is it worth moving from LG G3 to this phone? I am sick of short battery life and over heating problems on my LG G3...

Can anyone answer how periscope performs on this?

Thanks. Preordered. Needed a change
Can't stand the LG g2

Just asked my good lady wife what rating she would give her new phone... She said 9/10.
She was coming from a Samsung Galaxy S3

​I've also checked with Titanium Backup and the only app I've had to freeze is one with Chinese writing. I also have an adblocker and have app permissions activated to keep track of what apps are doing.

Anyone know if the SU6 already comes with Gorilla glass or do you need to fit your own protector? I checked GSMArena and they didn't say anything about Gorilla glass.

nice phone

In addition to my original post, despite voting hot this is just the normal price... Still phenomenal value for money though.

Happy to answer any questions that anyone might have.

I love my SU6 - really enjoyable phone to use.

Thanks for that. The honor is more of a side step from my moto g than an upgrade like the ultra 6 would be. Its the right size though.

I guess I'm going to be looking at an S5 mini or equivalent

These are also available at ASDA at the same price.
I bought the wife one and i have to say i think its absolutely awesome. I have an LG G3 but i wouldn't be gutted if i had to swap. Granted the build quality isnt quite as good, theres no gyroscope and cases aren't so plentyful but for the money these are absolutely brilliant. Its really responsive, battery is really good. Screen is so impressive and all for essentially peanuts!

Bloatware isnt too bad (most of it can be removed or disabled).

Got a superb case and some excellent screen protectors from fleabay... My missus was really chuffed with it.

Its such excellent value for money and im a difficult man to please.

If you're looking for phones in this price bracket just buy one... You'll think its been mispriced.

I thought I would pick this up in the vodafone store but you have to buy £10 top up as well, so if you are wanting to unlock it, have that in mind.

Malwarebytes didn't show anything for me either, but it was there under services (there was 10 or so dodgy services running). I had random adverts showing even after resetting so I knew something wasn't right. Compass works, its the gyroscope that doesn't. The jiayu has a better CPU, but unless you're benchmarking you won't notice in general use and gaming.

Has a compass but no gyroscope so google cardboard doesn't work. Sky go it loaded up unlike the S3 so I just assumed it would work, apologies.

I had the choice between this and a nexus 6 from smartfonestore (in original box, looks flawless). I ended up choosing the nexus as i wanted the extra screen size and I missed the quick updates and stock software that nexus provide.

In daily use i suppose there isn't much difference so i would go for the smart ultra 6, if you have the extra £100 then go nexus like i did.

Damn that size, just too big for me.

What would be the equivalent phone in a smaller size? I have moto g 1st gen but the limited storage is making me look at upgrades.

Yes I agree the charging time on the Jiayu S3 is a bit slow. But I'm getting at least 6hrs screen on time, so that's not really to much of an issue.

I've not had any issues with it getting hot at all.

I had heard that some people were finding malware on theirs, but I checked mine with malwarebytes and found nothing. If I had done though, I could have just removed it simply as the phone is pre-rooted.

I've tried the compass and it works. As well as all my other apps. Including banking ones, Here etc.

The main issue I see with the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is the rather poor CPU. It just can't compete with that of the Jiayu S3.

Bespoke offered £115.

I got one of these yesterday for £125 from vodafone UNLOCKED. If you no someone on vodafone they will unlock it for free if you have the number. Thats what the lady told me and thats what happened. I got the unlock code on the receipt and am now using it on GiffGaff.

I thought the Smart Ultra 6 doesn't have a compass? And that Sky Go also doesn't work as it thinks you're using Miracast?

For £130 I picked up a Jiayu S3 Advanced. Which has 3gb RAM, 1.7ghz octa-core, NFC, OTG. Yes it's a Chinese phone, but I received it within a week of ordering. It came via DHL. It also came with a free silicon case, little stand, sd card reader, OTG cable, and a glass screen protector. After using it for a almost a week now, I'd definitely recommend it. I'd also recommend the seller I bought it from Bloomberg Mikki at AliExprees.

I bought my son this phone yesterday for his birthday it seems good ony thing is it hasn't got screen mirroring just cast screen which doesn't seem to work with my Samsung tv

And onto Bespoke BMP and Flubit this goes, lets see how cheap we can get this :smiley:

I looked into this already and realised that it is about the same (an in fact worse if you look at cold stats) that the S3 which I already own. Think I will just try to get the One Plus 2 and get a decent level phone.

does anyone know how the camera in this stacks up against the one in the Samsung S3?

I heard this phone has problems with apps crashing, can anyone confirm or deny??

Just ordered one, seems like a great deal specs wise for the price. Easily unlockable on Ebay for around £3. Upgrading from a Nexus 5 2013

You want to listen to music on a phone u should be using headphones anyway. At home Bluetooth to a sound bar

For music?

Is the speaker any good?

Great phone for this price !!!

Everyone swears by the g2s battery life. I only get a day from it. Its quite laggy too and limited to 16gb as I have 16gb version only. The sony z3 compact is much better, the battery is better, its slicker, however after lollilop the battery has somewhat gone a bit down. Hope this battery may be better. I have ordered this but ideally a dual sim would be better for my needs. Sick of carrying 2 phones!

I'm getting a day and a half out of it, two days at a pinch normally.

Got one. Can definitely recommend.

this phone is the bomb for the price. I've just picked one up from Vodafone store. The extra half inch screen and handset size is going to take a bit to get used to compared to Moto G gen 2 but sure I won't look back. It sure as won't run like crap like the Moto G does.

just waiting for nano sim replacement and unlock code.

How does a LG g2 compare

Is it waterproof so I can watch movies in my hot tub?

thanks

should also note this has NFC unlike many other cheap handsets

so will these unlock codes open it up to giff gaff . also does anyone know any good Vodafone based networks that would be an alternative cheers

Also it's a rebranded zte s6 lux not a blade 6+

cant see what the internal memory is

is this phone 4g?

Thanks to Ken

COCO

does the oneplus have universal 4 g this time or does it only work on EE and three etc

Amazon site says this is a pre order for 17th.

What's the unlock process for these - code off ebay? something more technical?
Sorely tempted but want to stay on my Tesco (O2) sim only contract.

For the price, what it offers...WOW. If you want the most bang for your buck, this is not going to disappoint. For me however, the fact it's 'phablet' sized kills it, that and its all too similar in design to a iPhone - a plus for some but not me. I'm still looking for a Moto X 2nd gen for under £200, then bang!

Yep same price as vodafone although Amazon have a better return policy, easier to buy from, you can use gift certificates and i think they have more payment options.

This is RRP, what's the "Deal?"

Great phone for the price tho and easily unlocked to other networks
