Best (arguably) 5.5" budget UK supplied and warrantied phone around at the moment. Will almost certainly be running 5.02 (not 5.1 as per specs).
Bought one from Vodafone just after release, happy with the phone though I wouldn't buy from Vodafone again if my life depended on it. :)

Mines been great but has unfortunately developed some broken pixels so I'll need to try return it for a warranty repair. I'm hoping Vodafone won't cause too many problems and just repair or replace.

Bought this phone when it was £99. No probs so far. The only thing I wish was better was the camera zoom performance while taking videos. Normal & 2X are very good. 3X is not great. 4X is very poor with everything looking 'blocky'.

I didn't rate the camera at all which is usually the case on cheap phones. Took the same picture side by side with an iPhone 6 and the iPhone was far superior. The colours were off and when enlarging the photo, the picture was very blocky.

I can highly recommend this, it is a dropper step up from the Moto G in terms of speed, RAM, flash, size and resolution. My only worry is whether is ever going to an upgrade. 5.1 is in the works, it seems, but of course it is already late.

5.0.2 is a hideous mobile OS. Anything less than 5.1.1 is rotten to the core. Lollipop is one of the worst mobile OS releases in quite some time.

Agreed, I've posted it a few times but there's a really annoying bug with spell check not allowing you to make any choices.
The camera is mediocre at best too.
Screen is lovely for watching videos but not sure if that should be the selling point of a phone.

why is 5.0.2 hideous and why is 5.1.1 better? I preferred 4.3 and 4.4 and still do.

Agree. Since I updated to Lollipop I cannot eg use sd cards. All my photos have been corrupted. :disappointed:

SU6 was supplied from new with Lollipop, SD card works as it should. Which phone are you referring to?
