Beware these are only 8GB versions and have very little free space to store more than a few apps. As soon as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google Maps etc start caching data, you're screwed! And to those who say "Oh well I can just store my apps on a microSD card!" - this will just slow the phone down massively over time. Read and write speeds of removable media compared to proper inbuilt flash memory is much lower.

The only notable benefit of this phone over a P8 Lite or a Smart Ultra 6 is the water resistance.

Vodafone smart 6 ultra is Way better in spec also cheap to unlock unlike the m4 aqua

also new for £89.99 on o2 PYG.
heat added.

Very good deal. Will be out of stock quickly.

Anybody know if the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is still available in asda.

vodafone isn't waterproof, is 5.5 inch screen - depends what you want your phone for.... I'm biting on this - thanks OP

payment not going through. anybody else having same issue?

Bargain
Saw these in poor used condition in cex yesterday for £89

I want!!!!

How hard would it be to unlock or how expensive?

try click and collect.

This is due Marshmallow which will resolve the internal storage issue through allowing the SD card to be part of it.

Comparison with Vodafone Smart 6 Ultra

Very poor screen to body ratio on this phone (65.2%). Up there with iPhones lol. The Meizu MX4, for instance, has a 5.4 inch screen but is shorter in height (75.5% screen to body ratio). It's not always about the screen size when it comes to pocket friendliness.

People get carried away with screen size and ignore actual body size. If you can get a bigger screen in the same body size then surely that's a massive plus?

Crippled by poor storage, always have 85% full warning. But hey, only 18 months to go :disappointed:

I guess that shows the benefits of doing a little research before buying a phone for your usage.
Will 8GB suffice for my app usage?
Do I want it waterproof?
Do I want a 5.5 inch screen / does my hand fit around a phone that size? Will it fit in my pocket?
Do I need to play games?
Do I want a good camera? Good in day or useful at night as well?
etc, etc
Maybe I'm showing my age! lol

Google M4 Aqua overheating. Then decide.

Regarding the marshmallow update Sony have decided not to include the memory share feature!! Double drat!

I have it. Got it when Vodafone was doing it for £99 last year. Unlocked it cheaply.

Never had overheating issues. Yes, storage space is limited but for me not a problem as I don't use many apps.

Screen is 5 inches, not 5.5. It is a big phone for its screen size. Bigger than my S6, which has a 5.1 inch screen lol.

Will get Marshmallow.

Works ok. It's a nice phone with its only drawback being the limited storage space.

Have ordered and will want to unlock. How did you get yours unlocked? online?.

Cheers to OP Anybody any idea where cheapest place to get unlocked

Bought one from O2 in December and it felt snappy for the first week or so.
Not installed much on it as you can't anyway with 8GB and the lag is really noticeable now.
It sits at 85% storage filled and keeps on nagging me about that.
I'll never buy a phone with less than 16GB in the future and glad this is my backup for travelling.

Can this be unlocked cheaply, I just bought one from Argos for £120 which I thought was a good deal, obviously it wasn't.

Thanks for sharing, heat added :sunglasses:

Price? Price? When has that ever mattered on this site when people kindly inform you what you could get instead? :smile:

"Spend £__ more and get an __, it's way better!" <----- oft used phrase on HUKD

Folks - one thing I didn't realise or check - it's a nano sim!

Try unlocking m4 aqua it will cost u also u can buy ultra 6 for £99

If anyone is planning on ordering to collect in store don't bother waste of a trip for me, they only had two, both open and covered in finger prints, was on live chat for 90 mins and they refused to help saying that stores only carry sealed stock and an online order was not given from store stock anyway and was separately dispatched there. I asked how that works when it's available to collect an hour after ordering and they just ignored me. Waste of time, took the phone back. Not sure whether to order one online for home delivery or shop elsewhere.

Great thanks, can you post the seller?

Yes, fastunlockercouk is the seller 321975069759 is the item number ,6 left

It's a bloomin disgrace on Sony's part.

This Sony has a 5 inch screen and the Meizu has a 5.4 inch screen. In other words, what I was highlighting is the difference in screen to body ratio. The Sony has a very poor one and the Meizu has a very good one. You also may want to check out the contrast in bezel size...

PS Snort laughing? :man:

So tempted but memory is what's stopping me :/

Oos for delivery so unless there's an available for collection near you then expired. None withing 60 miles of me

Yes mine is in pristine condition aswell

Cheers op mine arrived like new yesterday after I deleted useless apps I have 3 gb available for apps I only need viber and what's app that's all
Got it unlocked within 24 hours I have a sim only contract with o2 so filled in online unlocking form and reviewed unlocking code today
Unlocked for free and also got 10 credit on the o2 sim
A great bargain

I understand this has 2 gb ram and if you don't need many applications and games then it should stay responsive it's very quick for now let's see if it stays the same way in few months
