There are 2 bush phones at the same price with, what looks to me, the same or better specs.
Any advice?

chancooluk to shalton

I wouldn't bother with any Bush model, regardless of price.

They are poorly built, and usually have software issues due to a total lack of optimisation. The cameras are always terrible too. Plus they don't get OS or security updates.

Other than the OS being more up to date, what makes this better than the SU6? I've seen a lot of people saying they prefer the SD615 processor from the SU6 versus the Mediatek in this one.

I have the ultra 7 and not to impressed with it tbh seems to lag/freeze regular, had the ultra 6 before that and had charging problems with that and rubbish battery life, will defiantly keep away in future

This probably shows that its a problem with cheap Android phones in general, seeing as though each handset from a different manufacturer (SU6 = ZTE Blade S6 Lux, SU7 = Alcatel Pop 4S).

Saw this today at Asda for £112.50 without a requirement to buy a top up.

Gone for this, but couldn't get free delivery for some reason. Thanks for posting, seems like a cracking deal.

Has it got stock android on it?

Sent my ultra 6 four times for repair due to a faulty headphone jack. Vodafone suck.

JoeBoy88 to hugekebab

I sent mine back twice for issues, then the 2nd time they said it was water damaged.

I complained to the CEO and got an ultra 7 to replace the 6. I'm quite happy with it but totally **** off with vodaphone.

LightningPete

25 Jan 17 #14

Had the Ultra then went for the Platinum. Platinum is so much better.
All the vodaphones cameras are brilliant during the day. Night photos are very average.
Responsive though considering.
2GB Ram might struggle if you are a heavy user.

ajdj to LightningPete

27 Jan 17 #38

Completely agree, Platinum is in a different league. Quickcomm 3.0 too so it charges super quick with the supplied charger! Screen and sound is amazing, camera is the only thing that could be better IMO but still good!

Thanks for the info. Just checked the specs. My wife has a ultra 6, but never really used the nfc.

biggest problem with these phones is the micro USB charge port. its way too fragile. I see so many phones with this issue. USB C will remedy this once more companies been using it

my and my friend's smart ultra 6 didn't last one year. moto is much better.

I bought one for £140 in mint with the fast charger and have been very impressed.

my SU6 is 18 months old and has never missed a beat.... Don't think that the SU7 is any better tbh..... Marshmallow supposed to be coming to SU6 in next month...

jaysexy212005

25 Jan 17 #22

Is the camera better on su7 then su6?

gsj87 to jaysexy212005

25 Jan 17 #23

Now this is the question. I've had the SU6 for the last 18 months and in every aspect, it's been great, aside from the camera. In daylight, the picture quality is ok at best and my camera is now very laggy and slow. No point even trying to take a picture in night/low light conditions. My secondary phone is an iPhone 5c which beats it hands down (and it's not even a great phone).

JoeBoy88 to jaysexy212005

26 Jan 17 #35

The camera is just as bad IMO.

Basically unusable in low light.

Great phone but actually very slightly inferior to the Vodafone Smart ultra 6 which was £99. Still voted hot though.

Thank you

have the smart ultra 6, best 120 I've spent on a phone . wish I could replace the battery if so I'd keep it another couple of years.

chancooluk

There is a glitch in the ordering system. If you select Saturday Delivery and buy more than 1 phone the site gives you a large discount for every extra phone you buy. There shouldn't be any discounts when choosing Saturday Delivery.

The total cost of QuantumX's order should be £57 + £11.95 = £68.95. But the actual order total comes to £36.05 due to the glitched 'discount'.

Sprograt

26 Jan 17 #32

I would personally not go for this over a Smart Ultra 6 due to the downgrade in the processor the SU6 had a Snapdragon 615 and the SU7 has a Mediatek MT6755M, the Snapdragon is still a better chip than any Mediatek equivalent or slightly higher rated MTK chip.

VBV

26 Jan 17 #33

I just got an email from LG saying my out of warranty G4 is fixed and being returned to me. I will probably cancel my order and stick with my G4 for now. But still worried that it will start bootlooping in the future as there are many online threads which say they had a bootloop even after the repair.

loopz to VBV

28 Jan 17 #40

Mine just bootlooped last night. How did you get repaired out of warranty? Can you pm me details cos I am having withdrawn symptoms

JoeBoy88

26 Jan 17 #34

Google it, I just googled it and they bent over backwards to help me.

I was getting fobbed off for a while both instore and over the phone before I resorted to it.

moto g4 is free with mobiles phones direct with talk mobile
2gb data 1000 mins 5000 texts is about 12.5 a month plus you can get 48 pounds cash back if you can be bothered

Question time... What in the.. processing department.. does it run on?

Jack2K0

Had the vodafone smart ultra 6, specs are very similar to this on first glance. Didn't even last a year before problems started. Dust preventing me from pressing anything on screen. Among other problems the phone crashed on startup and sometimes stayed like until the battery died. Camera was 0/10 could not take close up pics at all, other pics were blurry 50% of time......just a buyer beware

quick update to my opinion. now my speaker/volume going dodgy, very loud distorted, will not buy another ultra
