Nougat

SU6 is a better phone. That had a Snapdragon at least.

or add a 5p bag ?

stuck om android 6 ?

Vodafone wont be seeing android 7 anytime soon

This is a good phone right?

Looks interesting; I can't help but wondering whether the extra would be worth it for the Moto G5 (or even the G4). Both got Nougat with a promise from Lenovo of O (Oreo?).

How do I get FAST TRACK (and hence no top up)?
I canot see Fast Track on the linked page

Is that locked to Vodafone? And is it easy to unlock?

Thx

Given that you would pay the same price for the same spec on a Chinese website, its a good deal.

side tract a little, how do you find the 'cheap' items in Argos? how to search / filter?

Nougat

I have a smart ultra 6 but as this is no way an upgrade I will not be partaking. Lenovo p2 for me, when I can convince the wife that is.

Would love this for the SU6 !

The Lenovo p2 would also be a good choice. Ok at around £200 it's more that the g5 or this Smart Ultra but with 32gb and 4gig ram, and an insane battery life, I've been impressed.

I don't understand. Whether Fastrack price is just £99? Dont needed to buy the TopUp?

What don't you understand?

What don't you understand?

How bad is the sync issue though?

Where does it say its £99 via fast track, i can only see 'Handset must be purchased with £10 airtime. This will automatically be added to your transaction. Handset not available without airtime.'

I think I will stick with my SU6 than waste £100 on the SU7

Daughter's SU6 died with the screen edge glue issue, Vodafone 'upgraded' to SU7 (under the 2 year warranty though I had to remind them it was 2) which I sold (don't like MediaTek). Bought a xiaomi redmi note 3 se which is a great phone.

Just this week replaced my battery on smart Ultra 6 so I will stay with this :smiley: interesting though as the 6 has been great value to me.

Where'd you originally buy your's from?, or ..... thanx. :-)

Got it from Amazon for £95 maybe £99 - battery really easy to replace although not intended to.

That's one of those scam sites that tries to get you to download its virus filled "ROM" files.

Only trust official sources, or if you are after alternative ROMs, try XDA. Ignore everything else you find on a google search for Android updates, its almost always a scam.

I can see nothing about the free £10 voucher however it is the fast track variant. (£99.99) Fast track isn't free btw so plus £3.95 del.

Yes, as chancooluk says, this is fake. It's a scam to get you to download malware at best and viruses at worst. Don't touch sites like this.
XDA Forums are the place to look for any ROMS and I don't think anyone has come up with anything for the SU7.

I got the slightly superior SU6 for £89 just before it went out of stock and was slated on this site for posting the deal as apparently there would be no updates??? A few weeks later the Android 6 update came out for it.

how about xiomi redmi note 4, just few quids more than Vodafone smart u7. note 4 comes wth 4100 and dual sim
only drawback is we need to get it from ebay UK seller for 190 pounds

hows the swift 2. was considering it or 2 plus. Camers any good.

fast track isn't the 3.95 delivery? sorry my mistake if it means something else, not complaining but asking

£10 voucher is for purchases above £100. Offer available for all Online, InStore, FastTrack purchases.

Thanx. :-)

Where'd you get yours from please?. :-)

Had mine SU6 for almost 2 years... I was kinda hoping it to go wrong in 2 years time so that I could get a replacement under warranty but no such luck...
The only issue is camera really.. If you want half decent pics then stay away from SU7 as the camera is the same as SU6
Voted hot as still a lot of phone for £99

Anyone know if you void warranty if you have it unlocked?

Just this week had my su6 replaced under warranty after 18 months with this phone. Had almost given up they made it so difficult. Shame really as I was looking forward to buying a lenovo p2.
99p to unlock this from eBay,code delivered within 30 mins.

My su6 was unlocked and they replaced it under warranty. I didn't tell them though, not that they even looked at my phone

Thanks OP. The wife recently lost her Nexus 7 tablet. There aren't that many decent, sub-£100 7" 1080p tablets around these days so after a think, she reckoned she could do everything she did on the Nexus on a 5.5" phone instead. The fact that she could use the £10 Argos voucher to get a tenner off some new bathroom scales sealed the deal! Heat added.

Whether the pric is £99.99 or £109.99? how come it will be 99.99 in FastTrack. Also, I couldn't see FastTrack icon on the page?

First you must register and log in on the Argos web site otherwise you can't get the phone at the low Fast Track price. Put the phone in your basket. Click on Collection. On the next screen you will see a panel (not a single icon) which asks if you want the in-store Fast Track service. Add something small (I added a £1 SIM) to get the £10 off voucher. Then pay (I used PayPal). I used the £10 off voucher on a separate order for the bathroom scales (£12.99 reduced to £2.99 with the voucher. Bargain!).
Everything (phone, SIM & scales) was ready for collection at my local Argos at 4:00 pm (they e.mail you to confirm it's deffo there). Give the codes to the Argos assistant and she gives you the stuff. Very quick!
Have the phone and after a few minutes of messing around, I'm quite impressed. It's a bit more compact and a bit lighter than my Smart Ultra 6.
Hope this helps...

Piece of cake, show them their own website...

Annoying that they try this on, they're also known for suggesting an active Vodafone SIM is required too. I didn't mention the SIM that came with the PAYG phone(was never used) and gave them my 3 number for contact. Around 14 day turnaround while they decided what to do before deciding to 'upgrade'. Happy not to require any further dealings with them! :smiley:
Edit:I'm certain you can book a repair online or possibly via chat though I've found most dealings with Vodafone to be unpleasant.

I showed the manager that and he was having non of it. They said without a Vodafone sim they wouldn't be able to arrange the repair either. I had to complain via email and eventually got a call saying they would replace it.
Worst customer service I have ever encountered

I bought it yesterday. The phone comes around £80 indirectly.
If you pay online it's just £99 including top-up and you will get a £10 voucher if you make the purchase to £100.
So £100 - £10(voucher) - £10(top-up) = £80(worth).

This or Moto G5 for around £150?

The Xiaomi phones blow this out of this the water.

The Note 4 (SD625, 3GB/32GB, 1080p, 4000mAH, aluminium unibody, fingerprint sensor etc) is £120 for the Global version.

The 2GB/16GB version is ~ £100.

If you don't need a 5.5" or 1080p, the standard Note 3/4 can be had for about £80-£90.

All 3 phones offer more features, 'bang per buck' and better build quality than this Vodafone.

Possible VAT and Import Duty? No credible 'take it back to Argos' guarantee? A ROM that is definitely free from dodgy Chinese Trojan viruses? These are equally valid reasons why the SU7 might be the more sensible purchase. Also having now had a play with the wife's SU7, all I can say is it's fine; more or less the same as my old SU6.

Did not know you could replace the battery on these ultra 6 models thought they were totally sealed ? anyway my second one has just gone back to amazon, first lasted a few months and second one nine months... keyboard, extreme lagging and random apps opening themselves etc !!
pity as think the phone was great for the money but just won't take another chance with one, not sure if to try the ultra 7 ?

Yes, with normal post, it's free of import taxes etc, since it comes via a European hub.

Yes, the Global ROM is free of viruses, trojans etc. Scan it with Kasperksy etc or any number of AVS, if you're worried.

No, you can't physically 'take it back' unless you live in China, but why would you need to? It comes with a warranty and you also have to specifically authorise AliExpress to release funds to the seller via AliPay, so if it turns up and it's not working, then you simply request a refund as AliExpress are holding the money, not the seller. It's also MUCH better built that the SU7, there aren't known problems with them (apart from the speaker / video orientation software bug which is easy to correct) and there's a huge amount of software / ROM support from the developer.

SU7 is lower tier phone. If you prefer to pay more for a lower tier phone, then that's up to you.

looks like this expired. £115 now.

Can't say I've used the camera at all.
Everything else is fine and you can update it to Nougat now.

It is sealed as in you have to take the back off by (remove sim and memord card holders first!) using edge of credit card to make gap and then remove with card/finger. Once back removed lift off battery from bottom - its just stuck to phone. Then disconnect cable - fit new one that you will have ordered from UK for under £15 - not China as not here 4 weeks later! Sure your screen wasn't dirty re your problem or battery partly going - mine made phone curve on rear then flash stopped working.

Okay thanks appreciate your info will certainly pass it onto dad who has also got the ultra 6, fortunately for him his seems to be so far trouble free ! mine was definitely faulty , as I say first went back early on and the replacement started playing up after 9 months, have read a good few folk experiencing similiar keypad problems, in the end there was certain letters that would just not be recognised making texting etc somewhat difficult !

must say amazon have been totally amazing with there customer service on both occasions off returning the phones, full refund within 24 hours off raising a dispute.. impressed.

again thou not sure what to try next as this sort off price range ?!

the price is now £125.99 !!!

expire this !

Wow this is great, really loves this one
