What is the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6?
The Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is a seriously disruptive phone. It offers specs that might cost you £300 in a Samsung handset, but only costs £125. That’s without a contract, with no obligation beyond the phone being locked to Vodafone.

There’s the rub. If you don’t mind being on Vodafone, this is the highest-spec budget phone you can get without importing something from China. Something bearing a name no-one’s heard of from a retailer some people wouldn’t be too comfortable sharing their card details with.

Vodafone Smart Ultra 6: Screen
If you’re not interested in the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 just because it offers 4G at a reasonable price, it’s a fair bet that the screen has lured you here. This is the best screen we’ve seen in a £125 phone to date.

Where other phones at the price use 720p panels, this one is 1080p, meaning there’s no sense of sharpness compromise despite the display’s large 5.5-inch size. It’s big, it’s sharp and its colours are pretty good too.

Given the price, the hardware running the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is quite fantastic too. It has the Snapdragon 615 processor and 2GB RAM. While the Snapdragon 615 is a mid-range processor, it might be more realistic to view it as a Snapdragon 410 upscaled to suit the greater needs of a 1080p (rather than 720p) phone.

It has eight Cortex-A53 cores, four clocked at 1.5GHz, and another four at 1.0GHz. Something like the 4G Motorola Moto G has four of this kind of core, at 1.2GHz. Higher-end Snapdragon chipsets like the 810 only use Cortex-A53s for their ‘low power’ cores, letting you the sort of performance to expect.

The Snapdragon 615 is also a 28nm process chipset. We don’t want to blind you with numbers, but this means it’s a lot less efficient architecture-wise than something like the Samsung Galaxy S6, which has a more efficient 14nm architecture. The Snapdragon 615 is up to date in some respects, such as being 64-bit, but slightly behind in some ways that are arguably more important.

This sort-of humble approach pays off, because aside from a few little glitchy moments the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6’s performance is very strong. During testing we did come across a few things that appear to be flat-out bugs: it took us a while just to get through the initial setup wizard. But we were using the phone before it was even fully announced for the UK, let alone released.

There’s no annoying consistent keyboard lag, no consistent long loading pauses and no endemic navigation lag. So while there are a few bugs left to squish, general performance is sound.
