What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Stuff | Andrew Williams

Its speed may be more bus than bullet train, but this is the best priced phone you'll find on the high street... One area where the Smart Prime 7 really punches above its weight is battery life - and that's going to be more important to many of the people this phone is aimed at than its speed when gaming.

Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne

The Smart Prime 7 on PAYG would still be my second choice handset for anyone looking for an ultra-cheap smartphone.... However, that's not to say the Prime 7 doesn't have its own attractions, as its superior display and slimline design are head and shoulders above its rival.

Recombu | Alex Todd

The Vodafone Smart Prime 7 isn't a perfect device, but the list of negatives is near enough nullified when you consider what it does offer for its impressively low price tag.

....It'll do 99% tasks you throw at it just fine. Just don't expect it to do multiples of them at the same time and you'll be fine.

Coolsmartphone | Dan

The days of needing to head to a big manufacturer for your latest new phone seems to be coming to an end thanks to some great network branded devices such as the Smart Prime 7.

TechRadar | Ian Morris

The Vodafone Smart Prime 7 is a good, cheap and capable phone with a very usable screen and enough power for most normal users. It's somewhat let down by its camera, but if you know that going in this phone won't disappoint.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

The biggest selling point is the price, and while the rest of the phone ticks a lot of boxes it doesn't set a new bar for budget phones... Yes, it's pretty slow at times and the camera shots are probably best used only on social media... It's a seriously affordable, clean Android device that isn't ugly and can get the job done.

IT PRO | Alan Lu

Unless you're on the tightest of budgets, we can't recommend the Vodafone Smart Prime 7 in good conscience. It might be good enough as a fallback phone or for field workers who primarily need a smartphone for voice and text with only occasional internet and app use.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
