The Smart Ultra 6 offers seriously impressive value for money. At this price, the Smart Ultra 6 is a bargain and a half.

Vodafone has a long history of producing its own-brand phones that don't cost much but give a lot, and the Smart Ultra 6 takes this to the next level. With a 5.5 inch 1080p display, 8-core processor, good camera and massive battery, this phone doesn't have any weaknesses. It hugely over-delivers for the price.

The Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is a phone of such great value that you'll wish it wasn't only available from Vodafone... If you're looking for an affordable phone with a sharp screen, decent battery life and a camera that, with a bit of effort, can take very good shots do make the Smart Ultra 6 one of the very best low-cost phones around.

With so many practical features, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is unbelievably good value for its price. ....with its larger, higher resolution screen and superior camera. It's a real steal on Pay-As-You-Go

Vodafone are not new to the smartphone market, they have had several phones and tablets out in the market for some time now. However, they have gotten ZTE to manufacture the Smart Ultra 6 for them this time and packed it full of fabulous features at a budget-busting price point that consumers will find very hard to resist.

The Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is worth its price tag without a doubt. It's one of the best experiences we've had with a budget smartphone, and nothing about this phone suggests that it's budget apart from its price tag.

Affordable smartphones usually involve a compromise in some form or another but aside from an uninspiring design, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 delivers a premium flagship experience at a fraction of the cost and shows that a good smartphone experience can be affordable for all.

If I'm honest the specs of this phone are very decent considering the price-point. It's a quality device which will actually perform and there's a very good screen which will impress.

We couldn't find fault with the Smart ultra 6. Sure, it looks like a seven-year-old iPhone, but that really is the only flaw we could find with it. The screen is superb, the camera is responsive and takes fantastic photos, and its 4G capability makes internet browsing incredibly fast on Vodafone 4G.

Tested Technology | Chris Bidmead

You'd be hard-pressed, I think, to find a cheaper equivalent. In fact you might reasonably expect to pay twice the price Vodafone is asking for its latest Smart Ultra 6. It's a very good if unexciting large-screen Android phone that seems to be a snip at the buy-out price...

The Gadget Show

Let's face it, for this price, there's not much out there that's whole lot better than what Vodafone's peddling. While it does come with a few budget caveats, there's not a lot that's totally deal breaking about the Smart ultra 6, and if you're after a large phone that can handle much of what you throw at it, it's well worth looking at.

TechRadar | Sean Cameron

With a beautiful screen, great performance and excellent internet capabilities, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is a revelation for the price. Yet, dogged with a poor camera, average battery life and excessive bloatware, it isn't quite a perfect budget hero.

ITProPortal | Ian Barker

Yes there are some minor niggles, but if you want a big screen, 4G connectivity and decent performance there's not currently much else to match the Smart ultra 6 for this money.
