Coolsmartphone | Leigh Geary

A mid-to-upper tier smartphone which actually had my friends and colleagues believing it was a top-end phone. Good spec, good price, a very decent smartphone all-round.

MobileTechTalk | Chris Wallace

The Smart Ultra 7 just left me feeling a little underwhelmed. Its not a bad phone, it's just that it doesn't offer enough to be an Ultra version when a Prime exists.

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

The Vodafone Smart ultra 7 is one of the best budget handsets in the market right now and if it is price that drives your buying decision as well brand trust, I would strongly recommend this handset.

Trusted Reviews | Joe Roberts

Solid performance, close to stock Android, and – best of all – cheap; the Smart Ultra 7 is easily one of the best budget smartphones available right now.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

Combined with its clean software, powerful processor and long-lasting battery, the Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 is easily one of the best phones under its price range. There simply aren't many phones on the market at this price point with the same feature list, especially not with a large 5.5-inch Full HD resolution display.

TechRadar | Jon Mundy

Vodafone has created another keenly priced smartphone that punches above its weight, but the Smart Ultra 7 launches into an increasingly competitive crowd.... It's well-built, if a little ugly, and it performs well in most scenarios. With this power, combined with 4G connectivity and a large and sharp display, the Smart Ultra 7 is great for portable media consumption on a budget.

Recombu | Alex Todd

Clean software and an attractive, (albeit plastic) design don't save the Ultra 7 from feeling a little underpowered out the gate. It doesn't feel like all that much of an upgrade, particularly down to the slow hardware elements

V3 | Matt Farrington-Smith

... the Smart Ultra 7 doesn't excel at anything in particular. Performance is OK for a phone of its class, but the display, camera and build let the side down.

The Inquirer | Matt Farrington-Smith

A lack of truly standout features means the follow-up to the popular Smart Ultra 6 comes up short

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.
