Vodafone UK launches the entry-level 4G Smart Speed for £50

Vodafone has just launched the Smart Speed smartphone, a 4G capable handset aimed squarely at the budget-conscious consumer. The 4.5-inch Smart Speed runs Android 5.1 Lollipop and will retail for £50 on Pay As You Go. 

The Smart Speed carries the level of specification you might expect for a handset costing just £50, the details of which are below.

Specifications:

• Android 5.1 Lollipop
• 4.5-Inch LCD with 854 x 480 resolution (FWVGA)
• Quad-core MediaTek MTK6735 processor clocked at 1GHz
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB Internal storage
• MicroSD card support (up to 32GB)
• 5MP Rear camera with flash and HDR+
• 2MP front camera
• 4G (LTE-CAT4)/ GSM/ EDGE/3G/HSPA+
• WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
• Bluetooth 4.0 / A2DP/ GPS
• Battery: 1,780mAh
• 3.5mm Audio jack
• Dimensions: 132.2 x 65.1 x 9.99mm
• Weight: 146 grams

For £50 (plus a £10 top-up), the Smart Speed seems like a viable option for those of us either on limited budgets or possibly as a child’s or grandparent’s first smartphone. It isn’t going to take on the likes of the Moto G in terms of speed, but then, it isn’t designed to. What do you make of the Vodafone Smart Speed?
