Guest Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) £125 with no topup required, and £3-4 unlock codes from ebay work according to Hotukdeals. This is the best value phone you can buy in the UK right now by a long shot. Reminds me of the Orange San Francisco days. Internals are the same Pretty much a rebrand of the ZTE Blade 6 and a combination of the Blade 6 Plus, with some minor changes. The Vodafone has a 1080p screen, whereas the 6 and 6 Plus only have 720p screens. Other internals are exactly the same or negligible. Small outer design changes too. Check out the full differences between the 3 phones here: http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_blade_s6-6954.php http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_blade_s6_plus-7168.php http://www.gsmarena.com/vodafone_smart_ultra_6-7313.php Vodafone have gone with stock Android. Only negative is I really doubt they will update it beyond the current lollipop. http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/vodafone-smart-6-ultra-payg/sku86605-grey Grey/black available now and Silver/white will be available later.

Guest KonstaT Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Good news is ZTE has already released kernel source code for this device. http://download.ztedevice.com/uploadfiles/copyright/smartphones/source/VF-995N_Lollipop_Kernel(3.10.x).tar.gz Bad news is this device is certainly SIM locked to Vodafone and also very likely has locked bootloader like Blade S6. There's also couple of other carrier branded Blade S6 variants I'm aware of - Amazing X6 in Taiwan and Turkcell T60 in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trueno2k Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted on this forum, ever since I got my Galaxy S3 and now S5!.. Does this mean that there'll be no custom rom any time soon since it's got a locked bootloader?.. Edited June 26, 2015 by trueno2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest I am Legend Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I wish Vodafone Italy will sell it here in my country as well, but right now we got no news about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Get someone in the UK to buy you one and ship it out to you as a gift? I'm sure some people would be willing to do it for a small amount extra to cover costs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lpinho Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Just ordered my Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, it should arrive this week. Is it exactly the same as the ZTE Blade S6 Lux or Plus (buttons, sizes, camera, sizes, etc)? (ignore the dual sim feature) I would like to buy the screen protection made from tempered glass and I'm wondering if all the ZTE Blade S6 Plus accessories will fit perfectly in its Vodafone counter part. Thanks for all the help, L. Pinho Edited July 13, 2015 by lpinho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the help, L. Pinho Hi, sorry for replying to myself I found a side by side images, and the position of the buttons are different Even the sensor position on top is different.

Guest Frankish Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Such a shame there doesn't seem much community about this phone yet. Not much going on over on xda either. Can root with king root but no stock rom available for download in case we mess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
