This Summer (2017), Vodafone released its brand new series of smartphones, consisting of E8, N8 and V8. This thread is specifically for the V8 and to notify users of rooting availability and which custom ROMs exist.

Please do not hesitate on sharing root methods and working custom ROMs here and I will update the thread accordingly!

How does it compare to the Smart Ultra 6?

Some early reviews have it down as much slower than the Ultra 6 but that only got a Antutu benchmark score : 24990

It's a fast phone, and well worth £150. Screen is good...almost looks AMOLED, but not as good as the SU6...and battery is not bad. I've only had the phone a couple of days, but beware, I got an OTA update and it's scrapped double-tap to wake. The setting in Display has disappeared. Pity, it worked well and didn't seem to cause problems.

root should be possible as the img is available (I think)

Still a good phone which could be rooted.

What about cyanogenmod for ZTE V870? Could this work on V8? Has anyone tried this ?
