Have you got a sewing needle or pin or something to push into the hole to pop it out?

If you just want to access your file system then you will need to enable the MTP setting in Settings / Storage. Click on the three dots in the top right to bring up the USB settings and

enable MTP.

I have looked for the Android / ADB drivers on both the Vodafone site and ZTE's site without luck.

It took me a while to get the SD card slot open. I found it raised just slightly and I was able to pry it open from there.

So tell me what you think are the specs of the various models.

they're not the same - different resolution, different weight, and they look different:

Got my internet on Tescomobile setup today but it seems I have to have data roaming turned on for it to work? Says 'no data connectivity because you are abroad and Data roaming is disable' when I switch it off. Unlocked with the ebay link in OP.

Sweetie, why would you invest in a 4G phone on a 3G network? or have tescoes upgraded?

ha ha, ye got me. Well the main reason I upgraded from my moto g was screen size for browsing and netflix etc. I do a lot of both.
I was getting 3.5g / 'H' on my moto g and I'd be hopeful that we will get 4g sometime this year. Tbh the tesco deal I have is too good to leave.

Yes its a weird one that. If you are on tescomobile you have to turn 'data roaming' to get internet access. Same on my Motorola moto g.

Just to confirm its ok to do that - you don't somehow get charged extra on your bill.

Just be careful when you do actually travel abroad that you remember to turn it off

Hold both down for a few secs and see.

Working for me.

Skill Magill

Are you pressing them both simultaneously for 1 or 2 secs? Works for me too

rizzee

Try pressing the power button first then immediately press and hold volume down with it and it will take a screenshot. Works for me.

Just posted the review on the smart prime 6 and working on the ultra review now. Both phones are insanely impressive for the costs. I was blown away by what the prime 6 is offering for just 90 and then got the press release for the ultra.

Easily flagship specs from just last year. Kind of hard to justify a 400-500 euro device. Vodafone have done some magic here.

Did you try in a store or just online?

Which stores were out of stock?

Got in online from VFone, unlocked no probs everything works great. Can't believe the quality for the money, a match for the iPhone 6 plus really for a fraction of the price!

Actually really like the supplied charger too it is a really compact 1500 ma charger.

Only problem I have is adjsting my thumb to texting on the size of the screen.

I picked one up a couple of days ago from the Athlone store... They didn't even know they had them!

Brought it home & they had given me the wrong size sim, I was getting it unlocked anyway but it takes so long for Three to do sim upgrade transfers...

Also had problems with the SD card slot, it didn't fit flush to the fone & the SD card wasn't recognised!

I brought it back on Sunday & they changed the fone for a new one no problem, also gave me the nano sim!

Had to get the new fone unlocked but the guy only charged me half as I hadn't actually used the 1st code he'd sent me!

Still waiting for sim changeover from three... Turns out the divvy in the three shop gave me an old o2 nano sim instead of a three one... Will probably be days now before I'm actually using the thing by the time I get the right sim & then wait for them to change it over!

I've set the fone up & downloaded all my apps in the meantime & I am seriously impressed so far... Way better than my old s4 and a million times better than the motor g I only bought 3 weeks ago for 200 quid arghhhh (I can't stand it that's why I'm changing to the Ultra!)

I've ordered a case from Germany & tempered glass cover from Spain (both from eBay for ZTE Blade S6 plus) don't want to take a chance dropping it as though it seems to work great the build isn't anything special & I'd say pretty flimsy...
Lots of wallet-type covers on eBay if you search the Blade but you'll be waiting weeks maybe months from China or HK (from my experience)

I've had the phone a few days now and I'm really impressed. I changed from an iPhone 5 which means I have to get used to some small difference but my god the battery life being so much better than an iPhone is such a big thing for me. If youre using 4G on an iPhone you may as well just use a laptop because the battery was so bad.

Overall the phone just feels so polished. Screen resolution is excellent and the only thing I'd change physically is the location of the speaker on the device. I'd prefer it on the bottom instead of the back but that's a very minor drawback for what is undoubtedly a far superior device to the iPhone 5. I still can't believe that it's retailing at significantly less than half the price of the 5C.

A week on using this phone i've only charged it fully twice. 4G on continuously for 8-10 hours 5 of those nights (nightshift work) and Wifi whilst at home. Listening to music & radio, browsing the web and downloaded lots of apps. Only bug Is the notification light but i'm going to go in store and see what they can do. Waiting patiently for covers to come in post... The phone is unbelievable value for money
