Advice on Phone change

CyberDave

I currently have a Samsung S4 in a 24 month contract, which ends in October. I'm not upgrading, as I will be stuck in another 24 month contract, so thinking of buying this BLU Studio 6.0 LTE. The reason is, I can return to Pay As You Go and save money on bills. I generally use the phone for texting/messaging/web. Has anybody got one and if so what are their experiences? Thanks.

How much is it?

Can be got for around €200 delivered off the net.

You might get a few answers in the Chinese Android Phone thread, fairly certain I recall someone buying a BLU Brand a few weeks ago

Sound. Will try moving this.

Similar spec to the Vodafone smart ultra 6 which is 169.99 + €4 for unlock on eBay.

Bought one the other day and am very impressed with it so far.

No 4G on the Ultra 6, it is a serious spec for the price though.

The ultra 6 does have 4G.

Comparison between the Blu and the phone the Ultra 6 is based on, the ZTE Blade S6 Plus

Again, gsmarena shows no 4g[LTE] for the Smart Ultra 6.

Is this true, or is gsmarena wrong?

Also, it says quad core CPU, whereas the VF spec is octo-core.

Amazon always charge VAT, and at the higher Irish rate, when sending stuff to Ireland.

Of course, there is no Import Duty from another EU State.

It's listed as 4G on Vodafones site, so I'd say it is. I too read it off GSM Arena

Ah no, I think it is OK, reading this review, from Trusted Reviews....

I don't think gsmarena has the correct specs for this VF model.
