The Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 Thread (Network Unlockable) - - - - -

As StereoSoind said in the Smart Ultra 6 thread, Vodafone Turkey have the Smart Ultra 7 on their website, so I thought it deserved a new thread.

I dont think so. No mention of it on their e-guide (with the help of google translate)

EDIT: Its just a home button. (I read their FAQ with pictures)

Mediatek chip is a bit of a downgrade from the 6 eh?

The only real additions are that it's a better looking phone, quick charge and the latest Android software

Hopefully it'll be unlockable like the Smart Ultra 6

There is also a Smart pro 7 with a quad HD amoled screen and 3gb ram which is pretty high end, I wonder will it be sold here also along with the ultra 7?

The ultra 7 does seem a small upgrade over the 6 but still a much better looking design. That octacore mediatek processor is running at 1.8ghz so it would be an upgrade over the 6 in terms of performance surely.

I hope so! I hope its unlockable too!

shame the new smart Ultra 7 has MTK chip in it now - never been a fan in the past especially on the GPS satellite find part - still looks good though.

I like the camera placement on this new SU7 .. i keep covering the on on my SU6 with my finger when taking photos sometimes

Andy From Sligo

is that a hardware home button i see at the bottom of the screen? - looks like it. - I wonder if it lights up as notification LED same as on SU6? - if it does it be cool if it was multicolored light this time. ... or maybe they have shifted the notification LED to top of phone maybe?

StereoSound

MTK are not too had, I wouldn't panic about it as the 615 in the Ultra 6 was fine but no beast either. My ultra 6 throttled a lot under load so I only use it now as a spare phone really.

Yes, its the home button according to the faq/manual. You can use Google translate on the turkish site and go into the manual/faq.

Andy From Sligo

looks like its got a non-slip back on it - thats a plus!

The Smart Ultra 7 looks like its out on the July 1st in Turkey and also the Smart Pro 7 (as shown in a pic posted by Boardsie Detective Stormington in the Smart Pro 7 thread)

Google tells me "Temmuz" is July

Id be curious to go into Vodafone to see the build quality just to compare it to what the ultra 6 was like.

Not all of Vodafone's phones afaik. Cant remember the other brand off the top off my head though... I think maybe Alcatel or some other brand like that

deadanonymau5

The Smart Ultra 7 is made by Alcatel...so probably not unlockable

If that's true then they dont want a repeat of what a lot of others done including myself did, straight to eBay for a 2 snots unlock code lol.
I unlocked my ultra 6 before I even took it out of the box. Had the eBay seller at hand before I Walked into the store and did it over a cup of coffee in Costa.

Smart Platinum is a much higher end model. Ultra 7 is the successor to the Ultra 6 and a minor upgrade to it if any at all.

I played with a demo model of the ultra 7 today.....Not bad at all. Nice looking phone. Not jittery navigating around it. Looks like a OnePlus 2 at the front, but the back is a cheapy feeling silver plastic material. For 199 it's ok BUT do be aware the moto G4 is being launched in the argos for 207 and it's a lot more premium so you do the math on that one...



Moto G4 is unlocked to:rolleyes:

fergiesfolly

Has anyone seen a decent review of this phone or bought one themselves.
Wouldn't pay €400 for the platinum but this seems like a reasonable alternative

Nowso

the back is flimsy - a decent cover will fix that

faster than the su6 at processing

takes a nano sim which can be inserted by tacking off the back cover

most of the bloatware is easily uninstalled

navigates well

only first impressions so far

Andy From Sligo

oh no, dont say its made by Alcatel - is it really! , ZTE (as in SU6)as a handset manufacturer much much better

Nowso

New software update installed . must be to fix some bugs in the system

Going by this response it must be hard to type :pac:

Nowso

was in a bit of a rush when typing this morning

the Radio app could be a bit better is the only real down so far using the new software upgrade

PAndroid

It doesn't seem to be a huge upgrade no more than the prime 7 which is if anything a down grade apart from the ease to unlock it prime 6 which I'm using now is a nightmare. I had the ultra 6 and loved it but the build quality didn't do it for me and swapped it for a iPhone s5 which I sold and am now using the dreaded prime 6.

Chinese made phones look the part and that's probably my next step with a ulefone future

Im waiting on a UMI Rome X 3g phone for €58eur from china (or europe warehouse hopefully) lol - I dont have and dont reckon i will ever have a 4G plan.

if it lives up to specs, its supposed to have a pretty good 13mp (true i think, not interpolated) sony camera on the rear and pretty good screen and battery standby.

cup of tea

Has anyone been able to unlock this? Dont see unlock codes on Ebay. Presumably unlock codes for the SU6 won't work?

Its made by Alcatel, not Zte like the Ultra 6 was. So it probably will only be unlocked by VF if you spend over €XXX in credit.

Balls, told my mate to get the SU6 but they only had the 7 and he was planning on unlocking to three. Not much he can do no?
