Vodafone Smart x9

CptMackey

Recently made bits of my s7 edge so I needed a phone to tie me over until I can upgrade . Saw this for 150 said I'd give it a go.

All I use my phone for is internet, YouTube and texts calls. I don't game on phones.
It's running Android . Very little bloat that I can see.
Runs smooth . Apps open relatively quick. Video play back is good quality.

Camera is decent but low light isn't the best. Not that I expected much from a phone of this price.
Has NFC which is a must for me with Google pay

The only major downside that I have noticed in my first week is the lack of fast charging. I loved that in my s7 and it's the only thing that could tempt me to change in a few months. That and it's locked to Vodafone(not sure how hard it would be to unlock)

Over all a great phone for the money that might see me skip getting a flagship for a long while

Ya just in-store. I'd imagine it's available online too

For 150 does that include credit

I've had one nearly 5 weeks now. Great phone, mentioned it on the Smart Ultra 6 Thread. I agree about the fast charging but I get about 1.5 days usage from mine and at the price you can't complain

I bought it as a temp phone until the S10 is out.

Move from another network (or get another sim) then go into Vodafone or online, you will get 60 euro off it at the moment. It's an absolute steal at that price, it was 40 off when I got it in January.

The SD450 is quite nippy and hasn't lagged with all my apps on it. Highly recommend it. - I'm selling mine for 75 euro if anyone is interested - As I said I just got it to tie me over until the S10 was announced. Have a cover and a glass protector included too. Receipt as well. PM if interested

Looks like a true successor to the Smart Ultra 6 from Vodafone a few years back. Decent processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and micro sd storage for all your other files. Sounds like a good shout at that money! Low end phones will do what 90% of people need with ease, they will run most apps without issue and give a smooth experience. Generally where they fall short is in the camera department, but a lot don't really mind.

I'm not sure. I have a bill so I didn't enquire when I bought it.
