The Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 has been a very useful and reliable phone for me. The screen is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, and there aren't too many cases that are made for it, but those are my only real grievances. For the price you get a very usable phone, and it has lots of good features as well, but that will take me too long to go into. For the price range this is one of the better phones in my opinion. Vodafone hit the sweet spot here.

Luan Cullinane, 04 Apr 2017This phone is extremely slow with some apps not functioning... moreJust got this phone and have been back to the Vodafone shop. It continuously restarts in the middle of doing things, worst time when answering the phone. All they did was remove some of the apps. Paid €160 and fuming with Vodafone. Don't buy this phone

Hi I took my vf700 smart phone in to a shop. Due to the glass broken.
I've been told I've got to take it back to Vodafone ?
As no one can do it.
Is that right.

Rubbish phone , less than 9gb usable out of 16gb, dunno where the rest of the memory is , plus out of the 9.7ish usable space over 3gb is taken up by system sw . regularly hangs , is unresponsive, loses my details and I have to set up apps from scratch....installed high quality fast extra storage and the phone can't seem to access it efficiently, all apps on the SD card run really slow and hang. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE !!!!

Oh dear me...part of Smart Ultra (6) touch screen failed after 10 months, preventing part of the keyboard working. Took it to Vodafone for repair, who examined the externals very closely and found NO damage (I always kept in a case covering back and front of phone) before sending for repair. Vodafone now tell me the fix is chargeable (£70+) despite still being well within warranty. This phone is built to a price, as are it's successors (Smart Ultra 7 and on). I wouldn't choose this phone or it's successors if I was buying again...specs good, great when it's working, but simply not robust enough for my real world use. My experience of Vodafone after sales service is worse than disappointing... A 4* phone, with Vodafone after sales customer service more like an abdication than a service

This phone was fine for 6 months, now it is a nightmare. I had to have it repaired by vodafone, leaving me without a phone for a fortnight. It came back and was great again for about a month, but it has started malfunctioning again. It overheats, turns itself off and the battery lasts no time. I have factory reset and this does nothing to stop the continual crashes. Avoid this phone at all costs.

The phone has a lot of performance issues, very slow if you have added SD card. Absolutely hopeless screen brightness and very poor 4G reception. Very little Android updates and lot of technical snags.

For the first month or so, this phone was amazing.....but as time went on, problems began to rear their ugly heads in day to day use. Here are just SOME of the many issues I have discovered:
-The phone doesn't even have Google Now On Tap support, even though the Android version "claims" it's running "6.0 Marshmallow".
-The phone dies at 30-50% battery sometimes.
-The phone restarts during the middle of tasks, like phone calls or just flicking through your home screen.
-The phone's CPU regularly overheats, up to temperatures like 70-80°C.
-The phone's touch screen becomes unresponsive at random intervals of use throughout the day.

I got one on a Vodacom SA contract. I can honestly say I love my phone; it's fast, the display is beautiful, responds very well to the touch and visibility is good in sunlight, albeit not great. I also haven't encountered an app I can't run, except the Samsung exclusive Resident Evil 4. It charges quite quickly and has decent battery life for the specs. BUT.
I'm very gentle with phones, hence my device still looks as pristine as it did when I got it 2 months ago. However, for some bizarre reason the ringer stopped working. I discovered this when I overslept due to my alarm not waking me up! The phone hasn't been dropped or anything more violent than putting it down on a table. If I tap it in the speaker area while playing music it actually makes sounds, so I think it's a loose connection. I just don't like having a brand new phone I have to use headphones on just to hear the sound on a video clip I got over Whatsapp.
The biggest issue here is that Vodacom wants to send it away to be repaired, which leaves me stranded without a phone for about 3 weeks. Which is NOT ideal at all. And if I take it to a local repair shop, my CONTRACT phone's warranty is void. So I'm in the middle of a predicament.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is that it's a nice phone for the price, but don't expect Samsung or Blackberry build quality, or classic Nokia reliability. It just isn't there. If you need a reliable phone that can take a punishment, rather go with something you can actually research on the Web before buying it. If you need a portable media player and Android gaming device with a full-HD screen and don't care about the actual purpose of a phone (making and receiving calls...), go ahead and get one.
One last minus is that due to its relative obscurity, rooting it is a mission. I wanted to try but after some research I decided against it, as I didn't want to void my warranty AND run the risk to brick my phone at the same time.
Here is my verdict for the Vodafone/Vodacom Smart Ultra 7:
Display: 8/10
Build Quality: 5/10
Sound: 6/10 (if it works)
Performance: 8/10

Its been almost 6 months since I am using smart ultra 7. Very good phone for the price. I mainly use it for browsing internet, social media and reading emails. So far no problems. Sound is not that great but using headphones solves the problem. I have added SD card for the extra memory.
