Vodafone Smart 4 mini - User Reviews

  • Had this phone for 2 years. Passed down previous owner for about 3-4 years. Super reliable survived a couple of bumps. The battery sucks. It flickers then shuts down. If you turn it on and off for a bit it says you have around 30+ %. 8/10

  • The camera is absolutely rubbish for a 2014 Android phone!

  • Do you -still- have it? and are you in europe?

  • Have had the smart4turbo (&tab) and always rooted them. This was similar, easy with Kingo apk, all bloatware & languages & stuff off. Handy little mini phone, good for work / check weather etc.

  • I want LCD display

  • ive got a spare battery if still needed :)

  • ive got spare parts for a Vodafone 785 screen circuit board and slightly used battery

  • where do i get a vodafone vf685 battery mine just died

  • the vodafone smart mini 4 mobile phone is a-ZTE v785-

  • So what is the manufacturer of the phone? All I know is, it's Alcatel but I'm not sure.

  • I had the same problem ,until I did a hard reset, now it is updated and even better!

  • Not bad but I can't update it...

  • I've been using this iphone for 2 years now so here are some things i'd like to write: For daily use as a iphone it's just fine : nice quality calls, good use of messaging apps like viber, messenger , whatsapp. Very durable also. On the downside it's the camera which is the worst simply, design is really bad and it's really thick.After 2 years the battery with 2-3 hours of wifi, browsing and youtube doesn't last more than one day. So it's basically a good phone for some kid or adults that dont have many expectations and their main purpose is calls and communication via messaging but without photos.

  • with Vodafone it your phones over 9 months old you can use their free unlock service if it's not then it will cost around $30 to unlock it

  • Hi, I bought one of these 2 years ago, did not use it for most of the time but have downloaded the manual from internet which is fine - contacts are under the People icon - not sure whether this is your problem or not sorry if I have got the wrong end of the stick about your problem - from a thick person!

  • this phone is the worst I ever had, I cannot begin to list the defects but the biggest pain is the touch sensitive keyboard, I HATE THIS PIECE OF CRAP

  • my phone says that it's sim slot is permanently locked if there any solution for it

  • Bought the phone 4 days ago and I still don't find MY CONTACTS anywhere on the phone. So I cannot add contacts I had to use an old phone and save my contacts on it to see them on this phone and I can not delete any contacts. Not a very good phone.

  • Just got this phone as a replacement while my other phone is in repair, and I must say this is the worst phone I have ever used. All you can see is glare in sunlight, camera quality is worse than my Nokia N73 and doesn't even have autofocus or flash and the battery runs dry so quickly just from making calls.

  • My phone since yesterday not working totally, I could not open it has been collapsed

  • Excellentyes

  • Same happens to me !!!

  • I can't find my contacts from fone or even my sim

  • Kitty Kat software is bad you can't download songs or videos

  • You should list its upgradable to 4.4.2 KitKat by checking for updates.

  • How do you add new contacts?

  • The phone can be upgraded to KitKat

  • I find the Phone is very good It was at a good price and it do's every thing I want. 9/10

  • Yes the phone is bad the phone is up to date

  • Why can't I download songs and videos on my Vodafone smart 4 mini before I can bad now I can't what's wrong

  • I have it right now and wouldn't recommend it. Try the moto e instead

  • I have a VF685 but how do I download apps coz it's been telling me "connection to the server failed?

  • Hi guys ! I wanna buy this phone . Is it good cause i need to buy this phone i don't have a lot of money and i think this is good , It supports the most of apps like facebook , viber , skype etc. Guys if is possible here reply those people who have this phone . Thank you :)

  • and it video recording is 720p not 480p

  • it has android 4.4.2 not 4.2.2

  • I have had two versions of this phone, both faulty. The first one was replaced under warranty after a year. It had various faults brought to light when I tried to put in a larger SD card. The replacement was DOA. It would not produce any sound at all. Wouldn't have another one.

  • i recently purchased this phone in carphone warehouse for 45 euro for my grandmother. She is pleased but she said she finds the processor to be lacking and the screen to be slightly too small.

  • My Vodafone 4 min loading full time without opening p/se help me what can I do fo open.

  • Maximum resolution for video recording is not 480p but 720p. By the way, this phone is now upgradable to android 4.4.2 via fota and that version improves its performance.

  • do the vodafone 4 mini support whatsapp?

  • Return it, whence it came.

  • the sreen was just bloank filled with ink all of a sudden and does not work

  • Can GTA vice city play on this phone.

  • Having come from a Blackberry, I've never been happier than a phone than I am with this. It's not really all that fancy (certainly won't hold a candle to IPhones and Galaxies and the like though). The camera's not the worst I've ever had, the phone is very easily usable. My only complaint is that sometimes its a little slow and I have to clear a lot of phone storage most times I want to install an app. There was one time when the phone was automatically opening an MMI Test app that was very intrusive. A factory reset fixed it which wasn't as bad a move as I thought because Google restored all my apps and contacts and such so no loss anyway.

  • This is the biggest rubbish ever made. Please people don't buy it. you will be sorry like me.

  • Its has a fake battery

  • I need a phone which made me Google about "vodafone smart 4" and according to this plenty comments, really made me changed my mind, so what about "Vodacom smart kicka"? Actually i don't need a phone that gonna bring me problems.

  • Just press the power and the volume key at the same time and boom u have a snapahoot

  • Thez this thing that kips on appearing on my screen and it irritates me it say Alcatel Mobile Phone Yaris-4VF MMITEST SWN:2AE9-0 l hv tried gettinv rid of it but l cant csn anyone help

  • It Works Fine no issues have it about 9weeks but i do recomend u to get a case for the phone

  • hi all of yo. yo now my name. i have a problem with my vodafone it has shut down and i don't now how to figs it.

  • hi I have got a flap case cover , when the screen is locked and in my pocket , it jumps to google and vibrates.what could cause this

  • Right finally got it sorted using the advice from Hrym on Vodafone forums (thank you Hrym). First I backed up everything I wanted to keep to my PC. I unmounted and removed the SD card (turn phone off to remove SD card) and then restarted the phone. I followed this by doing a factory reset. I went through setting the phone up again (I think there was an option to download the backup saved on google drive, I selected yes, which was a mistake, as I will explain), when this was all done I tried the update again, it downloaded and done the "Software is checking" scenario again which failed with the "Data Error, Please try again" message (which is obvious to me now, as the downloaded backup from google drive had put the phone back to where it was before the factory reset)....Start Again!!!!! As phone has very little on it, I turned off the backup to google drive (which also wipes the backup saved there), done another factory reset and started again, this time there was no option to download the backup from google drive(obviously), I finished, the setup process then tried the "Software Update" again (it still took a good while to download) but when it finished downloading, it went straight to "software is checking" and low and behold the phone rebooted and done the update (YEEEEHAAAA), I went through the phone setup process again, put the SD card back in and downloaded the apps and games that my son had on it before the update. All is good and everything runs fine, (it seems a little faster now but that could be my imagination). There may be a better way (one that doesnt lose all the settings and I'm sure there is someone on here who would know how), but this worked for me. I hope it helps

  • I have had the exact same problem but have tried at least 10 times and the update 240HEG1 is 100MB on mine, the first few times it went as far as rebooting only to tell me the update zip could not be found, so I unmounted the SD card and tried again, now it just gives me the same error as you. I would be interesting to see if anyone has managed to download this update

  • I have a Smart 4 Mini and it's been working well. Recently it's been prompting me to upgrade the phone software as an upgrade is available. I have downloaded the upgrade 3 times and the upgrade failed at different points of the download - 99%, 100% & 98% - "Data error. Please try again". Has anyone been successful in upgrading from 120 HJG1 to 240 HJG1??? Every download is 92.1mb of wasted data. Are there settings I should change? I've disabled the anti-virus & set to instal non-Play Store programs but still it fails. THANK YOU for your response.

Imagine my surprise when Vodaphone come back and say they want £55 to repair because they say in not warranted. A new one only costs £40 so the hell would anybody have it repaired. Anyway its in warranty so they should fix it. Vodafone, what crap after sales service.

  • Can you please suggest me what cellphone should I buy, this smartphone or HTC One V ?

  • Must use mp3 only

  • I have this phone my problem is I cant download whatsapp. what can I do

  • This friend of mine, he has a 'Vodafone Smart 4 Mini' and I absolutely love that phone! It's so fast (Good dual core 1.3 GHz processor), it has a GPS, it is great! I was almost buying it but I wanted an internal camera (Available on Vodafone Smart 4 - didn't have this one because to have it unlocked it would have cost me about �125 and I got a 'Samsung Galaxy S Duos II' for only �103,99 with pretty much the same pros as the 'normal version' of 'Vodafone Smart 4' - yes, I'm talking about the two camaras and the dual core - also it is a dual SIM and that's why I ended up buying that one). This phone is very powerful and it is the right choice if we need a Single SIM very fast mobile phone. In Portugal it is being sold at the price of �59,90 - �10 less than the worse $**t Samsung has ever made - Samsung Galaxy Star - and at the same price as the Samsung Galaxy Pocket, another single core mobile phone.

  • Yes

  • Yes

  • Yes BBM works on this phone... Once a phone is Android... Its takes everything expecially if it has a wide screen 4rm 3inch and its Andriod V4 and upwards so this is V4.2.2(JellyBean)

  • My camera doesn't work and keep saying cannot connect camera. What myt be the problem.

  • My camera doesn't work and keep saying cannot connect camera. What myt be the problem.

  • In general I'm really enjoying owning this phone. I only have a 2gb micro-SD card for storage so I can't keep much on it. Although the page says it has 4gb internal storage, mine only has 2gb. This means that fairly often I'm not able to install new apps because of a lack of space. Lately though, I've been getting a feature test coming up a lot something like MMITest or something. While annoying, I can just close this as it is built-in app (can't seem to find it anywhere though). Decent call quality and good internet speeds for twitter, facebook and other apps when off wifi. Would highly recommend

  • Can you update from Jelly Bean to Kit Kat on this phone

Furthermore I would like to know which phone is better the smart 4 mini or the smart kicka. I'm in Pmb(south Africa). There's a special going on for both: Smart 4 mini: R400 prepaid from vodacom chat Smart kicka: R 500 prepaid from makro. Plz give some advice on which to buy Thanks

  • Yes! Everything including BBM, Picmix, Wechat and Instagram.

  • Nope! Maybe there is a way of setting them to light up, but on my phone the do not light up at all.

  • It does allow whatsapp right???

  • Do those 3 buttons light up at night or when you touch them?

  • I was on my way to fix my previous phone when I saw the Vodafone Smart 4 mini on display. After evaluating the specs, I immediately bought it. I mean it's fast, stylish and super cool for a so called: "budget phone". This is the best thing I've bought this year.

  • Excellent quality... Go and get it now!!!

  • Excellent quality... Go and get it now!!!

  • No memory card you have to buy it.

  • Why does my smart 4 mini only have 2gb internal memory?

  • hot or not?

  • Menu keys do hot light up.

  • they all run fine!

  • brilliant phone for £40 plays games my s2 couldnt manage.

  • does this phone comes with a memory card.

  • Has anyone here gamed on this phone? How to games such as despicible me: Minion rush,Minecraft and so on run? Thanks in advance.

  • does the back,menu and option touch buttons light up?

  • z not true mine does everything I enjoy every single sec using it

  • decent graphics( Adreno 200)and snappy dualcore chipset, cam or snapshots with daylight only. 700kh/sec in simple g miner. excellent value, easy to root ( root genius) and ebay had the unlocking code for 1GBP...

  • Hi guys ima buy ths fone soon just want to know from anyone who has it: how is the sound quality when you take a video? Is it scratchy or does the video's sound have decent quality

  • It does allow you to download pictures. It is value for money since it has the Android Jelly Bean version which most new phones carry except for the very high end. But not much changed from Jelly Bean to Kit Kat

  • Very nice phone.Extremely good value for money.Excellent reception in remote areas,fast enough.Got everything you need.

  • Hi is it true that vodafone smart 4 mini cannot download pictures and music.

  • Hey man, Im going to buy this phone too, I am in Cape Town tho, could you find any cases for this

  • I purchased this phone yesterday. For a entry level smartphone it is a good buy. It does not have flash but that's no big issue for people who just prefer daylight shooting. This phone can download 1 megabyte data in 3 seconds which I counted. It does have a boxy design but so does a Iphone. Box designed phones have a more slick look than those rounded edge phones (just my opinion). I paid R899.00 in Durban (South Africa). A good buy and it has android so no biggy. you can still get your usual apps and games.

  • mmm have smart 4 mini what a good phone got bbm,pic mix, evrything go n buy it

  • why apear a error when i download games?in the error write :cant install the application please tell me what can i do?

  • actually you can,mine works perfectly

  • u can't be serious, u are unable to download them? lol

  • I bought this phone yesterday 20140721 hoping it had everything it doesn't even have WhatsApp and it is not even allowing me to download the application no call barring I am taking it back tomorrow.

  • I really thought this fone was a blessing but I had it for 9 days before I realised that it couldn't save pictures on net and couldn't share music. Now I took it back to vodacom for 15 days service. If you like loud music then don't dare buy it because its settings are very low. The highest level blast is embarassing. But BBM is lovely, whatsapp, twitter. & google maps are sweat. Camera is more like 2mp not 3.2mp

  • Does this use the same battery as the previous vodafone mini?

  • Unfortunately there is no built in Flash on this phone

  • Does this phone have a camera flash?

  • i enjoy each and every moment using this phone, i spend a lot of time using pic frames and bbm.

  • Hi Nozy I'm also from SA, Joburg. I desperately need this phone but I'm shocked now after reading this. Does it have bbm & are the pictures better though than that of a blackberry? Email me [email protected]

  • I've had the mini 4 for only 3 weeks but it's already having battery issues. I mostly use my phone for calls, chat (email and whatsapp), the random occasional web search and infrequently gps but I now have to keep my phone on the charger for 16 out of 24 hours. For this reason, DO NOT buy this phone!

  • yes it can take any other network sim

  • How is the maximum battery life time???? Help me, I want to buy it soon, I can't wait.

  • Yes, but only if your data plan allows it.

  • Does it have a GPU?

  • Guy I need help. Is it possible to download 100mb/500mb/1GB using vodafone smart 4 mini? Please guy answer me. Thanks a lot.

  • Would you recommend this phone

  • is it better than vodafone smart 3??

  • Anyone had downloaded large files like movies and documentary 25,50,100 mega byts and above with this phone?

  • Its a good fone for its value

  • In RSA all cell & smartphones shouldn't be locked to a particular network, by law. So, you'd be able to put in a Cell C, Telkom Mobile, or MTN SIM.

  • Mini SIM

  • The Vodafone Smart 4 MIni is a very good model. Works very nice. It has google play store so it can take whatsapp, bbm, facebook and more...for the price it is a great choice for your daily basics.

  • can i use another sim card on it besides that of vodacom?

  • it doesn`t have a secondary camera...

  • I ran bbm on my Android, and its older and slower than this one. So I believe it will.

  • does it have front cameras?

  • Hello.... It's Android.

  • can i get bbm?

  • :D

  • alcatel or zte?

  • Alcatel

  • Hi Which manufacturer Makes this handset ? please

  • It does have WhatsApp. Must download via wifi.

  • Yes it has it all

  • Yes you can.

  • can you watch you tube directly from the net on this phone?

  • I would like to purchase this phone but I would like to know if this phone suppouts BBM and WhatsApp ? And does it have play store

  • Can this phone have bb and watchapp

  • Just bought the phone. Pretty decent specs for the price. It takes a normal sim though, not a micro-sim as posted above.

  • lol i still have it all i do with it is check the time ;)

  • I still remember my old Vodafone 858...

  • Just bought this phone as a spare phone and to play around with Android considering I only have Apple devices. It is a pretty decent phone considering how cheap it is. Feels slow at times but overall it is very usable. Worth the buy if you want a cheap Android phone that is decent.

  • smart 4 mini is way better than smart 3 mini

  • In South Africa the price is about �6 x 24 months on contract, with airtime and data chucked in. Great deal for great device. Well done vf.

  • which is better vf smart 4 mini or vf smart 3 cause the only difference I see is just camera?

  • Very fast and very good price (70 Euro). Enjoy !!!

  • not bad for £50 camera is good for low pixels scorez more than my s2 on benchmark tests a very not bad phone only problem is it has to be one of the most slippy phones i have owned! so hold it tight :-)

  • Vodafone Smart 4G (4,5inch, 1gb ram, 8gb flash, 8mp camera with led, and 4g :D)

  • just got it..for free at 2years plan, 13euro/month (i think its free for plans starting at 10e/month)..i bought it because its free, i use a nokia 520 and got this one for a secondary phone..it looks nice, i got the white one..now i dont have time for a review, i will return in a week with an opinion..btw, in romania it cost 60E with no contract (prepaid) and it comes for free for 2year contract starting from 10e/month (the cheapest dualcore with 4inch screen on market, better that samsung galaxy young). Happy Easter

  • In Czech Republic its on sale for around 70� incl. 10� prepaid credit (and the phones are Unlocked in our country, even as prepaid sets). For that money its really not bad. I understand the strategy for the cheap compromise, so it has minimum RAM to run with no extras. But what would one expect for 60� right? ;-)

  • I think a phone of this spec should av 1 gigbyte ram and flash. Id pay the little extra for that. Come on vodafone stop dragging ya feet.

  • well its good enough that in 60 eur company giving 4 inch phone with ppi 233 & 512 ram is not so bad with 4gb internal storage bt please as it is launching can anybody tell me that 3.5 cam is real or just name only........Pls Give response

  • Greece have 80� so it's ok

  • Its ok if 512 mb ram but it atleast should have had an flash for back camera

  • Would be amazing with 1 gig of ram
