Vodafone Smart prime 7 - User Reviews

  • the phone is shit. it reboots on its own several times.

  • I have had this phone (Vodacom smartphone prime 7) for 13 months before experiencing a problem. Phone reboots about 6 times per day by itself. According to a few websites, this is a common problem on a number of phones from different companies. I cannot believe that there is no cure for this. Surely one of these companies must have investigated this problem and found a solution for this? If it is a battery problem, why did they not replace the batteries with another working version? I was unable to find a solution to the problem and found the Vodacom website not a very friendly site to visit with no workable solution to be found.

  • Its 720p video

  • The device itself was okay. The camera wasn't to bad, was snappy using the Internet, browsing, YouTube, Facebook. It handles games like Temple run 2 fine. You won't get much from the GPU. But, it took a small fall off the coffee table to ruin the screen. The LCD was fine and the phone was usable. Soon though it froze, I rebooted it and never came on again. I sent it in, repairing it would've cost prety much the same as the phone. So the built quality was poor. Hauwei should be making Vodafone again on the side. Not Alcatel. Specs wise it was great for the price. But the device would need a super tough cover. It doesn't take much to damage it. Rather pay a little more for the hauwei Y5 2017. Or the better built but weaker Nokia 3 if you are on a budget. Super cheap entry level phones aren't worth it. Around the Samsung J3 prime,hauwei Y5 2017,Nokia 3 price range is as low as you can go.

  • I have been using this device for nearly a year and the screen shows 2 burned areas, the camera is very faulty (i believe is the software) giving me black squares and missing colors on multiple pixel (front camera a total joke unless you are in a very good lighting condition). it has a way of overheating by doing simple task like browsing through web (sometimes even when watching locally stored media). Even though its an android the user interface is complicated and unbearable. My device came with 2 apps for calls and 2 for messages, and i needed to disable 2 otherwise i wold get every notification in double. Storage is so low that i am afraid i might run out of data even from updates. Its a pretty bad device and all i loaded to it is: whatsapp, viber and samsung health

  • Rubbish this device runs slow 8gb of storage what a joke! even for basic use it's no good

  • Been using this phone for 3 months, got some few tweaks enabled am a baby user, but still functions great, the battery omg...two days is rare but not when using this device

  • this phone beats most phones and if u dont believe me, get your bitch ass here and i will show you it is worth the money cause it is

  • this phone is dope if you just figure out the hidden stuff on it. it is the reason why vodacom exists. its better than the j1. go search online and you will see. pieces of shit

  • What's wrong with it?

  • Don't even. After less than 5 months having bought it, I regret it, hopefully you didn't buy it

  • This phone ils rubbish. Vodafone should remove it from their stores.

  • It has only 4 GB internal memory !

  • Hi guys. Does this phone have MirrorLink?

  • Seems impossible to create group message. Any ideas?

  • hey guys so i recently lost my samsung phone and i think i should go for this phone. i like it for the fact that it looks like an i phone 7 .. but looks can be deceiving so should i buy the phone or not ?

  • I've just bought this phone after my Samung S4 decided to cook itself to death. As there was no music player i loaded the app VLC. It scanned for my music on the SD card which contained my music files. No problem in playing music or videos. Also the app contains a equaliser which improves sound quality when a suitable type is selected.

  • Biggest load of rubbbish I have ever held in my hands. I demanded my money back after 2 weeks. It is so slow that it sometimes cant even answer calls! It cant save numbers for whatsapp, it hangs all the time, always runs out of space. It is simply unusable. Dont waste your time and money. If I could give it negative stars I would.

  • barely had this phone for a year and its freezing doesn't let me go on any of the apps should of expected this from a cheap phone. I liked it at first but now its just, basically unusable. Thought it was the best £75 I've ever spent but I was wrong it was the worst

  • Bought this phone 2 days ago after finally letting go of my Samsung S4. I would definitely recommend you check this phone out! Vodafone have some really nice handsets for a fraction of the price of bigger name brands like Apple and Samsung. The display is fantastic, unlike my s4 it does not heat up. Apps run smoothly even with Nova launcher, snapchat, drive, whatsapp, pixlr express, face book, twitter and the list goes on. I like the thickness of the device and it has a premium feel in the hand. Camera is fair but good with HDR enabled. The Smart Platinum is also a strong contender but quite a bit more expensive. Very impressed with the phone for the price and it has LTE.

  • When I get an incoming phone call the screen goes black and I have no way of taking the call. Otherwise the phone seems to do everything including messages send and receive ok. Help!

  • I bought this phone is just awesome and nice pics and the memory card can be used as internal storage and I like thickness of it is just amazing and the price is reasonable

  • I just bought this phpnr, def satisfied with it. Does not feel slow at all, though you may experience latency depending on the apps you use. The screen is also really nice. Excellent value, do recommend.

  • Very good phone. Great screen area and very thin. Would def recommend. I haven't had any problems with it at all except the fact that it doesn't have emojis/ emoticons. Otherwise great great phone. Had iPhone 4s previously and switched to smart prime 7- very glad I did its soooo much better. I dont understand why people don't like it? :)

  • I have learned to keep away from all phones being sold by Telecom providers. They put so much crapware on the phones plus limit its usage with their locking restrictions, that it is very hard to truly enjoy the phone. I low end smartphone offers better usability than these locked, restricted phones.

  • very slow phone!! bought it a few days ago and straight away noticed it taken a while to open apps etc like google maps takes about 10 seconds, and havent found a browser yet that works very well on this phone, I owned the prime 6 which was a lot better than this, I just hope they sort it with a update which there is but but this phone wont install it for some reason, if you buy one get the white as black one looks cheap

  • Looks decent cheap but slow, freezes constantly, network error with wifi and there's no issue with my wifi. It may be a budget phone but honestly don't buy it it's not worth the stress mine just sits in the draw only used for a week.

  • The worst phone i ve ever used. IT s really really slow and IT has ping to almost every action that You want to take. When someone calls it takes almost 5 seconds after the ringing for the screen to reveal the name of the caller. Also...when i put it into the pocket it takes photos by itself. Because the keys on the right (volume and power) are built there very badly. Beside that..it freezes like a lot..very often. And can t do anything about it...can t restart. Can t turn off...the battery is non removable so i can t get it out. IT happens to stay like this as long as it wants...because can t do anything until IT recoveres. And this may take up to 15-20 minutes. For this entire time i may have an emergency and the phone CANNOT BE USED. It s the worst achievement i Be ever made. Doesn t even Worth those 35-40 usd. Do not buy it...make something better with your money

  • nah i dont think so

  • I have this phone it takes good picture during the day but the front camera it's not good....... my question is , is it going to receive Android 7.0?

  • 2.5D Dragontrail glass

  • Hi guys I got the smart prime 7 and it won't let me play my music nor open the files I have downloaded its says it had a music player and it doesn't please help as I carnt find my recept

  • ya i have to ,,,,i also got this this problem in use mobile

  • I bought Vodafone smart prime 7.its a very special fon. But I have found that the handset gets hot,is it the way its suppose to be.it makes me uncomfortable.

  • smart prime 7 its very good phone since i save my imformation from huawei p9lite , when i got it just retrieve in a wink off and eye got everything back nice one,,,,i love it...

  • What is this phone like for snapchat? Is it good for those kinda selfies where a front flash is needed or is the front screen flash on the Prime 7 useless?

  • Bought last week and am amazed with the Performance for £75 good looking ( White)looks Good. Voda have well thought out this Mobile.A Brilliant buy on a Budget Phone. Will sell in white and Gold. To be Honest at its Price you can't Knock it. Will move to the Ultra At Christmas but Great Value For Money. Give it 9 out off 10 for looks and same for performance ( x Mobile Shop Guru)

  • Vodacom is doing great I lv it more Dan de words can I express

  • I just got this phone and its pretty good. No problems what so ever. I just think it needs a better cooling system but apart from that its a great phone

  • just keep waiting for 6.0 (good phone good batery and fits well in the pocket) :)

  • The clock speed on this processor is actually 1.3 ghz, this means that it's a SD 212 processor and not an SD 210..

  • This phone is fine. It uses marshmallow SD cards properly, so if you put 128GB SD in it you have 128gb system memory. So don't worry about the 8GB onboard memory. It has NFC, Strong Bluetooth and wifi radios, full 4G. It won't play the latest games, but surely you all own tablets for gaming. This phone is great, the only limitation is the 1gb RAM, but as long as you remember to close background apps this is not a problem. I use the gps while driving and I listen to google play music at the same time. It receives all Fb, whatsapp and line messages whilst I'm driving and doesn't miss a beat. Sometimes even a top flight phone will splutter the music with that lot going on. I'll say it again. This is one of the very few handsets available that actually utilises all of Marshmallows feature set. So, Android Pay works, SD card formatted to system memory works, it's good.

  • do not buy!!! buy vodafone smart ultra 6. amazing value 4 money!

  • This is a crap piece plastic. Snapdragon 210? WHAT? prime 6 had soc 410!!! This phone is a mistake. I am using smart ultra 6. It is awesome. Best specced vodafone. Seriously guys, you would have to be dumb to buy this.

  • Hello guys, atm I have a Alcatel C7 Pop and I do intend to swap it, but I am a cheap bastard, so I was woundering if this was a upgrade since im only paying 80 euros for it and I dont really understand a shit about celphones

  • who manufacturers this phone? what comes in the box? how is the build quality?

  • this smart prime 7 is a downgrade from prime 6. for exmaple CPU is more slower then last year model

  • Great value for money, I was using the VF Smart Prime 6 device before and I'm really happy with my new VF Smart Prime 7.

  • Lol Vodafone isn't able to build good looking smartphones with good value. They should rather invest their money into 5G and the web of kabeldeutschland

  • SOC and Video Res specs are incorrect. It actually uses the 1.3Ghz SD212 (identical to the SD210 but 200mhz faster). Video recording is limited to 720p, not 1080p as the SD212 can not handle higher than 720p.

  • You would pretty silly to upgrade your prime 6 for this. Comedians.....

  • 25 € euro phone

  • Yep, Vodafone have made a mistake. The obvious downgrade in chipset (SD410 down to SD210) is the biggest hit but they have also made it bigger but kept the screen the same. So it's now slower and less ergonomical. But it's ok because they've given us, wait for it...40mah of extra battery! I don't think that's an argument it can win. 'Yes, we have given you a slower chipset, so much so that anything above Temple Run 2 will lag, but we've given you more battery. Unfortunately due to the outdated technology of the A7 cores there's no real efficiency bonuses so the 40mah extra will - perhaps - add another 5 minutes. On standby.' I do hope they get it right and upgrade the Ultra. I liked that phone and got very close to buying one.

  • What an opportunity to improve on the 6, but Vodafone are giving us a lesser chip? Vodafone, tell us this is a mistake and they come with the Ultra's MSM8939. Or at least the 410 same as the 6. Not less???!!!

  • Lmfao , the smart prime 6 had a sd 410 while this has 210 , is this a joke ?

  • Really Vodaphone? Crappy smartphone
