Vodafone UK has announced a new low-cost Android-powered Smart II handset for only £70.
The UK mobile operator aims to offer its latest budget phone to consumers who want to jump into the Android community without breaking the bank.
The Vodafone Smart II comes with Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread mobile operating system, an 800MHz single-core processor and 150MB of RAM, which means that it will most likely fail to run high-end apps, but Vodafone apparently wants to cover that reality by saying that Gmail, Facebook and YouTube will be preinstalled.
The 12.35mm thick handset will be available in two color variants of white and dark grey and features a 3.15-megapixel rear-facing camera with VGA video recording and LED flash, an FM radio, Wi-Fi, HSDPA connectivity and a 2GB microSD card out of the box.
The Vodafone Smart II is now available on the network’s online store through pas as you go for only £70. Interested consumers need around £5 tops to get a voucher code to use at Blockbuster and Thorntons.
