Issue is i often watch tv shows and ufc on my phone and this screen is probably too small. Think i will probably end of going for the premium instead but will have a think Hi mate, I understand how it is no worries. I had a couple of 5.1" and 5.2" phones recently and it feels so good now to go back to a smaller handset (I've got the Z3 Compact). One handed operations are awesome!

Ingram85 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Ordered a Smart Prime 7 today from Voda. Looks amazing for £75. Will report back once it gets here and may upload a video. I bloody love budget phones. Will get the Smart Ultra 7 once it's out too. Still maintain that the Smart Ultra 6 is THE best phone for value for price around at the mo. It's astounding what you get from it for £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate wanted a cheap phone quick, so I suggested these: It's distinctly a budget phone, but it's a total bargain. Came with a jelly case at that price too. He wishes he'd paid the extra £4 for the 8GB (on the right) though. There are loads of cheap phones on Amazon, just make sure they can use the Google play store.

If I was buying a new phone tomorrow I don't think I'd be looking at any of the big brands. The new manufacturers are so cheap the phones are almost disposable.

Stevo985 Posted June 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2016 Mine does get warm, but not so hot that they shut down or anything. Just noticeably warm. My biggest, and pretty much only, gripe with the Z5 (or at least my Z5) is the bluetooth is poor. Every now and then when you're listening to music or whatever it gets all stuttery and interrupted, like a CD skipping. And it seems to get worse if you have other apps running (the nav for example). It's not bad enough to make it unusable. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all, sometimes it's bad for 30 seconds and stops. But it's bad enough to annoy me that a premium phone has a fault like that.

My Z5 compact overheated to the point it was unusable. Generally I found it quite clunky compared to my S7 and even my trusty old LG G3 which is currently backing it up as my work phone.
