Vodafone Smart Platinum 7
I’ve been an iphone devoting since my first handset a good 8
years or so ago but recently I was asked by Vodafone to review their own
handset. The Vodafone Smart Platinum 7 is an android like my tablet so I
managed to easily navigate around the apps as soon as the phone arrived.
The phone is larger than my current handset at 5.5” and has a
top quality fingerprint scanner for fast unlocking. An incredibly clear camera.
Do check out the photos from my husband’s work iphone and the Vodafone
Smart Platinum 7. Currently retailing at £295 it has a clearer camera than
the iphone retailing at the same price on Amazon or double at Argos for the
same internal memory. Plus, an added extra we love is that with smart platinum
you can add extra storage by adding an SD card.
So apps and storage aside how did we actually find the phone?
Well the handset is thinner and larger than my usual one but I did grab a cheap
gel case for the handset and this made it to me far more comfortable to hold
but did mean that the fingerprint sensor didn’t work so well. However, I
suspect that Vodafone could provide you with the details of a holder which
would allow this to work better.

The screen was much clearer than my current one and meant
that emails and photos were easier to view and edit without the need to email
myself and edit on the computer. The range of apps is of course huge and I
personally found they tended to be cheaper or there was a larger range of free
ones than on my normal handsets app store.
