Budget phone at £125 with pretty beefy specs!

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939, octa-core
Display: 5.5 inch Full HD (1080 x 1920)
Storage: 16GB, microSD (up to 128GB)
Memory: 2GB of RAM
Camera: 13Mp rear-facing LED flash, 5Mp front-facing
Operating system: Android 5.0, Lollipop
Battery: 3000mAh
4G too!

Really tempted to swap my Moto G out for one of these. Just waiting for an unlock so I can use on Giffgaff. Anybody got any experience with this phone?

Yeah it is locked to voda. Currently I think the only way to unlock it is by getting voda to do it for around £20-30. As with budget mobiles if this becomes popular then I imagine there will be cheap unlock codes on eBay soon enough.

I would think that voda is not making much money per handset and is instead relying on income from new customers joining voda and the use of the bloatware apps to make money. Hopefully xda or somebody pick up in this device as for the money the specs can't be matched I don't think. I was debating a second hand lg g2 but this looks just as good for very similar if not less money.

Well, that's peaked my interest more now, but do you think it'll be a worthwhile step up from a Moto G LTE?

I'm wondering the same!

It's a shame vodafone cocked up so much with the orders of these. It had potential to be huge yet seems to have died on hukd and nobody seems to be talking about it really. Perhaps give it a few more weeks and see if it takes off.

The new Moto G should be coming out soon which I imagine will be slightly better than this and will definitely have a longer update cycle.
