Between the Galaxy S4 (all four versions of it), the HTC One, and the Xperia Z, there's certainly no shortage of high-end smartphones out there. Still, not everyone wants a phone with 2 GB of RAM and an eight-core CPU. For those who don't need all the power of the Galaxy S4 and its rivals, there are numerous options. Unfortunately, trading specs for a lower price often means you'll get a phone running an old, out-of-date version of Android.
Vodafone UK today announced a brand new phone that puts Jelly Bean in customers' hands for just £50. Described as the most affordable Jelly Bean smartphone in town, the Vodafone Smart Mini boasts a 3.5-inch display, a 2-Megapixel camera, a 1 GHz MT6575 single-core CPU, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of storage, and Android Jelly Bean.
This is the Vodafone Smart Mini, and it’s the most affordable Android Jelly Bean smartphone in town. It’s also pretty capable for such a pocketable handset. That makes it an exciting prospect for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the mobile Internet waters for the first time.
The Smart Mini sports a spacious 3.5-inch display and a 2-Megapixel camera, lovingly layered into a thin and compact body. It runs on Android Jelly Bean, which is the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system. That means it has access to the hundreds of thousands of apps, songs, books and movies on the Google Play store. All that, and it’s only £50 on Pay as you go.
