Dee Kaul, Director – Terminals UK and Ireland said: “We’ve sold over 70 million Vodafone branded devices across the world since we started offering them in 2006. They’ve proved a huge success and I expect the Smart Ultra 6 will be another great addition.  This is the most premium 4G device we’ve launched and one that I think customers will be very excited about due to its strong feature set, competitive price point and great design, it looks fantastic!

In this device we’re taking specifications such as a 5.5” Full HD screen, 13MP camera, great battery life and powerful processor whilst making it affordable and accessible to all our Consumer and Enterprise customers.  I look forward to us continuing the great success we’ve had with our own branded handsets and ensuring that from our entry Vodafone Branded Device, the Smart first 6, to our flagship Smart ultra 6 we offer our customers a 4G device that fits their needs.”

Vodafone has expanded its ultrafast 4G coverage to 555 larger cities, towns and districts as well as thousands of smaller communities across the UK. For more information on our 4G coverage visit www.vodafone.co.uk/4G
