If you're looking for a very affordable smartphone that offers LTE network, here's one phone that TechRadar calls a 'clever buy', the "Vodafone Smart Speed 6". It's amazing how this phone can be stuffed with all necessary smartphone features and remain at a low price of 70 Euro. Among GSMarena's 10 price groups, this phone just belongs in 2/10, which simply says a lot about how competitive the "Vodafone Smart Speed 6" is when it comes to affordability.

"Vodafone Smart Speed 6" Hands On Review
According to tech site TechRadar, the phone offers a smooth performance despite its budget friendly hardware. Watching movies, playing games, and listening to music in the "Vodafone Smart Speed 6" do not result to annoying lags like the other budget phones do. The 480 x 854 pixel resolution also isn't too bad in catering to your visual needs.
The camera may not be the best when taken outdoors as its good shots are limited within the indoors. But who are we to complain, it's a 70 Euro smartphone with slightly better specs compared to its rivals. Though, it could have been better if they made more color variants, at least to cater to the majority of its possible audience which are the youngsters. But of course, the company should be given credit in bringing 4G network down to a cheaply priced phone. With the LTE network, social media apps and browsers should become less annoying when using cellular data.
