What are the best Vodafone phones for all budgets?
It seems like every week we hear about the release of a new phone. Faster this! That slimmer! It can get exhausting quickly, and if you’re not paying attention, the scenery can quickly change before you. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, thousands of new smartphones have been released, each iterating on what came before and adding new features along the way.
If you’ve been too busy with your life, you might be confused by the current state of the smartphone market. So with Christmas just around the corner and many Vodafone customers looking to upgrade their old phones, what are the best phones on the net for every budget?
Top of the range: iPhone 6s, Xperia Z5, Galaxy S6 Edge+
We’ve included three phones in this section, because when you spend money each month on a phone, you want to make sure it’s going to keep you happy for the next two years. After all, there’s nothing quite as annoying as buying a new phone and finding out it doesn’t work the way you’d like.
First up is the iPhone 6s and, well, it’s the latest iPhone. Available in 16, 32, and 64 GB flavors, as well as a larger Plus variant. While new features like ‘Force Touch’ are something of a gimmick right now, it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is the most capable iPhone yet. Powerful, slim, and with a great camera and screen, it’s a great phone. However, battery life is still a disappointment and if you don’t like iOS on any other Apple device, you won’t like it here either.
The Sony Xperia Z5 is a criminally underrated device. It’s completely waterproof with a beautiful design, and not to mention it’s blazing fast, has a great camera, two-day battery life, and a beautiful display. Its battery is sealed in line with that of the iPhone, but it comes with a micro-SD slot to expand its memory, so you’ll have plenty of space for all your music, photos, and videos. Don’t worry about a fingerprint reader either, because it has it.
Finally, there is the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. His name may be a mouthful, but he’s a worthy contender. If you’re looking at the iPhone 6s Plus and wondering what its competition is, look no further. The Edge+ has perhaps the most beautiful design and build quality of any smartphone, a huge battery, an excellent camera, a good fingerprint reader, and great pacing. It also has a wild surround screen that features a number of clever tricks to impress your friends.
Mid-range: Xperia Z5 Compact
Our first pick for a mid-range phone is the Xperia Z5 Compact. We picked the Z5 as one of our higher-end picks, but don’t think the Compact is the inferior device. It has the same processor and camera and is just as beautiful and well built. In fact, the only change is its size (it has a 4.6″ screen that is very comfortable to use). So, if you want a smaller smartphone with great power, this is yours.
Budget: Moto G (2015)
Once upon a time, buying a good smartphone meant spending a lot of money. These days, however, you can spend a little and get a lot of what makes those expensive smartphones great. Our case in point is the Moto G. Made by (you guessed it) Motorola, the device has a 5″ HD screen, a beautiful 13 MP camera, a clean version of the latest version of Android, a fast processor, a water resistant and a great battery It doesn’t do everything previous phones do but if you want a budget smartphone then this phone will impress you like no other.
