Great phone for the money, better than anything at the price.
5.5" screen, 2Gb Ram.

If you need to unlock it, cost apx £3 for a simple unlock code on ebay.

Poop only had mine about two weeks and already cheaper!

Was still a great deal then!

Similar to a Galaxy S4, slightly bigger screen but a lower spec screen and processor.

Here's a good comparison against some other pretty good budget phones, it does pretty well:

Amazing they can sell it for that little.

Not really.

Standard price for this kind of model in China, eighteen months ago.

Example: K Touch Nibiru Mars One H1 from March 2014 £102 back then. Much the same spec at the Smart Ultra 6

People just pay too much for phones in the first place. A triumph of marketing over common sense.

Same with now well known names such as Huawei Honor 3X Pro. Available for £85, perhaps less.

The Smart Ultra 6 is similar to these eighteen month old phones, but with Android 5.0 installed.

Found out that BBC iPlayer Radio app for one, cannot be configured to use the SD card on Android to store those huge downloads for offline listening. Eg a 6 Music Programme at 400 MB. My Huawei has 4 GB internal storage and I already get Memory Full. Would need to root the phone to solve it.
Therefore a 2 GB internal memory is going to be very limiting indeed even for kids or as a backup phone.

You are getting confused buglawton

The Ultra 6 has got 16gb internal memory not 2GB

The 2GB is the RAM

Your Huaweii has 4GB storage, not RAM.

Yes I meant internal memory in the first place, corrected.
16 GB is quite respectable.
