Vodafone introduces the Smart 4 power and Smart 4 turbo

Vodafone today announced the launch of two new 4G smartphones which deliver a high level of performance and connectivity at a price that is attractive to the majority of customers currently missing out on ultrafast access to the mobile internet.

The new Vodafone Smart 4 power and Vodafone Smart 4 turbo are designed to give customers the complete Vodafone 4G experience with no compromise on power, functionality or quality. Available on Vodafone’s 4G-ready plans, including Vodafone’s Red proposition, the Vodafone smartphones will enable customers to stream video in high definition, listen to enhanced audio, make high definition voice calls and enjoy almost instantaneous downloads. The smartphones also include a range of simple but powerful Vodafone apps to help customers manage their digital lives and keep their personal information safe and secure.

Both smartphones feature a setup wizard and an intuitive user interface which makes it easy for customers to configure and set their own preferences. They also feature the very latest Android OS, which gives customers access to a full Android experience, including Google Now™, Google’s personal assistant technology, and Google™ Play, the hub for all music, movies, books and apps.

The smartphones also incorporate Near Field Communications technology (NFC), which allows customers to benefit from the speed, simplicity and convenience of managing their everyday transactions with a single wave or tap of their smartphone. They come with a quick-start guide and two NFC tags which customers can use to trigger specific actions each time they touch the tag with their phones.
