Vodafone smart 4 max

The phone company Vodafone has introduced the new Vodafone Smart 4 Max, type a smartphone phablet incorporating a screen six inches (with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels) accompanied by a slim design (7.9 mm thick). We are facing a terminal that can be purchased both with a single payment (270 euros, without permanence) and through rates whose prices range from 16 to 56 euros per month. Let's learn more about its technical specifications in this review of the Vodafone Smart 4 Max.

Display and layout

The Vodafone Smart 4 Max is presented with a large screen, specifically six inches. That is why it is said that this terminal is a phablet , since the size of its screen is halfway between a mobile (whose screen sizes are usually around five inches) and a tablet (whose screen sizes usually around nine inches). The front panel is moving this type IPS, and the screen reaches a resolution HD of 1,280 x 720 pixels.

The Vodafone Smart 4 Max comes with the characteristic design that other Vodafone mobiles incorporate such as, for example, the Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo. This means that the back cover of this mobile is made of plastic and has a very simple design, while the front panel offers a modern design in which the side edges do not seem to be annoying when it comes to handling the screen. At the bottom of the screen we can see the three touch buttons of the Android operating system: Back , Home and Menu . Unless Vodafone indicates otherwise, the Vodafone Smart 4 Max will be available in stores with a single housing color: black.

Regarding its size, the Vodafone Smart 4 Max is a mobile that despite its large size (exact measurements still to be specified, although looking at the size of the screen we can get an idea of its dimensions) offers a relatively thin thickness of 7.9 millimeters. The total weight of the equipment, including the battery, reaches 170 grams.

Camera and multimedia

The main camera of the Vodafone Smart 4 Max incorporates a sensor of 13 megapixels which is accompanied by an LED flash whose main function lies in adding extra lighting to pictures taken in adverse lighting conditions. This camera is also accompanied by an application that includes the usual options of these cameras: video recording, digital zoom (of four increases), editing, and so on. Vodafone ensures that the sensor of the main camera of this mobile is manufactured by Sony, although we do not know the exact model in question.

The secondary camera located at the top of the front of the phone comes with a sensor two megapixels whose image quality is primarily intended to allow hold video calls and perform some auto-profile photograph sporadic.

In addition to this, the Smart 4 Max also incorporates a RAM memory whose capacity is set at 1 GigaByte.

Regarding the internal storage, the memory that the Vodafone Smart 4 Max brings as standard is 8 GigaBytes, although this space translates into about 4 or 5 useful GigaBytes that the user has at his complete disposal once he turns on for the first time time the mobile. This capacity can be increased by using a microSD- type card up to a maximum of 32 GigaBytes. But in addition to the physical spaces, the Vodafone Smart 4 Max also includes a cloud storage application called Vodafone Cloud, which allows you to store backup copies of the phone in the cloud.
