Vodafone Smart First 6 Smartphone Review

The 2MP camera on the first 6 takes images at a native resolution of 2200×1320. There is no secondary camera, however, so if you like a cheeky selfie now and then, you may want to look elsewhere.

Before we begin to look at the camera itself, I think it worth mentioning that it is impressive the First 6 has a camera at all – no matter how capable. You will be able to take photos on it, which is an achievement in itself for a £30 smartphone.

I was actually a little bit surprised with some of the images, as some are sharper than I expected. Contrast is a big issue in most photos, though HDR mode does a decent job of creating a more pleasing image – as you can see above.

Occasionally the camera would struggle to focus, even with the tap-to-focus feature, resulting a blurry mess. On the whole, though, the camera is not awful and will capture your memories – just in a mostly low-contrast and low-resolution manner.
