The Smart First 6 included just a 2MP primary camera – so it is good to see Vodafone have upped this to 5MP (2560×1440) with the Speed 6. There is also a 2MP secondary camera on the front.

As you were probably expecting, the camera is nothing special. There is obviously superior detail in the shots compared to the First 6's camera, but there is still no touch-to-focus option which is mystifying. This means users can only point and shoot, hoping that the image is in focus.

Colours seem a bit warm, and images have a tendency to be darker than I would like – even when shot in sunlight. Despite this, 5MP is a fair amount of detail for £50, and most users contemplating a £50 smartphone will not be too fussy.

At the end of the day, it is a functioning camera at a low cost – I would not expect glorious photos from it, but it can do a job.
