Vodafone Smart Speed 6 Review

Previous ‘Smart' devices have impressed me with their battery lives, and the Speed 6 is no different.

It runs off a 1780 mAh capacity battery, which may not sound especially impressive. However, it is worth remembering the 480×854 screen resolution is not very power-hungry, so the smaller battery capacity reflects that.

In real world terms, I would expect the Speed 6 to last two days for most users. That is certainly what I found with the Speed 6, with mobile data always on and screen brightness high. What impressed me most is its ability to hold a charge when left on standby – after being on and unused for hours, the battery had dropped by just a couple of percentage points.

This is confirmed by the Geekbench 3 battery score, with a time of just under 9 hours placing the Speed 6 at the upper end of our chart. Clearly, the Speed 6 will not disappoint with its battery life.
