Vodafone's Smart Prime 7 is perfect for selfie fiends on a budget

A 5-megapixel front-facing camera is the best thing about Vodafone's new dirt-cheap smartphone.

If you want extra clarity in your gurning selfies but don't have the cash to hand for Samsung's stunning Galaxy S7, Vodafone's new budget offering might be worth a look. It's called the Smart Prime 7 and it's available now for only £75 on pay as you go.

For that small bundle of cash you'll get a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, as well as a 5-inch 720p screen, a quad-core processor and an 8-megapixel rear camera. It also runs the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow software.

Sure, it's not made from metal and glass, and it almost certainly won't give top-end smartphones a run for their money in the performance arena. But it's got everything you need for your everyday social networking.
