Pink phones are back! Vodafone drops budget Smart Mini mobile

Time was when you couldn’t move for pink phones aimed at young women. Then the iPhone came along and the craze died down a little. Vodafone, however, may be about to bring them back too after announcing that it will have a pink version of its new cheap and cheerful phone the Smart Mini.

With a PAYG price of £50, it’s a mobile that’s aimed at punters who want smartphone facilities but are restricted by a tight budget.

Nevertheless the specs aren’t bad, It runs Android 4.1, sports a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen and comes with a 1 GHz single-core processor and 512MB of RAM.

Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity are also on board too. Its weakest link is quite possibly its camera which only snap two megapixel images.

And if you don’t fancy a pink version – which will be on sale shortly – you can also have it in black or white.

It goes on sale today.
