Any suggestions for a vanilla Android phone without any fancy stuff loaded on top of Android. I would love a Nexus but the new models are just over priced.
Suggestions please
Nokia 7 Plus
Nexus 6P 32Gb
Nexus 6 Phone
Nexus 5 Phone
Nexus 7 2013 Tablet
Samsung TAB A 8"
Samsung TAB A 10"
& many Windows laptops, Desktops etc

ronw: Sorry what brand is that. Not familiar with Smart brand
While most carrier branded handsets come with as much preloaded bloatware as possible, the Smart Ultra 6 bucks the trend and as a results, delivers performance and the Android experience as Google imagined it to be. If you’re looking for a low-cost handset that’s almost a blank slate for you to customise as you see fit, the Smart Ultra 6 is a good bet and is a shining example the experience that all carrier-branded devices (or any other smartphone really) should deliver.

NikT: Smart ultra and Smart prime at $299 and $149 respectively are exactly what you're after if cost is a concern. Vanilla plus double tap to wake and permissions management.
Wade:
And maybe a Marshmellow update in the near future? :P

5.1 will be on the way soon. :)
Wade:
Is there any plan in the pipeline for 6.0? Or will we have to wait for the Ultra 6's successor?

ronw: I gather the phone is locked to Vodafone so two questions.
Can it be unlocked
And if so will it work on Spark LTE
