Proper mobile essentials without the unnecessary extras. The Vodafone TCL 501 32GB Mobile Phone gives you everything you need for staying connected - a decent-sized 6-inch display that's ideal for browsing, messaging and watching videos, plus a 5-megapixel rear camera for capturing everyday moments. With 32GB of storage built in, you've got room for apps, photos and music, and if you need more space, you can expand it massively using a microSDXC card. Running Android 14 Go edition, it's lightweight and efficient, with access to the Google Play Store for all your essential apps.
The 3000mAh battery keeps you going through the day without hunting for a charger, and the octa-core processor handles multitasking smoothly as you switch apps. Face Unlock makes getting into your phone quick and simple, and at 180g, it's comfortable to hold without feeling flimsy. This dual SIM phone supports 2 nano SIMs simultaneously, with 4G, 3G and 2G on the Vodafone network. It's compact enough to slip into a pocket, comes with a charging cable and a 2-year guarantee, and requires a minimum 10 top-up added automatically to your order.
Please note: In order to reduce e-waste, the manufacturer has chosen not to include a USB plug in the box. You can use an existing USB plug with the included USB cable or purchase one from our site. Please see the 'Box Contents' section below for more details.

this phone is the worst phone I have ever had, I have given up on and bought another it kept charging me £2 pound a day even though I wasn't using it and the screen rotate kept switching itself off a waste of money. DO NOT BUY ONE
