http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/vodafone-smart-mini.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/14/vodafone-smart-mini/)In one sense, many budget smartphones aren't budget enough; they often require some substantial financial discipline for the typical buyer. Not so Vodafone UK's new Smart Mini: at just £50 ($78) on pay as you go service, it's very nearly an impulse purchase. You're even getting a bit more than you'd expect for that small cash outlay. While the 3.5-inch HVGA screen, 2MP camera, 1GHz MediaTek (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/mediatek-sees-no-reason-cheap-phones-cant-have-ice-cream-sandwi/) chip and 4GB of storage won't floor anyone, the Smart Mini ships with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean -- we've seen more expensive phones (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/12/zte-director-arrives-at-us-cellular/) that carry older software. Those who like the Smart Mini's back-to-basics proposition can pick up a black or white model today.
