Yes, it works.

Works

Calls and texts work over 2G, which Vodafone keeps running with no switch-off date announced, and 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3).

Calls, texts and data should all work with a Vodafone SIM.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Vodafone's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.
