Good deal if this is supposed to be considered a Flagship competitor to the S8, I suppose... :confused:
Call me Mr Tight A*se if you choose, but these phones are getting more expensive each year like the OnePlus 5.
The Honor 7 was £229 when I got it. and now these Honor phones are been released at prices around £150+ more, which takes the shine off them. For that money they are not really doing much more than last year's phone did, other than a tad quicker and maybe the camera slightly improved.
For these prices I would be tempted to look at buying last year's flagship phones from the big manufacturers which areca similar price.
Also you can get this year's LG6 cheaper if happy to take a punt buying from a HK, as per previous posts.
Suppose I'm just a little deflated, as had high hopes for a great phone at a sub £300 price. :disappointed:

£379 is the launch price.
Was the Honor 7 £130 at launch?
Was the Honor 8 £199 at launch?

And I guarantee you are the kind of person that pays £45 a month for 2 years for an iPhone. Lmfao

Not a bad price, as the almost identical Honor 8 Pro (with 2Gb extra RAM the only probable difference) is just over £100 more from the same store: https://www.vmall.eu/de/honor-8-pro-de-64gb-black-301400/
Far-East stores are ~£50 lower (if you're brave enough).

Ah damn you beat me to it - I thought this was a good deal and was going to post it.
Price is very competitive especially when compared to pricing for equivalents, even from China the Xiaomi Mi6 costs more than this, and don't get me started on the price of the OnePlus 5!!!
But I still want the Honor 9 because it's blue and shiny. Hope three get it listed online soon.

Plus it is a 5.7" 2K screen, metal unibody not glass so they are not in the same league. However this one much more compact. FHD is just fine 5.15", new camera, new audio experience. Very nice price.

True but 4gb RAM is absolutely fine, & I was price checking against the 128gb Mi6 as the Honor has upgradeable storage.
Incidentally I have a 128gb Mi6 arriving hopefully this week but may have gone for this if I'd known the pricing would be so keen.
