LG G4 isn't far off in price. Better brand means a better resale value in year to 18 months. Even spec wise, LG G4 is a better handset. Just because something is different, doesn't make it better.

According to the specs no band 20 for 4G but also no 900mhz for standard 2G and some 3G services. Really not a good spec for the UK although seems a good phone for the intended market.

Thats possibly for the chinese version with zui instead of this international version with cyanogen. Like i said 4g works on o2 which uses band 20. So im not sure what to say to that

Seriously 2 days heavy usage, 3 days light/medium usage battery, camera yes it aint no galaxy s6 or lg g4 but its so above average especially day light and has OIS, i mean what phone seriously takes good pictures low light?, but u gotta consider the big 4 when buying phones: battery, display, performance, and camera, all phones always mess up on one of them. The screen is surprisingly good honestly 1080p is good enough 1440p is gimmiky battery draining feature to me, this screen is actually way brighter than s6. Any questions just leave a comment if ur looking for solid all round specs phone and you want impressive battery life then consider this phone, SERIOUSLY

Im sorry but where the hell is everyone getting info that this phone has no band 20??!! I have this phone and i can confirm it has band 20, i am on O2 and 4G works flawlessly!! I get minimum 8-9 hrs screen on time this phone is a beast!! Same camera as oneplus one, 3gb ram, 64gb storage, type c usb 3.0 speeds, really super fast light os, i always have minimum 1.5gb free ram multitasking is excellent, ye its last years specs but so what?? Snapdragon 801 is a solid cpu, 1080p with this cpu/gpu games are lag free! Such a awesome phone oh and it has fingerprint which destroys s6 and iphone, its RIDICULOUSLY FAST that you actually start laughing

Before you buy from any Chinese seller, do your due dilligence first. Some of the sites mentioned may possibly be ok if nothing goes wrong with the phone and others may never even ship it out. Beware!
Also the ZUK Z2 is coming out early next year and may be a better proposition.

This Lenovo Zuk - totally SUx at this price.

Sorry to be blunt but this is a terrible deal. £240 for a phone with a CPU from Q4 2013 and No LTE band 20 (O2).
Lenovo Vibe Shot is the same price, works on O2 and has a CPU released in September *this* year, if you must buy Lenovo.
Frankly with Galaxy S6 32GB retailing for £300 that would be my choice right now.

Yes, the Vibe Shot does have band 20, but getting it to work is another matter! Nice phone anyway, though the camera makes it longer than expected for a 5 inch.

I've missed this - where from please?

Full HD Screen, 4100mAh battery, USB Type C and a fingerprint reader.
The only thing that's missing for me is NFC (and quick charge).
Not a big deal now, but once Google Pay comes to the UK, I'll notice the omission.

Ooooh so many specs for the money..... Now to find a review....
Or a Galaxy Note 3 which shares the same CPU as this phone. The Note 3 however has a stylus, better screen, probably a better camera, NFC, IR Blaster and does all the 4g bands. This phone just has an extra 1gb system ram, touch ID and an a bigger battery.

first image on the site is missleading, makes it seems as if the handset has a tiny screen bezel.
£228 from EU warehouse. Code EUZUK is supposed to take $20 off as well.

I don't understand why the chines are still not producing phones which cover the whole range of 4G bands... Why leave one out on purpose and limit your chances of targeting more markets ?

Because they don't intend to sell each model everywhere and it is not as simple as add some software to make it work, they need to add supporting hardware etc...
In some sense they would rather you buy a more expensive version they intend to sell in UK than this one which is intended for China and surrounding areas...
LG G3 should in theory have way weaker battery life than this phone (assuming that 4100mAh is true...). For this sort of price I would rather go with Moto x play if you are looking for battery life.
This might be an "old" processor but it is still powerful enough for everything imo...

No NFC either, kind of a bummer on a good phone. :/

True the G4 would be a better investment, but with the V10 out, the G5 coming and by the time you went to sell the G4 the G6 would be out, you'd probably only be looking to get £80 for it, but you have a point lol.
