You probably need to have previously signed-up on vmall to use code

If you have not previously registered for the promotion it's likely to get rejected

got one and returned it, good phone but battery is rubbish or I should say software is the problem, stand-by mode is not up to the tasks, drain 20% to 30% of battery during bedtime, also the quality look good at the first glance but when you look into the details, it's actually OK, the one I received, the camera is off centre slightly, and the top and bottom plastic casing is not in-line with the middle metal casing. I know people will say it's a £209 phone but if I am going to pay a phone over £200, I do expect something above OK, especially the marketing of this phone is focused on built quality, design.....bla bla bla, so they can't blame me if the phone is not up to my expectation.

Boot to recovery mode and a factory reset would probably have cured the excessive battery drain...

​It's a brand new phone - shouldn't have to factory reset.

Huawei are trying to do a oneplusone here, would imagine a company this large is able to produce enough units to meet demand. or are they trying to generate demand hmmm .... :man:

Now I have a dilemma which handset should I upgrade it to?? OnePlus X £199 or Nexus 5X £350 or this handset? Need some help and advice please :smiley: thx

AMOLED FTW <3

I was wondering can anyone advise this or the Argos LG G3 deal?

​I have the Honor 7 and my gf has the OnePlus One, based on my usage of both phones and cause it's very good looking I would go with the OnePlus X. Mostly because of Cyanogen but also cause the gpu on the Honor isn't as good as the Adreno 330 when playing games. Even 2D games like spider square have dropped frames on my Honor.

Signed up and ordered - current Status: "Not Processed". Admittedly only ordered 10 minutes ago.

There goes your main reason for suggesting the oneplus x, it doesn't have cyanogen..

very good phone for the money. no NFC and one or two glitches now and then in the software are the only downsides. everything else is great. had the phone for nearly 3 weeks now.

bought it thanks

OPO X:
1. very old SoC
2. no nfc
3. no fast charging
4. no fingerprint scanner
5. not the full USB Type C

If you don't mind that & like smaller phones ... go with that.
I'm going to go for the ceramic version or bust.

Point 1 against the OPO X is unfair. It's still a powerful phone, better than many midrange models.

I bought the Honor 7 also the other day and I'm returning it. The Honer 7 is not bad for the price. Finish is good and not slow at all. A few reasons that I am sending it back.
1) Limitation of 16GB internal storage if both sims are in use. With only 9GB left it is not enough. I needed a dual sim phone.
2) The quality of the camera is only ok. I took some indoor shots and the quality I will just give it a pass.
3) Finally Huawei phone don't really have much alternative rom at the moment so if you don't like their rom then you are stuck.

Wife just got Nexus 5X 32GB today and it is looking good. Finish is not metal but looks smooth. It is very good in terms of size as you can grab it and control with one hand easily. It is much thinner and lighter than the Honor 7. So far it doesn't feel slow and everything ran quite smoothly. Haven't testing the camera yet but have been told they have made effort on improving the camera, a well known weakness on previous Nexus devices.
Already telling me there is a system update, with Nexus you are always going to get your update fast. There are also plenty of alternative rom if needed.
If I don't need a dual sim phone I will get the Nexus 5X for sure, the 6P is just too big. I ordered a Oneplus2 64GB yesterday as it fits most of my requirements. OneplusX is the entry level of the Oneplus. It looks nice but basic, I will choose it if you don't mind the missing finger print scanner, 16GB internal memory or only single sim.

I've got the Honor 6 and the battery life is one of the best Ive experienced in recent phones.

Huawei have said there'll be the Marshmallow beta 'within weeks' for the H7, so people sending theirs back due to the 5.0 battery drain problems are a bit daft really. Just stick it out for a while longer...

Neither is worth the price.... Bad decision even thinking about these 2 :wink:

Is it really to much to ask that a product performs as it should straight out of the box. If a very near update fixes the issue then they should have waited before releasing it. Just bad press that way, I've already been put off buying it.

Now my status is - Awaiting Stock - seems to have honor(ed) the code.

Stock is estimated in four days according to VMall.

Selling a brand new one if anyone is interested?

LOL! That's how they value their own devices. Just leave 'em lying around on the floor along with all the other rubbish. They need to fire that bloke.

I like my z3 compact too. :smiley:
I also had the +1 with SD801. It was good then...

But late 2015, I think SD808 would have been a better choice. This provides a bit of future proofing.

But SD820 phones are out soon.

Yes, brought it off the vmall site at launch?

OOS

lol, again with the limited stock bs, cmon people this is China they make these things by the 1000's every hour.

I'm still rockin with SD600 in my 2013 S4 and it's fine :sunglasses:

​Oh interesting, how do they compare?

People still using the S3 fine too. :smiley:
But you would not buy a smartphone for that price with an SD600 in late 2015.

has anyone received the phone? shipment keeps getting delayed!

Mine too - went down to 1 day, then up to 4 days, then today up to 6 days. No good for someone who's phone has died and needs a new one NOW!

Never noticed your question till now - I assume you mean how do the honor 6 and p7000 compare?

It's all about size really, both are equally capable, excellent battery life, good cameras, the honor is a better quality device in that the p7000 has a few niggles that could annoy you. Downsides with the p7000 are the camera has a slight red tinge in the centre of some photos, light dependent, there's also an issue with the fingerprint scanner, it works well but drains the battery and can cause heat issues - but I've never used mine since the first week as I found it too much hassle. The other p7000 hassle is a conflict between the Bluetooth and wifi, if you're using Bluetooth and wifi and the wifi drops out, it can take some time for the wifi to reconnect. Plus side of the p7000 is the screen is awesome,and the phone is very quick and smooth - I'm a big fan of having two sims and an SD card, this all works really well.
I picked up the p7000 for $149 presale and I'm now keen to try one of the newer 5.5" phones with the 21 mp camera, the elephone vowney looks good but is only available in gold at the moment as a presale and I'm after a different colour this time so will see how the vowney reviews are - there isn't such a good presale discount this time either.
