This phone updates very quickly to newer android version resulting in 0 problems with overheating... so don't make stupid comments, voted hot for this deal !

,.,.

Bought one a couple of days ago. I'd had enough of my iPhone 6 and wanted a change. I'm no stranger to Android phones as I've always been a Android fan. I'd only gone over to ios for around 6 months but needed a change (not knocking ios, it works excellently, just needed a change).
All I can say is this is a brilliant phone!!
Updated to 5.1.1 EUR C as soon as it booted up the first time. Got a little warm during and after the update for around half an hour but hasn't gotten warm since - even when playing games!!
The only downside is the internal 16gb storage. In reality you only have around 8gb to use as the system uses around 8gb. You can get away with this by buying a (decent) sdcard though. When the marshmallow update arrives in February you'll be able to use the sdcard as internal storage and it shouldn't affect day to day performance at all as long as it's a decent spec card.

It's the 16GB on board that is the problem.

Certain apps such as MS Office, Skype, Amazon, Ebay, Gumtree, Evernote, Clean Master, LinkedIn, Paypal, SoundCloud, Voxer, Groupon, Instagram.... (well anyway you get the idea) don't like being moved and can cause Android to malfunction. This is often manifested by Android slowing down or becoming sluggish.

You can of course intervene manually to remove this problem but it's something you don't get hassled with on a 32GB+ phone.

Simply wait for the Marshmallow if you are scared of running out of space. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/135716-how-to-use-flex-storage-on-android-6-0-marshmallow ...128gb cards are not that expensive those days.

I managed to get this for £195 yesterday from amazon.de (next day delivery) but could get a few quid cheaper if you are willing to wait a few more days with standard delivery.

My first impressions are very positive. The overheating issue everyone brings up must have been fixed, because i have not noticed anything like that. I tested it by playing gta san andreas on max settings and max brightness (No delays) whilst mirroring to a chromecast and connected to a ps4 controller via bluetooth, honestly it was the same temperature as my G2 doing the same thing. The phone wasn't roasting at all, yes it was warmer than average but during that time all apps were instantly responding.

I have the 16gb version with a 64gb sd card in aswell.

Are expansys trusted and what is rakutens customer service like?

I feel stupid asking, but where do I enter the code, I literally can't see anywhere to put it o.O, also would the 242424 24% off code work on this too?, Id of tried but refer to the start of this paragraph lol.

The 3Gb version does not support all the UK LTE Bands...

Thank you for sharing, very useful information regarding the phone.

i don't find the 16GB too bad when using a 32Gb micro sd as well. Moving apps to sd is built in, don't need any special apps, true not all apps will move. This also sets up 'mirror' folders for android/data and android/obb on the external sd, you can manually move the internal sd obb/data files to these and see if it works, this saves loads of data.. most games I've tried are fine with this though a few are not and will download the data again.

Is the 3GB version available in UK / EU, if yes I would really be interested in it

great price!

It​ doesn't help the problem, you can't transfer all apps to memory card and therein lies the problem.

mine is on about 1.2gb of space left and the 64gb card is almost full.

Android is running slow and no matter what maintenance tasks you carry out nothing has changed the fact that Android wants more space to run smoother.

Furthermore memory is regularly fluctuating between 800mb and 300mb free. I've already wiped the phone once and ran programs such as Clean Master and Ccleaner but it was just a matter of time before the problem returned.

I could go down the custom partition route and expand the on board memory virtually but I've reverted back to my older G Flex 1 which I'm much happier with (32gb on board, bigger screen).

They're both excellent value for money but I'd try to avoid phones with 16gb or less on board.

Dorsnt everyone use memory cards these days?

The 16GB version is the 2GB of ram model
32GB is the 3GB of ram model.

Depends what you want.

Has anyone else's order been processed yet?

Cos it soon fills up quickly and you've gotta use apps like Apps2SD to balance things out. Only that transferring certain apps can cause potential problems with operation/stability (i.e. of those apps).

Avoid the 16GB version.

BLACK10 doesn't work (any more)

Now Working (CYBER10)

I have this phone and it by far the best I have ever had, and I usually pay a lot more for phones, only thing missing IMHO is finger print scanner

I want this phone but I'm going to hold off until it drops in JL or Amazon for the same price, I dont know if its just me, but I dont trust these places for buying phones from.

​expansys are not !/
returns department are stupid. took 3 weeks to get a refund and 3 weeks to fix it but sent it back with the fault

Moto x play for £200 from amazon is expired now. How does this compare guys?

you need to be a member of rakuten

Expansys are posted on here quite a lot; Rakuten are a re-branded version of Play.com and are featured on Quidco, so can be trusted IMO

I've only done it as a member, but assume you can do it as a guest too - you just need to go to the checkout, enter your address details, go to the next page and then enter the code when it asks for it!

it won't let me enter the code, do you have to become a member or can you use guest checkout?

hotter as in the deal or hotter as in its a phone that burns you when you use it

i have this phone.sold my note 4 and had this over two month.and i do not regret it one bit.its fantastic

good deal lol

How does this compare to moto play x for £200 please?

Hotter than David Cameron watching The Muppet Christmas Carol.
