There is seldom more than £5 on my PAYG account! That lasts me a few months. Social media - not interested in it. and dont use my phone for banking. My main use is as a sat nav to save having to carry a tomtom and a phone.

Ah that warms my heart. A perfectly reasonable answer to demonstrate that we all use our phones in different ways and there is NO one fix fits all solution. :-)

Tempting, but would this be much better than my Galaxy S5?
I'm thinking of running it into the ground, but with deals like this. :smile:

probably not. I'd be worried about the SD 616 being laggy.

Galaxy s5 is better. Go with honor 7,, thats par with s5

Great price - and if anyone thinks the 16Gb internal storage is a bit on the low side (and it is), someone's just posted a 64Gb Micro SD for £11.95.
Perfect combination.

2GB is more than ample for everyday use.

People don't mind spending double this on a Z3 Compact with 'only' 2GB of RAM.

how about refund policy for mobile phones on amazon ?
OK, possibly stupid question, but if one keeps this phone in a flip case which presumably would cover the fingerprint reader, how do you unlock/wake the phone? Can you double tap the screen to wake it up? I've never felt the need to lock my phone cos no one else in the house uses it.

Finger print reader is on the back and cases have the hole cut out for the finger print reader like the camera hole. I have a honor 7 and the cases I have bought have the hole cut out
Rob_1304 to SusieM
22 Feb 16#21
A case designed for this phone would have a cutout for the fingerprint reader. You can always wake with the power button though, and then use a passcode/pattern instead of the fingerprint reader.

I m looking for phone but checked one review on you tube quite detailed the specs are very much like S4 and definitely non removable battery so not for me but for the price is good deal

is this much of a step up from a htc m8 ?
Lukedotv to candi
22 Feb 161#24
no.
mum2oneplustwins to candi
22 Feb 16#25
I'm in the same boat. A friend gave me a comparison.
The M8 is the better device however the Honor has a larger screen and dual SIM if that is important.
Love my M8 and despite the fact I keep thinking about a new phone, there isn't anything worth the money out there! Would like the M9 but not paying a small fortune for minor improvements.
SusieM
22 Feb 16#22
Thanks Rob but that sounds a bit of a faff to have to do each time - my moto g wakes up as soon as I open the flip case without haveing to use any passcodes or pattern.

Will this work for o2 4g anyone?
Rob_1304 to newuserant
22 Feb 161#28
Yes
Rob_1304
22 Feb 161#27
It's not really a faff if all you need to do is press the power button or put your finger on the reader. If this is anything like the 6P, it wakes from sleep as soon as it reads your fingerprint. I mentioned passcodes/patterns if you want some level of security on your phone other than fingerprint, but if you don't want any security on there, it'll wake as soon as you press the power button

Ordered for wife, who needs mid-range handset. Been on look out for a while. This fits what she needs with reasonable processor, camera, battery life. Daily Mail will run a dream!

Currently it is but as 3Gb phones become standard and starting to see 4Gb phones think it is only a matter of time before they start to struggle on 2Gb. Would be straight on this if it were 3Gb but will hold on till they become available in the UK. Still, Saving £40 on a good phone is definitely hot from me :smiley:
So what happens when you lose your phone or it's stolen? You have to deal with £1000 phone bill, your social media being hit, all your online accounts being hacked.

Is this by Amazon or by the seller? Reason I ask if the phone plays up etc then Amazon point you to the manufacturer and the manufacturer points you back to Amazon.

Can't help feeling that you are just paying for a posh Smart Ultra 6. Either buy the su6 or spend £200+ with a faster processor..
rugman to winchman
22 Feb 161#41
Yep agree, but with dual sim (essential for me) and metal body I think it's worth the extra, and worth it over a Chinese import with little support either in software terms or refund/replacement if anything goes wrong
Thanks OP, ordered

Just a read a review - no Gorilla Glass!!! In this day and age. :confused:
Seems pretty good otherwise but that would seriously put me off.

The s5 might be better, but you've linked to a single review and its conclusion is "ok, with a couple of compromises because of the great pricing" rather than bad. All the other reviews I've seen are positive.

does anyone know where i can get a reasonably priced phone with at least 32gb of memory. the only ones that seem to be avail are the expensive phones like iphone or samsung. adding a memory card is no use as i have a lot of apps and alot of them cannot be saved to the card
jazzuk777 to vickyboy123
22 Feb 161#53
If you get a moto g 3rd gen, once it gets marshmallow which is any day now, then you'll be able to use an sd card just like on board storage. Or the moto x play which has already got marshmallow

I have moto g2. if i upgrade to marshmallow can i do same?

They enabled support for this on the 3rd gen version and the moto x play so I would think so.
Really surprised this doesn't support OTG. I didn't even know any phone was made without the ability to use the usb.
Apart from the OTG I'm happy with the features but if I'd known before buying, I wouldn't have ordered one.
newuserant to pat-w
24 Feb 16#60
can you explain what is so good about OTG? what would I use it for?
I'm just a standard phone user, and having just ordered this phone, wondering what I'm missing out on. thanks for your help.

This phone is mint, got mine yesterday
The build is quality
Just waiting for the case to come from China, shame it's so new (only been launched about 4 weeks ago), but more accessories to follow no doubt
Well please for the money, was holding out for a dual sim Moto X Play (from amazon france etc), but for £80 less, this is a great alternative
The fingerprint scanner is neat and works well.
Screen quality is great
Love it

Quick look indicates the M8 has better features.. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/huawei-honor-5x-3069-vs-htc-one-m8-1357

They have it with vr headset and 80 pound worth of gameloft credit it's out if stock at the moment. But they will have a sale in the next few days
