Might be the best sim-free deal at this moment for LG G5
£5.25 cashback with TopCashBack

Just to make it clear as it seems that I keep getting bashed for something that I did not post.
My initial title was strictly for the SIM FREE PHONE, the title was "LG G5 Gold @metrophone for 459."
The staff from hotukdeals, edited my post, changed pretty much everything in terms of title and image, the only thing that was left is just the description.
Why they did it, probably to get some money for it in case someone is going for the contract side.

I would appreciate if the ones that vote cold to explain why, I need to understand the process that made you vote cold.

Because you can't add up.

You've screwed up the title, so once people check the Maths they will down vote this deal. £34.99 x 24 = £839.76. If the phone is SIM free £459 then that's a different deal. Decide which deal you're promoting and stick one in the title or try and get your title right, it's what 'sells' your deal to the hot voters. Wrong title, confusing deal = cold.

Hot price, but don't fancy the phone

24x34.99=459 hmm I am sure equation is wrong, should be 24x34.99£ or 459£ phone only

Agreed. OP - recommend just showing sim only price as people may freeze you for the error/confusion. Hot deal on sim only.

Wow, Even Cheaper than the £499.00 Amazon deal?

Cheap sim only price but title needs sorting out otherwise it won't get that hot.

Yup great price OP but confusing title change to "LG G5 (Gold) sim only £459"

Sort the title out...makes no sense whatsoever

Voted hot. Best deal I've seen on this so far.

Op, you should post a Sim free version of this deal too. £459.

23 Mar 16#14
excellent deal, this is for the sim free phone though. The deal you posted adds to £839.76 24 X £34.99 but the sim free price is £459. You need to change the title to reflect this otherwise some people may vote cold.

Hmmm... Internal battle going on. This or the xiaomi mi5. Hmmm...

I've seen the Mi5 Pro but reading different opinions and the after care is questionable.

This. The mi5 is really slow for some reason

So tempted at this price. If they were throwing in the B&O earphones, would have snapped it up. Just holding out to see if any better deals pop up and what Virgin will offer on the 1st April with the Free 32" Tv.

Re-edit it and make sure it says sim free.

Great price for a great phone that hasn't even been released yet, if it had the B&O add on with it I'd have snapped it up and lived with the fact it's gold...

So you pay £15.8 for the service? isn't that too much?

GSM Arena posted a stellar review for the mi5. On par or better than the Galaxy S7. Check it out.
I agree with you on the lack of customer service or authorised retailer/service in the EU for the Xiaomi. However I never had an issue with a phone ever - there's not much to go wrong with them really.

Xiaomi Mi5 is a good phone but the microphone quality is not great.
So tempting... If it were here now I'd buy. I spent some time researching and lost interest due to the delay in it being available but my interest is back. As I thought, looks to be a great phone.
Cheers for the link.

Personal opinion ...this. I like the dual screen concept for one. Price it's better too.

This looks great, but the upcoming htc 10 looks very promising too.. Sometimes really great Android phones out atm.
drbrainsol
24 Mar 16#36
Could you please elaborate? I haven't seen this mentioned until now. I was already aware of the microphone quality which doesn't bother me at all considering that it's half the price of the s7 and almost £200 less than the G5.
The G5 doesn't convince me for some reason... Not sure why. I think LG are trying too hard to be innovative and they end up introducing features "normal" users would not normally need. I never found myself wanting a camera grip for my phone for example.

Go to YouTube and search for mi 5 speed test. Compare it to the s7 in the video.

24 Mar 16#38
The Mi5 in the video is the 1.8ghz,3gb ram version its not the Pro 2.15ghz,4gb ram version which isnt even out yet.The 32gb S7 edge costs £640 the 32gb Mi5 costs £240. I dont mind if its a little slower if im saving £400 haha....

24 Mar 16#39

Bare in mind the black version is not out yet and its a tenner for delivery.

Be careful where you purchase a Mi5 from, always check out feedback on the importer first as some will look like they have the best offer but will leave you high and dry and out of pocket when things go wrong.
