I went from one plus one to nexus 5x recently. Felt like a mssive upgrade. Stable software and the fingerprint sesnsor my favourite bits.

I purchased on contract at £15 per month

Is it worth £200 ?

Can someone post the link to the £10 off £100 spend please? I can't find it.

flubit brings the price down to 194.28 for the 32gb version at present so ordered from them

​Flubit gave me £199.99 when it was at £214 on Amazon so hopefully they'll drop a little again for you...

​Now £209. 99 via Smart Tech but again go via Flubit and should be less than £200

Please advise i'm having trouble deciding on a new phone son says Sony m5, Im thinking Samsung Galaxy 5 but now this has arrived. I love taking photos and would like it to replace my Lumix tz20 camera!

But am i asking too much of a phone in the £200 area. I have the THL Pro 6 which has done me proud for 2 years at £80!.. Please guys help me out Thanks :smiley:

​Haven't got much time but I can say my P8 is still running Lollipop but I gave the H7 to my gf and it had an official OTA update to Marshmallow a few weeks back. Keep a watch out on vMall the Honor 7 drops to £209 on there quite often... And sometimes with freebies!

Can you tell me where I can pick up the op2 for less than £200 please

Now down to £212, (by Smart Tech Electronics) but go via Flubit & should finally be below £200

haha it's funny you should mention the honor 7. the more i think about the p8 the more I think the honor 7 would be more suited to me. the only issue is I cant find a reasonably pried honor 7 but can find a reasonably priced p8 & op2
Ideally i'd like a metal bodied phone, good camera at least 3gb ram & rear fingerprint scanner.
the p8 outweights the op2 in terms of design & the metal body but the op2 has an extra gb of ram & finger scanner (albeit front one)
the honor 7 on the other hand offers a rear finger scanner, metal body (even if not as "sleek" and "elegant" as the p8) and better camera (on paper) than the p8.
the op2 appeals as its very good specs for the price & it would be a change from emotion ui (have been using huawei for the past 2/3 years) which ii've kinda gone off (though launchers are available to fix that).

i can pick up a p8 and op 2 in the 150-200 bracket if i'm quick but i can't seem to find an honor 7 under 200. Its trying to figure out how much more the honor 7 is worth paying for. or should I let the p8 & op2 pass & hold out for an honor 7 that hopefully will fall below 180

.... is there a marshmallow update available ota for both the p8 & the honor 7?

​Being honest mate the P8 is almost perfect, the camera for me is on par with the iPhone 6s, lots of detail and the colours have good contrast, low light performance is nice too. I don't play games but can say everything else including web browsing, YouTube, instagram, snapchat etc etc has zero lag.

I would however recommend the Honor 7, it was the phone I had before this... I only picked the P8 up due to CPW having it for £150. The Honor 7 has a slightly faster processor, fingerprint scanner, same sort of build quality and for me the most important - a much better battery. However - Camera is 20mp and you can get more detail out of certain scenarios cause of this BUT low light performance does suffer due to a lack of ois and it's a tiny bit fatter. Still It's the best budget phone I've had.

I have no experience of the OP2 unfortunately but loved the OPO when it was relevant. Prefer the UI, Oxygen OS is much better than EMUI and closer to stock in my opinion but with Nova or similar you get a comparable experience.

If you need any more info from my experience with the P8 let me know.

i'm thinking of getting a p8 but just not sure. swinging between that & the op2. would ideally like a finger scanner but prefer the metal body of the p8 over the build of op2.
how has the p8 been as a phone, any lag, how the camera? i had the p8 lite but lots of lag

Currently £213 fulfilled by Amazon, just submitted a flubit 'demand' so let's see if they can beat that, could bite if they do. The battery life and lack of fingerprint scanner on my P8 are doing my head in... :/

really good phone

To add to the the previous reply, I have been using my OP2 since October, and before the Android M upgrade, I was hating the fingerprint bugs, and dual sim issues.
They failed to fix the bug where one sim just stops catching signals.
After the upgrade it feels awesome. The phone is a lot more fluid and faster, fingerprint sensor is now very responsive and I have moved to using only one sim. The phone is a bit heavy for my liking, but the great battery life makes up for it. Overall, I would recommend it, even though I am bored of it.

Honor 7 vs this?

He never said it didn't. :wink:

Oneplus three has 6gb ram

Looks like it has gone up to £269.49.

Hate to say this but battery life is the worst I have ever used, I'm about to send it back.

Seems sensible from a company perspective. 6Gb is ridiculous

It is quite usable one handed, especially if you go for the sandstone back. That is one of the things I require for a phone, and the reason I never use my Nexus 6 and sold my iPhone 6+. It is one of the things nice about both phones and I don't have massive fingers so it should apply for most. TBH the OP2 isn't as premium as a top flag ship but is kind of in between. It certainly feels nice in the hand and not as cheap as most other phones, it is also quite heavy (but not too much) so that adds to the premium feel.

can get it from a seller locally for 175
torn between that & the huawei p8 -_-
does it feel obtrusive in hand? i found the su6 just too big and the fact it was light and plastic wasnt great. or des it still feel premium?

Don't bother, my Z3 was updated to Marshmallow and it's behaving worse than when it was on Lollipop. Quite a few bugs that haven't been fixed yet.

16Gb though compared to this deals 32Gb.

​i still really like it. the new Marshmallow update has made it really nice as the beta wasn't that good. you can buy them directly from Amazon too now which is nice. I'm not sure it might be better waiting a month of so to see if price drops now. if I hadn't got a s7 edge as needed unlimited data on 3 and contact was due I'd still use it as my daily phone. It was the only android phone I had which lasted me a day until got my s7 edge. it actually has bigger battery then the 3 too and much bigger then the 5X.

I'm sorry - but while I'm a Nexus fan - the 'upgrade' in this particular phone is minimal, really. All (mostly) software which is these phones strengths. Hardware alone it should (easy) be a sub £200 phone for the 32GB version.

Cheaper at eGlobal Central UK @ £184.99. I bought my old Nexus 5 from there, was looking to get the 5X

Unless they just don't want to dent sales of the current one with people holding on for cheaper lower version.

reddit q&a session confrimed there will infact be NO 4gb ram version of the op3

'Superior-Deals', the seller, only has 12 feedback as a seller on Amazon and are a US company? Hmmmm.

this or the one plus 3

Hmmm i'm considering jumping to this, I love my Z2 but at this rate it's looking like it will never get Marshmallow..

thanks

Any views on this or the P9 lite? I'm very much a fan of stock Android but the battery life of the 5x definitely does concern me somewhat.

i'm thinking of going for the op2. how do you rate it as a phone especially now its almost a year old? battery? camera? any lag? on paper the spec look fab but that means nothing. if it had a metal body i'd jump straight in but now its a toss up between that and the huawei p8.

not a bad price. mine cost £225 from Argos with cashback. battery isn't great, but the phone is. I have a fast car charger so no issues for me

great deal and great phone, but very poor battery life.

Great phone, pure Android

deal or not deal ?
