This is a fairly new ZTE phone and sells for knocking on £200 on Amazon. Looks like 3 has the network exclusive in the UK and they're selling it for £129.99 on payg plus compulsory £10 top up - unless you're already a 3 customer.
And all 3 phones are unlocked and SIM-free.
It's in stock in stores and I bought a payg one yesterday, but appears to be only on contract at the moment online.
Seems like a pretty good deal for this midranger. It's got a 5.2 inch, edge to edge screen, thin metal body, dual SIM (well, two nano sims or one nano sim plus a microSD card), 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM.
The screen looks very good and the phone is pretty speedy. Only had it for a day, but the battery seems ok and looks like it will last at least 24-hours with moderate use between charges.
And, no, this is not the Blade V7 Lite. Or the V7 Max for that matter.
I hope they ordered enough, and it can be unlocked, and they drop the price by £30…!

Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, dual-SIM, 5.2" 1080, Octa-core, Marshmallow. Good deal if you can live without fingerprint.
If you into rooting and custom ROMs seems it's not widely available for V7 yet. Most info I could find relates to V7 Lite.

Just to let you know, the phone I bought from 3 is definitely unlocked, apparently all 3 phones are unlocked. I'm using it on Vodafone.
One thing worth pointing out is there is no NFC so no Android Pay.
And, according to reviews, ZTE has promised an update to Android Nougat. But the 3 phone has a 3 ROM - only shows in splash screen and a few 3 apps that can be uninstalled. Don't know if this will affect ZTE's plans to update to Nougat.

Pretty similar specs to the Infocus M560 that can be had on eBay for £80 (was £70 pre brexit) and it can take 2 Sims and MicroSd which is a bonus to many (and getting pretty rare nowadays)

I have the infocus m560 very nice phone. It was not 70 pre brexit I had it since April. It's always been around 79

Infocus M560 does not have 4G-LTE 800MHz so no O2/giffgaff
