been looking at this phone for my son
It's either this phone
P9 lite from EE (£140)
or Moto G4 from tesco £149 (have £20 Clubcard)
some people have been struggling unlocking these and according to other comments on the other posts most eBay sellers can't unlock the Huawei one's so are using the DC unlocker program
Can anyone who has this phone confirm what the UI is like as I've read it can be a bit laggy?

considering to replace this dire Lenovo

If it was the p9 lite at that price this would be scorching. I only buy 30 max off ebay got a right bargain z1 compact. Looking for a cat 6 lte phone as my mast is bound to be upgrading soon to lte a will jump on the first p9 lite thays under a ton. Vodafone is free unlock to payg sim owners with a chargable call in last 3 months. Visit http://www.vodafone.co uk/nuc and fill the form in

​Unbelievable how everything has timing even people's opinion. You didn't post on the weekend buddy

Missus has this phone, word of warning, her years old Sony M2 out performed this. :disappointed:

anybody know can this be sim unlocked??

This or Sony Xperia XA

This or the smart ultra 6

How does this compare to the 2GB Moto 4? (apart from small difference in price after unlocking). Not sure which to go for

had for about 6 months and find the battery fine on mine ...people walk around with GPS on WiFi on and screen brightness at full you just need to learn to optimise any phone to get a full day out of a battery . I also find the camera very good ..yes I don't think you are going to get great photos on any phone in the dark with little flashes they have on phones . overall very happy with my p8 lite i would snap up at this price .

Only comment I can make on battery life is that it's better than the iPhone 5S it replaced. Charge it every day but it gets quite a hammering.

Can unlock Vodafone handsets for free now anyway :smile:

No bother

Its very frustrating that the battery is so poor as I cant fault the phone otherwise.
Marshmallow is slightly better than Lollipop for battery life but its still very poor.
Its also very slow to charge .

I have one of these.
Its an excellent phone except for the battery life which is appalling .
The battery is only 2200 mAh and I barely get a day out of it with minimal use.

Sorry. My mistake. I thought you were talking about the moto g which has 2gb ram.

To answer your question. I'd nearly always take the device with the most RAM if prices are equal.

i posted the same deal week ago it was cold

Even with the extra 1GB of RAM on the P8? All prices currently comparable on deals Ive found

​i bought one previously from Vodafone, and was locked. Vodafone startup screen, apps etc. someone previously posted a guide to unlock which I followed. was like four quid.

agree with the comments on the camera. it's a little weak, but then you aren't spending premium money.

lol, posted last week and the week before

anyway of getting around the £10 top up

Anyone know how this compares to Moto G4 ?

Yeah it's a decent phone , the camera was alright , capable of an okay picture but struggled quite a bit with too much or too little light but for under a £100, you cant go wrong

Thanks.

​No, mine was from CPW and was unlocked.

I got an unlocked one from carphonewarehouse and it was fairly simple to update to emui4/ marshmallow. Not sure if it works for a network locked one though.

I've had it for a year. No regrets, as fast as the day I bought it. A little disappointed with the camera, colours a bit insipid in daylight. But then again I'm fussy.

Most likely locked to Voda, £9.50 to unlock on eBay

good budget phone

Its good price for specs wise. However not sure it will be locked or unlocked. Heat added though.

Good price.. Heat added :smiley:
Guess it ll be locked to Vodafone and would need unlocking. Correct me if wrong.

Yep, good price for a decent phone - its no Samsung or iPhone beater but for sub £100 you cant go wrong.

Octa core and 2GB RAM good deal have some heat mate
