great deal.but will abstain from voting as it's Archos, horrid awful company that throws it's customers in front of a bus at the earliest opportunity possible.

Pretty sure Archos are French...
Also, having owned a few of their products over the years, I can say with total confidence that you will end-up wanting to throw this against a wall. Don't put yourself through that. Archos devices are always relatively cheap and well-specced but the firmware/software is just atrocious. It's a shame really.

I don't think the lack of a fingerprint scanner would be the biggest concern with this phone...

On the surface, it seems like a lot of phone for £77. UK delivery is a big plus.
Android 5.1 might be an issue but I'm sure someone will find out if its due updates.
I know we'll get the usual 'can get 4Gb/64gb for few notes more from Hong Kong if you don't mind waiting 4 weeks & no warranty' etc
Heat from me

I had one of these and the bluetooth would not connect, Searching I found I was not the only one, NO help from Archos, went straight back.
Archos hasn't a good name regarding support so don't automatically expect upgrades to Android 6. Specs wise, the processor is probably the weakest aspect but I don't think anyone can heavily criticise at that price point.

People seem to want the latest, greatest devices for pocket change. So the people that are likely to moan about it not having a fingerprint scanner would complain that it's running a Mediatek MT6735P with an aging version of Android and only 16gb of internal storage and that Archos don't have a very good track record with their phones.
Personally, it's a cheap phone so you've got to expect not to have the best specs, and as was previously mentioned, it's from the UK so you get warranty. It's not for me but it's a cheap phone that might be just the right fit for someone.

agreed, however I would want the expected 70 odd quids worth of value
as a deal this certainly qualifies.
