Me too. Having all three cards is a rarity and I wouldn't want to go back to choosing between dual SIM or microSD and one SIM.

or if you ring three they should take card payment and post to you, not sure if there's a postage charge?or may be free Delivery!

Everything is all over the internet if you look for it. It has a slight lip sync lag, though I don't use the stock Youtube app so I've never seen it. The camera is decent, just not great in low light as it hasn't got OIS and Lenovo's image processing algorithms are not as advanced as those of Samsung, Google and the like.
I've taken some nice photos with the P2 though - to call it 'dreadful' is doing it a disservice.

Honour 6X maybe be preferably to the Moto G4, but the G5 plus will be worth the wait over this, especially if you prefer a smooth vanilla android experience over these cluttered Chinese interfaces. Also, the G5 plus has the same camera as the Galaxy S7 so if taking pics or videos is important to u, the G5 is a no brainer guys

I have just got this phone. Absolutely love it.

As i mentioned earlier there are some great videos on YouTube about the 6X and P2. The better camera sealed the deal for me and the battery life in the 6X is great. I'm only using 20-25% during my working day, my iPhone would be more than double that. EMUI just works well, don't fear it. There is a way to hide unwanted apps by pinching the screen which acts like an app drawer. On a related note Lenovo are apparently slow with updates where Huawei aren't so there should be more support moving forward.

The G5 Plus will be around £70 more than this. This then puts you into Honour 8 territory which i think is much better.

Does the P2 have a compass? I use my phone as SatNav when cycling which kills battery (so the P2's enormous battery appeals)

The amount of wallet friendly, good quality Android phones on the market these days is incredible.
I used to be a flagship buyer but i don't think you need to spend ridiculous sums anymore to get a great phone.
There's almost too much choice :-).
Good deal by the way.

12 Mar 17#21
your right... why spend 500 quid upwards when even half as much will get you fantastic phone... add a cheap Sim only deal and Samsung and Apple can jog on

To be fair to Samsung they have improved their budget offerings no end. You obviously pay a bit more for the name but last year's J5 is a very decent phone and it's £159 now.
Apple though, totally take the p!ss. Still, seems like there is a never ending list of posers that still buy their products even though they are insanely over priced.
dolanduck
12 Mar 17#23
Yep.
Literally no reason to buy the G5 or G5 plus, they're just not good value anymore.

The Honour 8 Pro is pegged for a Europe release next month, so that may push the price of the 8 down.
jrawlins28
12 Mar 17#26
I've heard that too. It's frustrating, in the US the Honor 8 has had quite a big price drop but we haven't seen it over here since the last offer on vmall. It's currently £319 on there, but I'm waiting for sub £200 before I bite ha

Love my honor 5x so I expect the 6x will be great, but I would never buy a phone from Amazon again. Last one arrived in one of those wraparound packages they use for books with a big lithium battery sticker on the outside. When i opened it up someone from Amazon delivery had been there first and nicked it. Amazon wouldn't reimburse without police report and the police didn't want to know. Caveat emptor.....

Depends what you want. The Moto G5 Plus is going to be around £260-280, has a smaller screen and a Gb less RAM...plus there's no NFC. It's a good phone, but the Honor 6X is packed with features for under £200.

How is it the P8 Lite 2017 is a better Phone than a supposedly more Technically advanced P9 Lite Phone?.
I don't get it ...

13 Mar 17#41
Don't worry, as this is a UK-sourced phone, it will be just like any other Android phone that's available in the UK. The only difference being that Huawei/Honor install their own version of Android called EMUI. If you don't like it, most of it can be 'neutralised' by installing a free third-party launcher like Nova/Action launcher from the G'Play store.

so would you recommend the 6x over the P2? I do use Snapchat a lot so would be using the camera a fair bit how's the processing speed as well

I have used the 6X and the P2. Now for my personal use both batteries lasted me a full day easily but couldn't get me through a second day, so despite the P2 having 20% more juice come 10pm it didn't matter. It is a great feeling never having to worry about your phone dying in the middle of the afternoon. The P2 has a nice screen and felt a bit more premium in the hand than the 6X but the 6X has a really great camera and felt faster to use and the fingerprint sensor (on the back which I like) was faster and more reliable. It isn't about either of these phones being "better", they are both solid devices that can do the job for 99% of the population without breaking the bank. But people will still rush out and sign up to 2 year contracts for iPhones and Galaxy S8s. Crazy really.

Some more tips, tricks & useful settings for the H6X that you may find useful...
Thinking about this one or Redmi Note 4, global version. It seems that Honor has a better cam and NFC, but Note 4 comes with dual band wifi and better battery. Both good options, depending what you need and how much you get a long with their version of Android.
faronwong
16 Mar 17#56
Battery life on 6x beats redmi note 4 as the hi silicon kirin 655 sips juice and one of the main.reasons I went for this was the SAR rates seemed lower than the Xiaomi whose phones are known to be very high in radiation

And for those wrestling with moto g5 v honor 6x here's a recent article by recombu
Please can you tell me the sar rates for the 6x, I can't find them anywhere?

I've had a look on there and I can't see it anywhere, sorry if I'm being a bit thick, sar is important to me could you please give me a link or the rates? Thanks
Really interested in this. Recently bought 2 x P9 lites before Christmas (from EE at £129.99 and then £169.99 with Beats headphones) and my wife and daughter really love them but price has now gone up to around £200 for these. Want to be able to use my own PlusNet SIM so can someone confirm 3 supply these unlocked? Also a comment mentions 2 year warranty but can't find anything on 3 website to back this up. Can this be confirmed?

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up. This with my PlusNet 1000 minutes, 2Gb of 4G and unlimited tests will do me great. Really enjoyed my Lumia 920 but time to move on as after 3 years still no major improvement for windows apps so moving back to Android.

Not sure on Honor 6x I enjoyed using phone, but now this morning suffered my 2nd corrupted memory card.
Got phone in March. Lost a lot valuable photos etc at a concert and then this morning happened again. Come up two errors sd card error and damaged sd card - corrupted memory card.
Now thinking is it device fault? Twice happened now?
Need phone reliable. Where do stand this? Anyone know could take back shop? Get different handset?
