Is this the honor lite version?

Ok so it's not just me then.

Just checked Nectar account - not been added to account

Did anyone who bought this phone get their Nectar card points added to their account?

I didnt want to say anything before I collected it but I messaged sainsburys on facebook saying how disappointed I was that mine got cancelled and people ordered after me and got theirs. after some moaning they agreed to send one to my parents local phone shop, water lane farnham. got it this morning, very pleased with it, getting used to the keyboard though :smile:

Just found... you can get app drawer in the settings :). No need for nova :wink:

I put google now on my Honor 7

Quite enjoying mine, I am a big fan of plain Android but actually don't mind this EMUI skin, it's got some handy features to be honest. e.g. double press volume down when it's screen is off and it'll quickly take a photo.

Processor / GPU feels comparable to Snapdragon 820 I had in my Lenovo ZUK Z2.

nice premium feel to it despite it being a finger print magnet :P

fingerprint reader is RAPID! love that.

Anyone got a recommended screen protector yet for this phone?

I've put mine on ebay

No more Trade section on here unfortunately - he'll need to list on alternative site like uk.lokal.com or elsewhere.

​Selling like this is not allowed on Hukd. put it up in Trade section please

I was on the fence... but having used it for a few days I do love it... but then Ive been living with the Vodafone ultra for months... :P..

Only thing that p's me off is the barclays app not working and the screen is a little too small... but will live with that for the speed increase and vastly improved camera.

Havent tried VR yet... must do that as want to see what its like. Any recommendations for an app?

Don't think so, it loses connection to the EE network (i.e. No service or emergency calls only)

Nothing to do with the Data Saver option on the phone?

I'm likely to return the phone as it's the easiest option.
The phone works ok, just more sensative with reception so drops network, I live in an old house with thick walls. The phone is fine if I leave the house by just a few yards.
I have cancelled my ebay sale of my Honor 7 so will continue using that.
When I spoke to EE they did offer to do a handset lend of another Honor 8 to test, they did mention the warranty which is 2 years with huawei, but I'm not going to sell to anyone on here as I can't be bothered with warranty issues.

I will buy for £200 plus postage if you want to sell? Although I don't know where I then stand with warranty

I will have to sell or send mine back, it drops connection in my house to the EE (4G) network, it works fine if I go 10 yards out of my house.
my Honor 7 which I've just sold on eBay managed to keep connection.
Gutted

I will give it to a relative but I haven't decided yet. Little_green's comment below is swaying me to at least give it a go, haven't taken out of the box yet. thanks again

i would strongly advise against selling for sth "better".
only better devices would be flagship ones which ofc come at flagship pries. this pohne for this price s a steal & you'd be hard pushed to find anything similar in spec for a remotely similar price.

Yeah, I suppose that's best if you feel that way. Are you goung to sell it?

Thanks for your reply about this. I'm in two minds about the phone - think it may be best to spend a bit more and get something with fewer compromises. thanks again

Sorry. the other launcher I had in mind was Google Now: play.google.com/sto…her

The only Xiaomi device I can think of that'll make a worthy-enough upgrade to this is the newly-released Mi6, but costs ~£350 at present.

Btw, some of EMUI's quirks can be reduced by installing a third-party launcher from the G'Play store, like Nova, Nova or Arrow.

What are people's thoughts on this phone esp camera, EMUI interface? Is it worth keeping or better to get a Xiaomi device?

Anyone no this having problems with anything 3d / VR related? Doesn't display it, can't find the bug anywhere else might be my hardware.

Just got 2 from Wakefield store so still about. Btw neither phone was for me, I picked them up for family members. I was told he following stores had 1 in stock

Monks cross
Darlington

Also worth noting stock can't be moved stores anymore

Doesn't work unless you have your sim in and connected to data...

Yeah, but much easier & safer using the bank's own app, than a web-browser on a phone or any other device.

Fair dos. I do like the reversibilty of it.

Hi all, just playing with mine now.

Firstly setup by nfc with my su6 disnt seem to work.

Also cant find EMUI 5 by checking updates. Any idea how I get this? Thanks

You can always use the web version to login, I personnally wouldn't login to my bank on my phone

To all who were interested:

Can't afford another phone at the moment and cant find anything better for the price so think I will give it a go... sorry!!

Decided one app not working is not the end of the world... will let you know if that changes.

Has various advantages over the old type - main ones are as follows (source):

"It’s small. The new port is half the width and one-third the height of a standard USB connector and only slightly larger than Apple’s Lightning or the micro-USB connectors.

It’s reversible. Unlike older USB cable, it doesn’t matter which side is up with a Type-C plug; you can insert it either way.

It’s fast. Type-C ports can transfer data using the zippy speeds of the latest version of the USB protocol — up to 10 gigabits per second.

It’s powerful. The new connector can provide up to 100 watts of power, enough to power a laptop.

It’s flexible. Via adapters, users will be able to connect older devices to Type-C ports, even devices that use non-USB technologies, like DisplayPort, VGA and Ethernet."

Thanks,
Why do they have to change these things? Think of the billions of type B that will be in landfill in a few years.

It uses the newer Type-C connector (which are now standard on most, if not all, the newer smart phones) rather than older micro-USB (Micro-B) connector.

Say what now?

Thanks, should give some hope to those of us who missed out on the £99 LG G4 deal.

P.S. phoned my local & no G4's in stock unfortunately.

Hi
Hope this will help some of you. I decided to take the initiative to have a look at the Phoneshop by Sainsbury's store locator and called the one nearest to me to see if they have any phones in stock. The nearest one to me is the one in Wakefield at Trinity Walk. They had 3 or 4 Honor 8's in stock. I have been and purchased a couple for myself and my wife so there maybe a couple left.. The staff there are really helpful and friendly but they have told me that the Phoneshop is closing 20th May. You might want to call ahead of time and check stock and reserve one, that's what I did.

Cant believe that this uses a different charger. Now I have to look for another charger and cable to keep at my fathers when I'm staying over. Most annoying.

Blue oos.

Now 279 from vmall

Yeah, most likely, as my EMUI 4 Huawei P8 works fine with the Barclays app. Would've also been very disappointed if I went for this & found the app not working. Have been considering other, newer Huawei/Honor models, so will have to look elsewhere now if the app doesn't work on them either.

I would be interested in purchasing it from you. I live in London and every now and then I also go to Portsmouth.

Let me know if you are interested.

One of these has just been listed for 300 in my area. Box still sealed. Wonder if they grabbed it in this deal.

Just opened mine. Surprised to see it comes with a Honor branded gel case.

Lots of interest thanks... will let those interested know tomorrow...

I'd be interested in it too babbler

Think I have fixed it

mike1212 - cant pm you back as you have it disabled.

PMs sent to those who PMd me...

Also interested but based in Liverpool. Where down south as I do travel with work

roughly where in the south? really gutted I missed this! Id buy for what you paid and happily collect too if its no good, and if you aren't too far away? I've PM'd you

May be emui 5 issue then?

But also dont like the touch buttons take up the screen - unlike the ultra where its not part of the screen...

didnt realise how small the screen would look in comparison.

Yes I know I should have looked more into it but it had rave reviews etc... and didnt have time to look in a shop!

​Then looks like I'm lucky? Because right now I have a Honor 7 and Barclays / Barclaycard works without any problems.

Down south... and yes I would sell if I got my money back... I believe I can return to store if not...

Barclays replied and are not planning on fixing it (basically no ETA). Jeez.

Now need to find a similar phone with good camera that works with barclays! Possibly even a bit bigger than this one... may have to bite the bullet and spend £400 on the Oneplus... or wait for price to drop in June when new one comes out...

Where abouts are you in the uk? Would you possibly sell it instead of returning it?

Santander, tesco bank, tsb, nationwide and ​halifax all work on mine.

I just got my cancellation emails in-2 days to late

It's been discussed in various forums and Barclays have been aware of it since at least 2014. Virtually every banking app works apart from Barclays on any Huawei smart phone.

androidforums.com/thr…26/

Damn wanted the LG but had cancellation email :(. Would have been ideal replacement.

Got mine today, delivered by DPD. Very impressed with it for the money. I ordered fairly early on, paid by credit card, so it does seem entirely luck of the draw if people got one or not. I'm sure there will be further deals later this week or next for those who missed out.

22.40 order, debit card, nectar number, cancelled with no email although they said they sent one

​These idiots just reply to my email with question "what's going up with my order..."

"Unfortunately we are now out of stock of the Honor 8 Blue.
Your order will be cancelled and you will not be charged."

Worst company ever.. seriously.

Just received my order, 32gb/4GB RAM from Brightstar 20:20 UK Ltd according to the shipping label.

Many thanks to the op. £50 cheaper than Hong Kong.

Are you aware that you are dealing with a company called Brightstar Ltd and not Sainsbury's. No one on this forum has received either a dispatch email or a cancellation email.

I don't think it will be surname mine begins with B. I have had a response from sainsburys stating my order was delayed due to having a different delivery address compared to my billing address. I am not sure if this could be the reason for others?

Apparently they said I have had an email cancelling my order it was sent at 13:47 yesterday, I have checked my junk emails and its not there so no idea.

I had NO EMAILS at all from sainsburys... just kept checking account...

B... so likely.. I did think that yesterday...

could be surname in alphabetical order and limited to one phone per account. My surname begins with C

Mine was just delivered, I ordered at 22:45 with no nectar card and paid with Barclay card CC

has anyone actually had a cancelled email?

if anyone is trying to find a pattern -- 22:17 order confirmation -- No Nectar card - paid via Barclays credit Card - -Order Cancelled

Your parcel has been delivered and signed for :smile:

Delivery in the next 45mins... thanks rejector1 for the deal.

that has been out of stock for a while.

or maybe debit card not credit card,

​That's what I was thinking too. I did put my nectar number and my phone is on its way.

​Nope, used my nectar card - got nothing. Worst experience ever till today...

Maybe people that used nectar cards got preferred? my partner used her nectar card to get the points and ordered fairly late .

DPD tracking:

"Your estimated delivery date is Tuesday 9 May 2017" :smile:

sale now "official"... nothing stands out apart from maybe the LG G5?

phoneshopbysainsburys.co.uk/pay…tml

Cool looking case... I have to agree with one review however... covers with the windows tend to be dust magnets on the window itself!

Still thinking about screen protector. Waiting to see if my case comes with one... some spiegens do.

Mine is out for delivery today.

I just bought the official blue flip case for anyone interested. Paid £13.34 from Amazon direct.

No need to buy a screen protector because I think it comes with one pre-installed.

​Why it not working? That's quite strange to e honest.

May return mine. Screen a lot smaller than last phone. Also need banking app to work. :disappointed:

Don't have sky so can't confirm

It will show up around 1am

Does sky go?

Ok barclays app doesn't work on this phone. Anyone got it working?? I need that app...

Worked it out. Needed ota not over WiFi.

How are you updating. Mine is on 4 and says no update available?

Smaller than the ultra 6. Takes some getting used to smaller screen... Other than that good so far.
Accidently clicked next before transferring files from old phone however...

I am also upgrading from a SU6.
Have delayed my delivery until Thursday though.

Yip arrived this afternoon...thanks OP.

Just trying to get it to update to Nougat/EMUI 5 now

Arrived here. Very happy, thanks to the OP.

I ordered around 11pm, credit card, no problems the whole way.

Similar here! I've gone SU6 -> ZUK Z2 -> SU6 -> Honor 8, looking forward to getting home as it's arrived :smile:

Got my confirmation email at 22.29 Sunday, paid via debit card, no nectar points

Dispatch email 22.59 yesterday, delivered 9.15 this morning

V impressed with the phone so far, replacing my Vodafone SU6

So I'm expecting delivery tomorrow, it's been given a tracking number but nothign on DPD site. Order says : complete.

Anyone phoned though in this situation? Am I waiting for nothing here? Or is it going to show up?

Probably why they are closing down... Fire sale next week on remaining stock?

Mine cancelled too - ordered at 22.18.

Sorry to hear about the people missing out. I thought about ordering this myself last night but held off. Now I'm glad I did, because I'd have done the same as some others on here and bought a case etc as well. Pretty bad way of doing things if you have no idea about your own stock levels, and it seems that the company couldn't care less from what others have said. Not a great way to conduct yourselves as an organisation

Gutted cancelled and mine was a 10pm order conformation

​Don't think so, most of us won't see it anyway because it's useless company... I guess I will cancel it and don't waste my time.

order canceled .................bull sh................

I wonder if I put postage as next day and paid extra if it would have come today...

Then again uk review

I've purchased Spigen cases for years, and they're always great quality and look good. I've tried a few Honor 8 cases, but this is easily the best to date. Fits great, and protects the phone well. Highly recommended!

Are Lenovo and Huawei not Chinese as well?

Damn... Thanks for that... May need to get a different one but this one despatched... :disappointed:

I ummed and ahhed and ordered at 22.33. Order says Complete but that's it, I've not heard anything since...

​I'm in the same boat. I'm still hopeful it's awaiting DPD scanning it.

Thought that might be the case with their recent sales... Might be worth keeping an eye on their site...

I phoned and they will not be getting more stock as Sainsbury's are pulling out of the mobile phone game and they are closing. Anyhow, my order is "out of stock" but she confirmed that pre authorisation is taken in case of cancellations etc. There system checks several times a day for 48hrs of stock changes so I said to not remove my order just yet as cancellations always happen, don't know where I am in the pecking order though.

:s doesn't sound promising....my order says "complete" in my account, but DPD don't have the tracking details (yet)

I ordered about 0930 and still showing as processing :disappointed: I wonder if it's because I ordered two.

just got mine cancelled-even through I ordered just after 21:00...

Nothing on my order... what a joke.

On Amazon.com, some people are saying it's not a tight fit and a little loose meaning it could scratch your phone. Maybe add a transparent skin on the back to protect it.

22.58 completed, 23.14 processing

Shouldn't we be getting a email saying that are order has been cancelled I only knew it got cancelled as i checked the hotukdeals comments looks like the lenovo p2 for my birthday.

posted :smile:

I ordered at 22:18 and I have th tracking number from DPD.

Two orders, first at 22:20 completed, second 22:37 processing.

Well the scallywags should give us all Galaxy S8s instead as compensation, or a £500 gift voucher for amazon, this is REALLY unacceptable.

Been checking every now and then.... the phone is not even listed anymore...

To anyone who's order is still processing:

They had very limited stock, your order will be cancelled if it hasn't gone through already, I just had that happen to myself. I rang to complain but the company is closing down in two weeks, so there's no point. Sorry for the bad news.

or you can just buy a micro usb to usb c adapter :smile:

I ordered mine at 2325, still hasn't been cancelled, but says No Stock under the status.

Ordered this to replace the Moto G (1st gen) that I'm still using as the 8gb of internal storage is a bit small, annoying to have to delete apps to make space for others. I bought the ZTE Nubia Z7 Max for £80, but too scared to use it in case it's full of Chinese malware.

Think I'll go for a lenovo P2 if this gets cancelled.

Thanks op ordered at 10:14 still in progress though :thinking:

As do I, and the camera on the p2 is more than adequate for most of the situations I need it for. Nothing like the scaremongering reviews it gets. Just saying it's worth considering if you missed out in this.

Mine is still processing from 22.40 order time but hoping it will go to preparing for dispatch soon :grin:

Mines the same

Yes, just seen that. It's DPD so you can select the 1 hour slot you want it delivered as soon as you get the tracking.

Sainsbury's Groceries and Phoneshop By Sainsbury's are technically two different companies. Phoneshop by Sainsbury's is run by Brightstar UK limited.

Their stock check and ordering systems are absolutely terrible. I've ordered 3 times from PbS in the past and they have cancelled my order every time, requiring me to wait for a week for the funds to be returned to my bank.

Mine showing awaiting dispatch, ordered at 22:45
I think I read on the sainsbury website that they use DPD?

Just checked again now, my order is showing as complete, the tracking link goes to DPD however not showing yet

I have a DSLR but I only use it for special occasions like weddings. 99% of the time, I use my mobile camera (S6, LG G4 and Galaxy Note 4).

You will have to wait until DPD actually scans it. It's probably sitting in the warehouse waiting to be picked up.

I think it's Yodel.

Same here , due delivery by tomorrow

Anyone know what courier sainsburys will use for the next working day (which was Tuesday) under the £2.50 option which was deducted at checkout? Need mine by 3pm tomorrow otherwise gonna have to wait a whole week for it :'(

Anyone who missed out here, seriously should go for the Lenovo p2. I would not consider it to be a one trick pony (insane battery) that I read some comment on this thread. It's quick, great screen, micro SD and dual SIM compatible, and great build quality. Only slight let down is the camera in low light, but if I want great photos I generally take my DSLR out with me.

Just got my confirmation email from DPD :wink:

My 22.58 order is awaiting dispatch but 23.14 order is still processing. Someone said their 23.08 order is showing as no stock. I am guessing most orders after 23.05 ish will be cancelled.

Tracking my order does say no results on dpd however :disappointed:

It is such **** that it's not first come first serve with the order times. They really need to send an email explaining what happened to those who had their orders cancelled

Mine still says processing, really need it to arrive tomorrow!

Except I bought just around the time of the post so seems random?

Got my DPD number too :smile:

anyone know if in store yet?

Excellent...it's on its way...

They also had at least one stock of the Xbox One if you check that thread I linked at least one lucky person received the item as ordered.

only annoying thing is the charging cable... need to buy a few of this version now :P

​U don't need band 20 with Vodafone?

same here, and i'm in Stoke too. They could have drove mine straight round!

​A bit like United Airlines.

it's tracking for me also. Go down the page and click " Where has my parcel been + "

08 May 2017 22:21
Stoke
Your parcel is on its way

But they did have stock of the Honor 8. The problem appears to be that instead of first come first served, it was last come first served!

​No chance

Can't believe that Sainsbury's are pulling this again - this sounds familiar to the whole Xbox One debacle when Sainsbury's were selling stock online they never had in the first place:

hotukdeals.com/dea…094

Not saying I'm bitter or will no longer shop with them or owt :stuck_out_tongue: but they really need to change their policies or stock checking tech if they keep selling items they no longer have. I tried explaining this to a really unhelpful lady on the online chat found on the Sainsbury's site but she literally fobbed me off by disconnecting the chat halfway through. Give 'em hell if you have the time.

Well...progress of sorts. DPD now showing:

"Your DPD parcel number XXX
We've received your order details, and we're expecting your parcel shortly"

My order was accepted before "out of stock" and payment processed, however in the account status it says "no stock" I wonder if they take orders like 5% over their stock knowing some will cancel.

Edit: purchase email came through at 23:08

that one from their website

Stores like this already have tracking numbers on their system ready for when DPD collect from their depot. If the system has allocated a tracking number it's not a guarantee it will be dispatched until you get an email saying it's been dispatched, so I wouldn't assume that you'll get the item just because you have a tracking number.

Bought this case:

amazon.co.uk/Hua…gen

are you just sending it to [email protected]phoneshopbysainsburys.co.uk or a compaint one?

Hoping we will be able to track it in morning...

I ordered two phones, one for me and one for my brother. 1st order 22.58 now Awaiting despatch. 2nd order 23.14 still Processing

Mine is now cancelled so sending an angry email as my case for it arrived today!

I have a genuine gel case which was added for free to my wifeys honor 8 and left unopen, from vmall.

Won't be buying a case until I have the phone in my hand.

Wow was one of the first to order, and they cancelled mine. Ordered 3 different cases for it as well.

Yes, there's no difference. Found out many years ago when I wanted to send my ebay customers a dispatch confirmation but didn't know whether to use dispatch or despatch.

ordered one just after 21:00 but still processing, why is it not 1st come 1st served...?

Anyone looking for a case I went for This instead of the spigen

You learn something every day...

grammarist.com/spe…ch/

Rang them just before they closed at 8pm and they confirmed delivery will be tomorrow and gave a tracking number.

Ordered at 21:51 check status cancelled do we get a email to confirm this, order my case turns up tomorrow.

Awaiting Despatch for me too. :smile:

Yes they are Chinese companies.

Mine still says processing (22.40 order) :disappointed: my case and protector for it already arrived lol hope it is isnt cancelled

"Awaiting Despatch" :smile:

Is that the same as dispatch? (Quote is my order status).

click "View" and it will take you to a a DPD tracking link. Won't track until DPD driver scans it onto lorry.

should be an amount pending and if they have actually dispatched the phone, money will be debited in a day or two.

Thanks for the heads-up on this OP. I was holding out for the Lenovo P2, but picked this up at this price.

Let's see if Sainsbury's 'honors' this....

So order status is Complete, but still no money taken from my account, that's weird.

I've not heard either way. Says order completed when I log in, but not had dispach confirmation.

oi lads, I'm popping off to shrongsbongs today, any chance it'll be present? cheers x

Android... Reskin it?

very disappointed Sainsburys couldn't answer why it wasn't 1st come 1st served.

from dpd website..

When does a parcel start being tracked?
Please note that parcel tracking will not begin until the parcel is scanned upon collection. Drivers with a handheld terminal will immediately make a collection scan. Other parcels may only be shown as collected once they’ve been scanned at the courier depot.

So it could start tracking overnight.

Thanks for that... do you have a case / protective screen? Reviews on amazon seem to say on most the glass screen that they dont fit the whole screen? Want a good one... via prime for delivery with the phone tomorrow!

Thinking of the speigen case as well... too many to chose!

I cancelled my order now so there may be one left! I remembered how crap emui is. :grin:

The UK reviews appears more positive than the USA reviews. Maybe they received a bad batch.

Well done to those of you who bagged one, easily the best phone for that money. Compared to the Lenovo P2 the battery life isn't as good but it is perfectly fine and better than phones like the Galaxy S7 Edge. The P2 is OK but it is a bit of a one trick pony and everything (and I mean everything) beyond the battery life is inferior to the Honor 8. I have had my H8 since January have really enjoyed it, however I like to change my phones frequently so I will be either getting the Honor 8 Pro or seeing if the OnePlus 5 is decent - or maybe there will be a Honor 9 soon as well.

Guess it's not first come first served.

Mine was ordered 22.58 and they have already dispatched it.

if only it was in white. want to buy it for my mum.

Damn, missed it

​EMUI 5.0 is much much better. I have the Honor 8 and before the update I always used Nova Launcher. but since getting EMUI 5 I haven't felt the need.

any chance to get one instore?

As far as I know you can now choose a stock like ui with app drawer but still, you have the choice to use 3rd party launcher like Nova. All the rest is all right, I had a P9 and loved it. And I'm not the average user. :smile:

Ordered at 22.45, still shows "processing"

Dual sim but can't have Sd card plus dual sim.

From trusted review.

"On the left edge you’ll find a nano-SIM tray and a microSD slot that can instead be used as a second nano-SIM slot if you don’t require the storage expansion."

Read more at trustedreviews.com/hon…iew

Ordered at 22.58 and mine says processing.

This is a significantly superior phone to the Lenovo P2.

I have it, and I absolutely love it.

Ordered at around 11pm and I've also got the 'no stock' message next to the order number.

Awaiting the dreaded cancellation email...

Bet she doesn't, bet she moans like f**k like the rest of 'em.

Ordered and paid but given an order status of 'no stock'...

Ordered one a bit earlier, for my girlfriends birthday. Miserable cow better like it.

Three shopsor online shop

Where is unlocked p2 £199

exactly same here!

HW for phones and MIFI, Lenovo computers, not so sure about phones, maybe their daughter company motorola is a better option

Typing this on my Lenovo P2, bought in January after owning the Honor 8 since the vmall special listed on here late last year.

For me, the Lenovo is a brilliant phone, the Honor is sat in the kitchen, unused apart from 5 days in January before I found the battery life unacceptable.

Overnight battery would run down excessively, and charging daily is why I got a new phone to replace my brilliant Oppo find 7.

Edit: also bought a second Lenovo for junior after his ultra 6 went Pete tong.
He absolutely loves his new phone, dad did good!

damn missed this :-(

Was about to buy and then noticed it is out of stock :disappointed:

Also wanted to get but oos!

out of stock

I gave up with my S8 plus when I saw it was half pink! This has happened time and time again with every Samsung I have owned, not to mention they ALL get screen burn. Looking at alternatives now instead.

OOS now

Omg, was just about to splash out £320 on one from honor vmall shop! Glad I didn't order this morning as I planned. Actually wanted the blue, but their site only had it in white.

THanks OP, saved me £120 and got my preferred colour! :grin:

OOS just now at sainsburys now :-(

Thanks Jetset1981, just realised after i posted the link

That's the lite version. Interior in pretty much every aspect.

​Barclaycard went fine.

It's a completely different model... And more likely private import from China, so good luck with warranty or whatever.

​The p2 has huge battery life and an amoled screen. The Honor has a better camera. I'd say get whichever is more important to you.

​thats not the same

it is not the same phone, it is Lite version

Not the same, significantly worse phone in almost every way.

Rejected my Santander card but accepted Lloyds debit.

Don't need a new phone, happy with my Galaxy Note 4 but couldn't resist for £199. The dual sim slot will come in useful.

Oh my god.. unbelievable price. Just bought it, now I need to sell my Honor 7...

on sale here on ebay, similar price

ebay.co.uk/itm…064?var=&hash=item3ae30d5970:m:mBmH3tke7MNsUUmU0ys-bNA

What's the syncing problem

is this single or dual sim phone ?

Very good points. I am gonna try the honor 8 :smile: it's going to be a massive upgrade to what I've had in the past anyways

Screen is also plagued by red tint issues, including mine.

Honor 8 and most other LCD phones in 2017 have a better screen than the S8 for that reason.

​My wife use to have an Honor phone and you could go into the setup and select which apps it uses the power saving on (had to disable it for WhatsApp and a couple of others and it worked fine after).

No band 20?

Same I have p9 which even though has less ram apparently has better processor and slightly better overall performance. Amazing price though, so tempted to bite haha but can't as I have a op3 as well so really don't need it.

Depends, what are you expecting to do on the s8 that needs such high specs? The camera is better but the £400 difference could buy you a dSLR which is different league. Screen is obviously better, probably better than any TV, phone or laptop out there, but do you really care if hotukdeals website is in 4k? Are you going to be watching all your 4k HDR films on a phone?

should I get this or a Xiaomi mi5s that I can get new for £214?

can anyone who already has this tell me if it comes with earphones? doesn't look like it on unboxing videos on youtube

It's listed under the Sim Free section of their website so yeah.

Just bought, I will have to sell my Honor 7 now

Yes its dual Sim, you can use the second slim slot for either a SD card or a second Sim.

using Huawei P9 which is almost the same, otherwise will go for it
Heat from me8)

Anyone know if this is instore? I have nectar points I never use so would love to put them towards this if so.

Very very tempting to upgrade from my Galaxy S5, but wanted something with a slightly larger screen and at least 2k (will occasionally be using it for VR).

Great phone though so hot, hot, hot.

I don't even need a phone but this deal is so tempting!!

Id like to know this too...

This

Its partly because Lenovo P2 has a mid range SD 625 processor, Honor 8's processor competes with SD 820.

My Redmi Note 4 lasted 3 weeks before the USB board fried, common fault, i'd personally avoid it myself.

I had a smart ultra 6 (which developed the phantom touch) then a nexus 5x (which I drowned) and then the honor 8. It is different class to the other phones, no ois but not a biggie imo, low light is miles better than the SU6.

The specs on gsmarena seem to suggest that the P2 does support LTE on 20/800.

Tempted by this to replace my Smart Ultra 6 but the bigger screen and battery on the P2 is giving me pause for thought as is the Kirin processor on the Huawei.

Very slippery back (good looks over common sense) and aggressive battery saver (which cancels open apps that you actually want leaving open) and I can see this getting frustrating to own very quickly.

Other than that, decent camera, impressive processor and above average battery. £40 lower and I'd bite, but if the Nougat update has fixed the syncing problem on the Lenovo P2, I'd go for that over this, I think. But only just!

Dual SIM? Any codes for discount?

Lenovo P2 does support 4G band 20.

thanks, just ordered. mainly for camera upgrade, otherwise my 2 year old huawei p8 is working like brand new...great value phones!

Just sent honor 8 for a repair through nationwide insurance with shattered screen, cracked easily.

Bought another one. :smile:

Have ordered this to tide me over until the Samsung S8 drops in price a bit. Anyone know if the headphones that come with it are any good?

​ How do you feel about the Honor 8’s camera? Is it enough to make you go out and purchase the Honor 8? 

This or Moto g5 plus?

P2 doesn't support 4G on Band 20, which some operators use. I'd go with this.

Same as me... The smart is pants. I think this will be miles better...

Oh and it's more than half the price of the Samsung!!

No, but almost. It is a great camera, however in poor lighting conditions S7 should be noticeably better.

I'd have gone for this if I'd not bought an Honor 8 Pro this week

Will Honor be Honored?

Whats the camera like on this? I've got a Smart Ultra 6 and the camera is shyte so I'm looking for a phone with a decent camera.
Does it keep up with the likes of the Samsung flagship phones?

Ordered , thanks op.

Any suggestions on where to get a tempered glass protector for this /

Thanks

was about to go to three to buy a P2 today, but I just took a gamble on this one, mainly as everyone on here was going ape about it :grin: does look nice

I'd say similar quality-wise and when it comes to main features. Depends if you prefer a small or a big phone and android or iOS system.

any codes?

Ordered and went through fine,thanks very much for comments and to op for posting :wink:

Have this phone for 6 months now, since i switched from an iPhone 5S and I am extremely happy with it. And I am very picky with my tech. :smile: Very fast, looks pretty + more special than most phones (blue looks cool and the rear multi-layer glass has an interesting light-reflecting effect which is hard to describe :P ), well built, good battery life, sharp and vibrant screen, great camera and a nice operating system. It's a steal for this price.

​top end with a 1080p screen . yh sure

Yes

It takes sd,?

I want to get this for the missus as I have one on vodafone and its awesome!. Any idea if this will work on the Tesco network backed by O2 with 4g?

£320 on official store and sold out

Shame it's not the 64gb version.

Can I get Nectar points?

Advantages of Redmi:

Battery
Software support over lifetime and aftermarket support
Cheaper (Obviously)

Advantages of Honor:

WAY more powerful
WAY better cameras
NFC
UK support for any issues
I suppose, a more eye catching look?

Both are great choices

This phone is outclassed by the Lenovo P2. However, it's a good choice if you want a good camera.

Sounds like a Chinese spesh. Is it from some crap hole like gearbest or banggood? If so, this any day of the week.

Ordered ty

This has a premium feel - it's made of layers of glass. P2 has excellent battery life, slightly bigger and being amoled possibly a nicer display. This has a faster processor if you're in to benchmarks, real world I doubt youd see much difference. Also has an ir blaster, if that's any use.

Battery life on this is decent, will get through a days use but you will be charging it every night, does have fast charge though and usb C so give it 30 mins charge and you're good to go, don't know if P2 has same

this is top end

Dual SIM?

oh my, get this 1000% amazing phone

Ordered. Thanks op. Perfect upgrade for my honor 7!

This or Redmi Note 4 (4GB RAM with 64GB) at 147 GBP?

Waiting to hear the response to this... In a similar boat!

The camera on the Honor 8 is very good with excellent manual features.

okay finally went through on my debit card, thanks OP.

Is this a good alternative to an s8? Wanted to get s8 but this looks pretty good for fraction of the price

Wow! You won't find a better phone for under £200, love mine. Who needs an iPhone 9 or Samsung edge s8+ galaxy note pro when you can get this amount of phone for 1/4 the price.

one question, is it likely this phone will be this price again anytime this year?

Thanks... I'm only worried about camera which very good on G Flex 2

Is it better than an iPhone se

Yes. Gave my dad my old G Flex 2 when I upgraded to this.

Crazy good price, considering it's over £120 to just replace a cracked screen from the UK service centre.

2 credit 1 debit

Hot from me. Reportably a good phone.

Is it worth upgrade from LG G Flex 2 ?

Same here were they debit or credit cards ?

Thanks ordered

Incredible deal, unbeatable for the money

ive tried three cards and they all keep declining?

Carnt seem to pay with any of my credit cards? Anyone else having this problem

Are the phones from Sainsbury's Phoneshop unlocked?

Was just about to get the Lenovo p2 for the same price but unsure now,any advice on which to go for please?

HOT!

This will go very hot
