EDIT (9th July): Now £6 lower than when initially posted.
One of the lowest I've ever seen for this. Still sells for £549+ in the UK (at Three & CPW for example).
Use LGPP15 discount code (for £10 off £250+ orders) & choose the free 'Economy Express Shipping' option for this price (please view screenshot below). [if that code has expired, use NEWARRIVAL for £8 off).
This is the phone that finally ended my Nexus obsession. Had every Nexus in the series and updated to this from my 6P. This is a better phone in every way. 95% of the Pixel for 50% of the price. Dual camera is ace and the battery life is unbelievable.

Thanks, but another FarEast-based seller with worse reviews than EGC - goods not even turning up seems to be the main issue.

I have this phone, the 6gb, 128gb version. Bought from Gumtree (chap got it from his folks in China), I then converted it to international ROM on xda developers. The battery life is absolutely astounding it lasts me all day all night and then some. It's really, really good. It's lightning fast, snappy, the camera is excellent with a ton of features but not as good at the S8 or S7 in some cases. The video isn't as good as the S8, and if you use 1080p or 4k it records in a format YouTube will not process (it's basically an advanced format). The UI is superb, really like it. If it ever came to replacing the battery it's easily done if you want with some skill and ability. The screen is superb. I bought this and ditched my S7 edge. Being lower res means better battery life. Being 1080p really isn't such a drastic step down. If you're unsure, walk into a Three store and test it for yourself. They have the phone on PAYG. The screen is brilliant!

Fair comment on the 1080p. I am suffering from top tech syndrome where I eschew anything falling sort of what is now available, like 1080p on a <6"screen when 2k and above are now here . I will do as you suggest and have a look in the 3 shop. Can't see me attaching a VR to my head!

Thanks but I think Oneplus 5 is better considering the price is around 370 now

Dont see £370 from a quick Google?

It would be a tight match between this and the OnePlus 5 for me as prefer the larger screen and smaller bezels on this phone, but will prob not bother as they both prob miss the manufacturers warranty?

I'd still rather have this. Better camera for one. Nice smooth, no jelly screen.

Must admit I did not have to send my last 3 phones back (HTC HD2, Galaxy S3 and still have the Galaxy S5 a land all over 3 years old), but there is always a first and then you are USCWAP.

XL would be more comparable for screen size.

Awesome phone but don't buy it from eGlobalCentral as no warranty support. Check out reviews of them!

Got a superb screen to body ratio so not much bigger than many 5.5 inch phones; in fact the iPhone 7 plus (5.5 screen) is actually bigger!

Would you prefer it if it was made by Polaroid?? You know, like the TV's you previously stated are better than mainstream TVs??

Pixel is £499 at currys at present yes £140 ish more but trusted UK retailer and cracking safe updated phone.
mmmm, nexus 6 due for an upgrade. Looks like one apart from the screen. Wait for sub £300 maybe

Very tempting as have been looking at this phone with the only downside the HD display (wanted at least a 2k display on a screen this size and also will be using it occasionally for VR).
Like the LG G6 deal though I prob won't bite due to the seller.
