Is this currant technology?

No, but that's only a minor grape.... ;-)

sounds like a good raisin to buy one

I'm on EE sim only can I just buy this and use my currant sim with it?

Heat of can be easily unlocked (we hold a right carry on!)

sounds like a good raisin to buy one

I will be network locked to we though so you'll have to use an we SIM into its unlocked

They have an EE Sim already and so should not be a problem to use that here as its EE deal.

16Gb the only major downside. Microsd card slot there but most apps like to use
that 16GB memory first.

Great deal for a good budget handset

This Vs the honor 6x?

Is this currant technology?

Anyone any idea how much a 2 year old P8 (not lite) in perfect condition (been in a case all its life) will sell for?

16gb two years ago was fine but now I would stay well clear of any such handset. 32GB is bare minimum these days if you don't want constantly clear your phone storage.

Bought my P8 none lite over a year ago for £149, is this really a great price?

No, but that's only a minor grape.... ;-)

Genius cheeky

how can i unlock this ?

Disagree!
All depends what you use it for
Some users can get by with 8gb

If one uses it for phone calls/text only then there is no need for a smartphone. Otherwise 16gb is very tight use - gone are days when app creators looked at phone space requirements, everyone seems to assume you just have tons of free space.

If cpw will price match get it from them as it will already be unlocked to any network :wink:

Bought their flagship P8 when it was brought out and the stopped updates after 11 months. Will never but another Huawei again.

Aside from games, how much storage are your apps using?

Agreed app creators are probably happy to use more and more storage, but I really don't think 16gb is very tight.
I've got 16GB, a bunch of apps installed, and am using just over 5GB.
Granted, don't have any games installed.

I'm just looking at my apps now and their storage. Here'sa sample, converted to GB for easier comparison:
Amazon shopping 0.093 GB
Hangouts 0.06 GB
Google Maps 0.220 GB
Barclays 0.120 GB
BBC Weather 0.018 GB
Chrome 0.09 GB

That'll increase over time, but my point it, 16GB is enough storage for quite a few apps.

I think this is a fairly excellent deal for the price.

Not sure where you got the info from but i have just looked at google maps on my phone and it states 156 MB for Google maps, and 22 MB seems a little small for a map app, chrome also shows as 190 MB.

i've got 6gb free on my Moto g4 also 16gb storage

i dont have any games or the Facebook app which is massive - i just go through browser

i've got a fair banking apps, whatsapp the usual google ones - and spotify with lots of downloaded music

decent video review

0.22GB = ~220MB, so slight more than yours....might just be where I've got an offline map downloaded.

Your Chrome figure would probably plummet if you uninstalled and installed it again. Mines probably on 90MB because I've not had it installed long, and haven't built up loads of rubbish being cached, etc.

yeh why would they price match, have they been known to in the past?

This is ****. The p9 lite was this at its lowest before wahwey withdrew it. Looks like cex is my friend

They only price match contracts

2015 model.. eesh!!

Has anyone actually tried the gyroscope with Youtube VR 360 videos? Is the gyroscope working properly, smooth transtions, on both axes?

These comments are so funny I choked on my tea this morning laughing so much.

This is an Honor 4X rebranded with extra memory + newer OS. Still loving my 4x, Heat added

Pmsl. Gsmarena has all the facts.
Huawei are in the P10 already.
They upgrade the old model with a rubbish budget Chinese chipset. HiSilicon Kirin 655. I wont touch anything that does not use snapdragon.

This deal only online, went into store costs 200 quid had to order online.

I am confused in that they mix pay-monthly terms in a pay-as-you-go order, like that "we own the device for the first 6 months" statement in the first step of the order, which clearly refers to a pay-monthly contract.

Anyway, can you order this for store delivery and once you receive it there, get it unlocked on the spot? Has anyone done that, even with a different device under EE?

Thanks

That's a shame as Huawei's HiSilicon have beaten Qualcomm to market with recent ARM architecture cores, being a lead partner for ARM in many cases, and the performance and energy efficiency of recent Huawei SoCs has been excellent as can be seen in numerous articles at Anandtech.

I don't think you can get anything like as good as the Kirin 655 (2.1 GHz Cortex-A53 on 16nm FinFET+) for £130 from anywhere else.

My only beef with this phone is the OS support from Huawei, if I thought it would get Android O and timely updates I'd buy one for sure.

I agree on the support element I have a p9 lite because I broke the screen on my nexus 5x its still only running android marshmallow with a june 2016 patch , I really miss the security updates from nexus and now that I can get a 32 gb 5x for around £180 on ebay brand new open box I might just get another one if they don't upgrade this os soon ??

Yeah Huawei are building some great phones using their own silicon now, but software support is not good enough. It's a shame as on paper phones like this P8 Lite 2017 are much better than say a Moto G5 or Nokia 5.

Just to check i be using my current sim deal as i won't be using the payg sim do i need to cancel the payg sim, or not to use it as it won't be activated as it says to be renew every 30 days seems a bit confusing.

I spoke to EE about this yesterday as I am on a pay monthly contract. He went away to check if I could buy without the £10 sim, but you can't according to him. He (Jason) was very helpful. So I think you get a sim which you have 30 days to use after first activation, then you put your current sim in.

OK thanks I'm going to use my sim EE only contract just didn't want to be charged 10 pound a month having a payg sim that I didn't want, just seems confusing as it sounds like a contract to me.

I bought a P9 lite from EE a while ago. They said they have to get the unlock codes from Huawei so wouldn't be able to give it to you there and then.

My wife has one of these. Previous model but it's awesome! Personally I hate android but for the price this is a good little phone.

Does this come with a screen protector and clear gel case, like it does in the review videos?

Also, is there a way of not choosing a 'pack' and just paying the additional £10 credit as a voucher?

I'm on giffgaff, but my mum is on EE. Would be nice to give it her instead and get the phone unlocked.

Anyone? Please? :wink:

When i was in the EE store i was told the pack had to be included, and i ask about if there was a case and i was told there was no case included with the phone i don't know about the screen protector.

Thanks

You can choose "just top up" on the bottom of the page instead of a pack.

Now at Argos https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ee-huawei-p8-lite-2017-16gb3gb-ram-black-10999-plus-10-top-up-free-10-argos-voucher-ends-277-argos-2749651

My p9 lite has a factory fitted screen protector on it by all accounts if you remove it the screen is awful to the touch !! I clean it daily with flat screen spray from wilkos and a microfibre cloth . Hope that helps no case came with it but plenty on amazon

That's even better though checking the specs seem wrong is it the older model? The processor is wrong also the camera specs are not right.

I'm not seeing the "just top up" option darvee? Using a mobile, will check next time I'm at a PC/lappy.

Edit: Can see it now using a laptop :wink: cheers.

It's a berry good phone!

Ordered before this deal went hot. Email from EE saying it's out of stock, and they'll ship when back in stock, or offer a different phone.
Assume others are getting same emails?

I got a text message with a ref no. Rang freephone number 0800 9566042 and quoted ref. Nicky the CS rep said demand was high and they were applying "delivery triage" lol to deal with it. PM me if they offer you a superior phone cheeky

I'll assume if you've got a text, you've got one.
If you've got an email saying out of stock, you're stuffed.

Wtf! Just had text from ee shop asking me to phone 08009566042 to complete order. Phoned gave order number, then was told unfortunately you will have to go to EE store to purchase this phone! I said why she evaded the question just kept saying unable to complete order over phone! Wtf going on? I've ordered again online seems to have gone through okay same as first time! So will keep fingers crossed! Don't know why I've had this messing I've even got a contract Sim with EE and account!!!

After ordering again had email which asked me to phone EE, on the phone for over 10 minutes put on hold, had to get his supervisor to okay order, then eventually told it will be a week b4 I receive phone as oos. But I will receive texts when it's on its way from DPD courier. I said other EE person earlier cancelled order and asked me to go to EE store to buy it! He said he doesn't know why that happened!!!!

What a total joke EE can be! After being informed by first EE phone agent that they couldn't complete my order, she said go to EE store as all of EE stores have stock in Liverpool!!! How can someone in a call center give such a inaccurate statement! Lo and behold all three Liverpool city center stores oos! EE are P.I.T.A.

My order was cancelled. They were out of stock, bit still selling. I had to call their service number to find out. They weren't even going to refund me. Just leave my money in their account. Beware.

I'm boycotting them for this. I'll never be a customer of theirs. I'll also tell everyone who asks what I think of their terrible service. I hope they read comments from this site.

EE

not looking too good!

Ordered Wednesday teatime, no emails or texts received but appeared to go through okay, onscreen order number etc. Thursday was uneventful then mid morning today, Friday, an email appeared, 'call us to complete order' with an accompanying ref#. Phoned the freephone number EE provided and it answered straight away. I was told it was OOS and there would be a delay (next week sometime), and asked if that was okay and did I still wanted to go ahead, said yes and the order was processed.

I've just been on EE live chat after checking EE website stock for this p8 show's instock, but when I asked live chat agent Pearl she said if it's showing instock it is! And I would receive phone within two days if I ordered now! Then I gave her my existing oos order number and asked her why I've been told 7 days b4 dpd deliver? Had big long pause whilst Pearl had a look in her BS excuses notes! Then next she said I've escalated this to our webteam as it must be a glitch on website that's why it's showing instock! I asked her to answer me straight but like all politicians she answered questions with questions, wouldn't give me a yes or no. In end she just kept asking me to phone order team as she couldn't access my information!! Just utter BS NON STOP!!! I even told that she would make a great politician!!! What absolute joker's EE.

Just phoned EE to see what they had to say today , told em what live chat said or should I say didn't!!! EE Guy checked my order again and now telling me p8 is back in stock from today and I should receive my order via dpd on Monday!!! Swings and roundabouts!!!! Wtf!!!

Picked up two from EE Oxford Street Swansea at this price so definitely available in stores.

Got my text message from dpd be arriving Monday.

Page no longer showing
SORRY! WE COULDN'T FIND THAT PAGE ...

Same here, came back in stock quick confused

I never got the promised text message regarding dispatch, but instead a email from DPD confirming dispatch.

anyone got theirs unlocked for free from ee ???

Just had text message again from DPD be here by 15:00.

Been playing with the phone really nice and smooth, camera seems really good and the display is excellent the phone is quite light, the only issue I've seen is that the microsd card doesn't merge with the internal storage when downloading apps, need to look into that more also a screen protector is fitted.

Yeah I agree.

I'm an Honor 8 owner myself so am already accustomed to Huawei phones.

Bought two of these (one for mum, another for a mate) and you simply CANNOT get better build quality and performance from any other phone bought from a UK retailer at this price point.

The P8 Lite has great build quality, the fingerprint sensor is equally as lightning fast as the one found on my Honor 8, performance is fine, albeit not quite as quick as the Honor 8 but fast enough. Camera isn't quite as good as my Honor 8 but easily beats any other camera in a phone at this price point.

NFC is a great added bonus so Android Pay works perfectly in conjunction with the fingerprint scanner.

Huawei really are nailing the budget and mid range market right now.

DPD delivery slot text, arriving Monday between 14:00 -15:00.

Better look into a case/cover for it, something minimalist like the thin clear silicon cover that's on my Oneplus Onyx would do fine.

I got the Simpeak Premium Soft Protector Case excellent case only cost £5.50 from Amazon, quite a decent selection off cases on Amazon.

I paid for postage had great reviews, i look at Argos and EE store for cases but nothing available i would definitely recommend the case even if you have to pay a little extra for it.

Does anyone know if I open seal from p8 box but I decided to return for refund will EE accept opened box returns, if they do refund anyone know if EE will deduct a percentage from original purchase price? I think we have a 7 day return Window for online orders?

cannot find link?

Yeah EE have taken it down as it's out of stock! Argos maybe getting it back instock in August, so keep a lookout below

have seen that already, no stock and no new stock coming think its for 2015 model reading comments. but thanks anways.

Someone said Argos Twitter stated supposed to be more stock during August!

£114.99 + £10 top up if you are already on pay as you go and eligible to upgrade in EE Shop

Have you as actually checked if the phone is unlocked or not. I brought my mum the p9 lite phone last November from EE and found out that the phone was unlocked and accepted her BT sim.

Thank you will hopefully remember this.



Its free even though it says theres a charge, ive done it previously
