Bargain. Was looking out for this one a few months ago but was put off by the high price.

Cheers. I've ordered one but seems to be taking an age to arrive. Usually these things have been instant when I've tried in the past. Hmmm

Hi mate can you let us know if you have any luck with this? Planning to take the phone abroad so its useless if I can't unlock it. Cheers

It's a great phone, I'm really happy with it.

how much storage was left after the OS Android updates? The 16gb is putting me off a little bit, however everything else seems great. (I know you can use a SD card, but a lot of apps don't let u transfer data to it)

To be honest I don't know. I have gone pretty app-happy (with some meaty ones like Hearthstone and Spotify) and I still have 3.3gb remaining. Apparently there is 1.6gb which can be cleaned up too.
YMMV, of course.

Did you get it within a reasonable time and did it work? Following your post I used the same ebay seller but over 24 hours now and not received any response at all.

It took about 36 hours. Worked great. Thanks.

Personally I'd rather get a SIM free Moto G5 with it's 1080p screen and stock Android for £10 cheaper but this does have NFC and a compass which some people will want.

Moto G5 has a compass as well. The stock Android and removable battery of the Moto G5 would make it my choice as well

None of the UK variants of the Moto G5 have a compass (including G5 plus, G5S and G5S plus).

Apart from the OLED screen, I really don't see the appeal here. There are better phones with 3GB Ram for this £.

Which ones? Just wondering. From the UK too.

31 Aug 17#15
From the phones currently available around this price (and intended for sale in the UK), I found the Vodafone Smart V8 to be the best of the bunch. Great screen, surprisingly great camera, Snapdragon 435 (an improvement over the G5 and G5S), 32GB, and 3GB RAM. Cheap to unlock too.

Have you got the v8? Be interested to know what the camera is like. Have the smart ultra 6 and the only thing that let's it down is the camera particularly in low light. Would like something nearer the performance of the s7
chancooluk to happpychappy

You won't find S7 performance on any new phone at this price point. It's a lot to ask for £160. Even the £220 Moto G5 Plus, which uses the same sensor as the S7, produces significantly inferior photos.
The camera on the V8 is not amazing in low light, but the camera quality is still a massive as step up from the Ultra 6.

P8 Lite 2017, Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus, second hand Galaxy S6 to name a few.
