Great phonefor the money, especially if you don't want to risk importing something of similar spec from abroad.

I've got the p9 lite version...highly recommended these phones

Does it support Dual sim?

Great phones, had tried p8, p8 lite, p9 lite, currently on p9...My next phone is definitely a Huawei. Hot!

How do you get for 199? Showing 299

nearly bought this the other week at £250, glad i didn't!!! :-)

Do not forget to claim £10 cashback through TCB!

This or Honor 8?

is this better than Moto G5 which was available from Tesco Direct for £125.

Thanks. Ordered.

Broke my LG G5 last week and i was looking for Moto G5 / G5S Plus to replace it with a mid range phone but at this price i think P10 Lite is better.

Can you explain how to get 199 please?
Still show me 299

Seems to tick most boxes, including the safer micro-usb.

Great price,cpw pricing seems a little erratic at late, some of the prices do not match the description, although in final checkout true price is displayed, i received the blue P10 plus last week from them and it is now showing as £150 more expensive,if you are on the fence regarding the P10 lite just buy it, you will not find lower for sim free, also £10 TCB and official flip view cases ( highly recommend) can be had from £9.58 on amazon.

Been looking at this phone for a while now and this is an excellent price, the only thing holding me back is that I don't think it has gorilla glass, however I can't find out what protection it does have if any? Does anyone know? It also has a glass back .

About Huawei fast charge...
Am I doing something wrong. I recently bought the P8 Lite 2017 (love it) from Carphone Warehouse, and it's supposed to have fast charging. Now, from almost empty to full, it takes about 2.5 hours, is this classed as fast?
Because my Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 would go from empty to full in a little under 1.5 hours.
To me, that's fast. Or have I just been spoilt with that charge speed? I'm tempted to use the SU6's charger and see if it chargers the P8 quicker :unamused:

It does not have gorilla glass. I would definitely recommend to buy a screen protector and a case because with the metal coating on the back it is a little bit slippery.

Does this have a snapdragon or kirin?

Kirin 658

Any knowledge/opinions on future android updates for this phone please?

Hmm this or Samsung Galaxy j5 2017 ? I'm currently more drawn to the Samsung as it looks nicer and is a well known brand unlike the Huawei

I use the AUKEY Quick Charger from Amazon much faster. The charger supplied with the Huawei p8 lite 2017 is very slow to charge its only a 1 Amp charger.

Ah, right'o. Thanks for that. So using a quicker plug won't cause any issues with the phone? I only ask, as I might just use the SU6 one I already have. Or the one you've pointed to. Cheers.

3% cashback if you pay using Amex. Check your Amex account and save the Carphone Warehouse reward before you purchase. May be account specific

the same here, they don't supply phones with quick chargers, just with normal 1A ones.
Had to buy it separately via ebay

I love my P9 lite and have been looking to get this just for the extra storage and quick charge. Just been and purchased this before they sold out. The SIM free version is £100 cheaper that the PAYG. Utter madness that. Thanks op. Heat given.

The J5 (2017) has a lower res screen, half the storage, half the ram & arguably the weaker SoC, but will most likely have better cameras & battery life. All for ~£25 more.

How does this compare to a Samsung S6?

Thanks perfect to bring wife into 21st century . Bought Hot!
Does anyone know if supplied charger is Quick Charge or buy separately?

I'd rate the S6 a lot higher - side-by-side specs comparison: gsmarena.com/com…849

Did a quick search & cheapest I can find new is £370 (can you do better?): amazon.co.uk/Sam…MNI

Official Huawei statement for P10 lite is 43% charge after 30 minutes and full charge after 97 minutes. I can confirm the 30 minute charge, but full charge needs more time on my side.

Thanks. I currently have the S6 but as it's 2 years old I wondered if this would be a good upgrade. Obviously not.

I'd say this (the P10 Lite) would be a downgrade unfortunately.

Not sure if that was a joke or not, but 1 in 20 phones is a Huawei. Not as popular as a Samsung (1 in 5) but as the 3rd largest phone manufacturer I think it's well known enough.

Thanks, heat added, ordered for the wife's birthday. Was unsure whether to hold out and wait until the Honor 8 goes on offer again. Hope I've made the right decision and that this will last here a couple of years at least

Think your looking at Pay as you go which is £299. Sim free is £199

If you meant the £199 Sainsbury's deal, then you could be waiting for a long time! So, yes the right decision in the current circumstances I reckon :thumbsup:

Ordered from Carphone Warehouse website even though wanted a 5.5” phone….would appreciate if someone can confirm whether the phone is DUAL or single SIM once delivered please?

Check supplied charger, it should have 9V 2 A on it as well as sticker "Quick Charge". Otherwise it is a normal 5V charger like i said before you need to buy Quick Charger, best option is ebay if you are looking for original Huawei charger, i bought it for tenner from Hong Kong and it does the job perfectly...

I purchased this phone from CPW when it was £250 and is is dual sim and had a quick charger in the box (says quick charging on the screen when using it).

I think it is a great phone, the only slight annoyance is not being able to get a screen protector that covers the whole screen due to the curved edges.

Look at this charger on eBay ebay.co.uk/itm…139

I have been using Android phones for years and my biggest gripe is the micro usb cables as they get faulty pretty quicky even high quality ones.
The USB-C on my P9 is brilliant and I have yet to replace the cable even after 10 months of every day use.
Its also reversible like the Apple Lightning chargers.

This offer seems to be only single SIM.

Sons Hauwei Mate s is not holding battery charge so using warranty to buy a new phone. This or the Xaiomi Mi5 ? Any gudnace gratefully accepted.

I have never ever had a faulty one but a faulty USB C is a whole new ball game.
They tend to destroy rather than simply not work.

The Samsung is £160 though.

I'm not into phones too much,when I need a new one I just generally gone straight to Samsung and not bother looking at any other make - until now.

How does this compare to my LG G4? I'd buy this however the camera is putting me off

Where from please? EGC?

Sometimes the charger output is the limiting factor. What's the output of the one you're using? It's usually written on the charger itself, you should compare the output on both of them.

Ordered one for my son's birthday.

Thanks Seanetta.

What a shame the battery is only 3000 mah. It would be a cracking phone with a decent battery

Yes, that depends on chargers. What you got in the box is a normal charger (5V1A). Fast chargers are like 5V2A or 9V2A. The bigger number you see the quicker charging time you will get. But honestly Huawei is a 'tricky' vendor, their method works only with genuine Huawei quick chargers.

Quality handset

No other if you want to run an external DAC for hi Res music. You can get it via root. Also check if it supports 5 MHz WiFi as the p9 lite doesn't.

Cold, it’s not over £1k!

CPW might be doing in house overclocking

I charge my p9 lite on airplane mode halves the charge time ! Try it :wink:

Thanks op took the plunge and ordered one of these to replace my p9 lite nothing wrong with the p9 lite so I will sell it just like the newer one more :raised_hand:

only charger with 9V output is considered as "quick charge /fast charge technology" supported, they also support normal 5V charging. Chargers with 5V 2A output do not support fast charging

this or honor 6x? :thinking:

Tempted. Been holding out hoping the LG G6 will come down in price to under £400. Don't fancy chancing Eglobal.

OnePlus 5 looks nice, but too dear.

Had the LG G5 and loved it but it had a slight screen issue, took it back to Argos who un-be knowing to me palmed me off with a G5 SE (they stopped doing the G5 and started stocking the SE at same price!) When I realized I took it back for a full refund. Currently using a Moto G4, which isn't too bad. Think I've had the Moto G4 ghosting issue a couple of times, when the screen flickers for a bit, then eventually stops, if that's it?

This is Nano Sim only so I presume Giff Gaff would send me a replacement Sim?

Decisions, decisions!

Any good cases?

Order a new free sim from GiffGaff now. Then, if you decide to go for this, you can activate the new SIM to your existing account (which will deactivate your old SIM). Easy peasy.

There is no catch to that,it's just a port who cares??

P10 Lite is better overall. The 6X has a disadvantage of coming with no screen oleophobic coating,has less ram and failed the bend test snapping in two in a video

How does one pronounce Huawei ? Where's Brian Blessed ?

Weewee

why wey

Me too can't fault it, but ordered this deal as I think it's a cracking phone for the money heat from me

My honor 8 has 32gb.

Me too. I just wanted to feel smug compared to this deal.

Absolute bargain. Does make you wonder why people spend £800 on a Samsung s9+ galaxy note lol edition.

Once you go usb C, it's hard to go back.

People who have to support multiple phones and don't want to need two different cables everywhere....

Honor 9 for me
128GB 6GB ram
£373

Tempted! I have samsung s6. Is this worth the upgrade?

I've skipped between both it's no big deal to many people

Wah way
But don't take my word for it

Hhmmm...this or wait for another £22.99 S7 contract to come up...

Gone for one, £10 tcb plus 3% Amex cashback bonus.

If 5.5 screen , I would've bought

Just got email saying my order has been cancelled. Anyone else?

I got a P9, cost about £400 last year and I was not that impressed. It was laggy, the screen was small, Huawei were slow with software updates, the dual camera was nowt special. I got a moto z, for £299 at JL it was so much better. The good thing is this phone looks like it works on EE 4g and wifi calling on none EE shop devices.

very Well introduced! But actually surprise or not Huawei now is the second largest phone manufacturer. Recently passed Apple.

Will probably flip back with the iPhone 8 being available soon, and the X. (For people with more money than sense - or very generous employers)

Whats the battery life for a S6 like? ... the P10 Lite has a 300mAh compared to 2550mAh for the S6

I placed the order earlier and mine was dispatched around 1PM.

Hot, bit like my lg g flex. So I am ordering this

Ordered at 8:59 so hopefully with me tomorrow Thanks OP

Thanks OP

3% off for amex card holder

Great phone

Thanks, ordered with tcb.

I am really tempted. I bought for the wife a moto g5s plus and I am disappointed with the slow camera and lack of compass. I was leaning towards oneplus 5 but too much money and no image stabilization. I need a good phone (don't care about portrait or bokeh effects), speedy sharp camera in low light (have little kids that move too fast). Thoughts?

From what i can tell you is on the previous P9 Lite Huawei used Aluminosilicate Glass which is toughened glass same as Gorilla Glass. So I'm guessing maybe same on P10 Lite. I found this info out via sending an email to Huawei. Apple used it on the iPhone 4

Trust me, Huawei have made better handsets since the P9. The new EMUI is so much better now too. From my experience Huawei now make some of the best cameras and you can see that on many highly rated reviews too like Pocketnow etc. The Honor 8 and 9 and also P10 Plus

Love my p9 plus (very similar spec to this one) very hot deal, no need to spend thousands on iPhones... This is a great phone.

The back of this is also glass not metal

That's great to know thanks for this. I wonder if it's the same glass on the back as well? Do you have the p10 lite and if so how are you finding it?

if only this had 5000mAh- i will be all over this!!
I have the lite p8 2017 - excellent handset

Got my confirmation mine has been dispatched to my chosen store for collecting tomorrow

My box says its was-lx1a which indicates its a DUAL SIM as already mentioned by dws19920th.

Would appreciate if someone can confirm (those who has ordered the phone from the website and already opened it). Best way is to check if it has TWO unique IMEI numbers (dial #06# - it could be that they disabled in the software).

Also, does it have a factory screen protector already installed?

Thanks

Still waiting for mine to arrive - however, in the unboxing videos/reviews I've seen, there is a screen protector in the box, but has to be applied by the user. The phone comes supplied with a specification film (like Samsung/Motorola etc do)

Mine was supposed to come today. Got an email from dpd and text from cpw this morning, as follows.
Your delivery has been delayed until Mon 25th Sep due to a traffic incident!!

My phone was dispatched on the same day for store collection but did not receive any text or email to confirm that it has been delivered so went to the store (30 sec from my office) to see if it has arrived and it was delivered yesterday!

I got an e-mail and text saying mine will be delivered to the store between 2:20 and 3:20 this afternoon - typically, it's the same price in-store. (But no TCB that way)

I got mine today and the screen protector has been applied nice and clean no bubbles and it's a single sim.

Same here - guess the unboxing I saw was for one of the other models.

That'll be my job for the evening, getting stuff moved over from my old phone. :grin:

Damm....lol...I am assuming your box says was-lx1a and with one IMEI like mine? Same when you Dial *#06#?

Googling indicates its a DUAL SIM....If anyone root the device, it would be nice if they can access OEMinfo Partition and see if there is a 2nd IMEI by any chance? Then potentially can be flashed with DUAL SIM firmware. Otherwise, no point of converting as it will have same IMEI for both SIMS.

What's your model number please? Also, would be good if you can provide details of your firmware, thanks

Mine was delivered today to my chosen store , I went to pick it up but cpw chip and pin machines are not working

I had the same issue in Dundee - however, the sales guy managed to bypass the process for me somehow.

Picked mine up now ..cpw machines all working again , virtually the same dimensions as my p9 lite only a slight difference in button positions means my old case won't fit , screen protector is factory fitted I can confirm it is the single sim was_ LX1A model and comes with a huawei fast charger in the box ...very happy with my purchase

Received mine on Friday and it is a single sim version.

Good phone for day to day use. I only miss my LG G5 when i press the finger print sensor to switch off the screen.

Don't understand how Huawei defines the the term fast charging as it took over 90 minutes to go from 0 to 93% with phone completely switched off till 70% charge. I was using the provided 2A charger. My LG G2, G3 and G5 all with same size batteries used to take 60-70 minutes with phone switched on.

I hope there there is no harm in plugging this phone into a quick charge 3 charger.?

Any suggestion for a protector case for P10 lite?

Depends what you're looking for - I swear by the Nillkin range, particularly the nature version, which only covers the back of the phone. Had a couple of them for my Honor 7, and got one for this as well.

Now, if anyone has recommendations for a screen protector? I like glass ones, but am put off by the lack of full screen coverage because of the curved edges.

There was an update out the box too

Oh bummer that sucks

It's £299 on pay as you go and £199 sim free,bit weird but hey ho

Awesome deal bud, voted hot :thumbsup:

So the mirror covered this story and stated this phone has up to 6gb ram and a lecia camera.... Pretty sure that's incorrect?

That would be the standard p10 spec rather than the lite.

Ordered for my mum. A big improvement from her really old Moto G (the original model!). £10 quidco too, cheers OP.

Hi, has this deal expired? or am I just incompetent! as I can't seem to get the price below £299. tx in advance for any help.

Make sure you go to sim free it's £199 there

Mine didn't have an update out of the box - guess it depends how long it's been sitting on the CPW shelves.

I got mine. It looks good

Well,depends which software you have,mine ends with B79 on the build number with July security patch

I know how it works. Having had a Huawei (Honor) phone for the past two years, I know how good/bad they are for updates. :grin:

Mine is B179 which I assume is the current - need to dig into XDA to confirm that though.

How does the camera compare to the honor 7

I'm not a person who takes many photos - it's not quite as good. But that's not unexpected. It's a lower pixel count, on a mid-range compared to a 2 year old flagship. However, for what I'm likely to do, it should be fine.

This or wileyfox 2X?

Anyone else still waiting for dispatch? Ordered to collect a week ago, still no update on delivery.

Has the deal expired. Showing up as £299.99

Definitely NOT the Wileyfox

Nope it hasn't your probably looking at Pay as you go which is £299. Sim free is £199

I decided to purchase one of these again and have regretted it. Everything was working fine but for some unknown reason the settings menu often takes ages to open. I've reset it and cleared cache partition, formatted memory card and had an exchange but to no avail. Often the settings menu can take 15 seconds to open and I've no idea why. Returned

Thanks. I was looking at the PAYG

Hi. Just got this phone and am very happy with it so far. Thanks OP.

The only problem I have is just how slippery/slidey it is! When I pit it down on a lot of surfaces it seems to have a mind of it's own and start to move-sometimes even several minutes after I've put it down.....

Can anyone recommend a good, unobtrusive(not anything that will greatly increase the size of the phone please) back cover for this phone?

Would be really grateful for any input.

Cheers

amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1

I got this one nice quality and different colours available

Excellent, many thanks for that AND the OP. I wonder if you could possibly confirm that you think it might help with reducing the "slippiness" issue that I have encountered? Many thanks again.

Is this better than the Moto Z phone?

No not possible without a case that's just the nature of glass backed phones they are all the same. Either that or have sweaty hands

Deffo this 1.

You're wrong.

Looking for a new phone to replace a Nexus 5X. Would the P10 lite be an upgrade or downgrade on the 5X?

I've seen nothing to suggest that collecting from the store invalidates TCB cashback. Where are you getting that information from?

I got this case and it fits the phone perfectly and looks nice too

Spigen

Actually, its the first and the last images of the cover that is accurate. The middle images are incorrect. I cross checked with Spigen site when I ordered and received whats on 1st and last image.

You're mis-reading my comment - I was saying that if you purchased it in-store you wouldn't get TCB. I did the collect (not purchase) in-store, and TCB is showing up as confirmed.

I agree - Honor 8 is a year old flagship. The P10 Lite is slightly better in most ways than the Honor 7, but nowhere near the specs of the Honor 8. The only real advantage would be possibly longer term support from Huawei. (They have a stated 2 year updates plan for most phones)

I replaced an Honor 7 with this, and have to say I'm delighted. Everything seems at good as the Honor 7 was except possibly the camera, but as I don't really use the camera much, I can live with that.

Seems like a daft question, but have you actually tested the dual sim / does it mention it on the packaging? Just been in store at CW and they say 'this is impossible...' and asked the questions above. Would love it to be dual sim and thanks in advance.

I'm looking to replace Note3 and Note4, does anyone know how this compare performance wise?

This deal is only for the single sim version. That is one of the reasons why it is cheaper than the 250£ offer during which I bought mine. I have a dual sim which works perfectly well.
