I have this phone..bought last year from EE, what a brilliant phone, battery lasts all day long, and is quick as anything !
Wondering if the p8 lite 2017 is better value - £150 from carfone warehouse. £30 more for a slightly better, newer phone, with no risk of customs fees, and far easier returns if there is a problem.

£10 Topcashback possibly from Carphone warehouse plus next day delivery means the difference becomes very little vs risk.

Very tempted by this as the Mrs phone has just died, just a bit worried about buying from these. Anybody got any experience of them regarding customs, warranty etc.

The p8 lite 2017 is definitely newer and better - though they are almost identical spec wise. The p8 had a slightly better CPU for example. Very little in it though.
The deciding factor for me is buying from a UK site, with next day delivery and easy customer service.
I have the Huawei P9. It worked great for a few months then began to slow down, now I have issues with Bluetooth not turning on, battery dies quickly etc. :-(

Regarding the Bluetooh issue you encounter it may be the same which happened to me (and others). During one of the official OTA upgrades to Nougat only half of the firmware was flashed and the part containing the bluetooh/NFC was not, hence both Bluetooth and NFC would not work at all. Also the phone model in the settings page would come up as something very odd. The solution was rolling back to the previous Android version (Marshmallow) and re-flashing the whole updated firmware (Nougat) again. Look for guides on the web. I could sort mine out. In spite of that, no regrets on having purchased this model. Great phone for what it costs (I paid £135 for mine locked to EE last year... but since it has been unlocked, debranded and 2nd SIM active).
The main factor for me over the p8s and the p9 lite is the faster cat speeds. The p9 lite has 2 LTE data radios and can do Lte-a 2ca the p8 is older tech and only does cat 4 1ca

Is this still a good deal if you have to pay customs and import duties since it comes from China? thanks.

The tutorial I used for resolving the BT issue was this one forum.xda-developers.com/hua…955
And the one to debrand and make dual-SIM was this one: forum.xda-developers.com/hua…873
