Great the p2 supports miracast or direct wifi for sure this has ticked the most important box for me.

Seems you've been very unlucky!

Anyone know if it's possible to choose either SIM whilst texting to send from? Rather than having to enter settings... Or if there's a mod for it.

Yep If you got both sims online you can chose which number you want to send the text with no need for a mod.

I just bought a p2 for 240 quid hope it supports miracast or wireless display.

Got my p2 phone today, so far the battery seems strong after using it for over 1 hour.

What kind of sim ejector did you guys use? mine came with no sim ejector had to order this > https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01G6NWOBC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Came with a 2pin plug so i will have to use this > https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LXPPK25/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So far plug and sim ejector apart from that i am happy came all the way from spain.

I think the camera too my eyes is acceptable.

I bought the phone from here > http://www.csmobiles.com/epages/783...Ne2olZvGY8NFRJQQmARISQ8fsLyu8bq-RgaAlLZ8P8HAQ

Apart from unknown reputation(csmobiles), they have delivered my phone to me which supports english and is all in english but came as a 2 pin plug and no sim ejector, all in all not bad.

Took about 8 days to get here.

You see here below thats the journey it took for my mobile phone (p2) to get here, order is from csmobiles.

The end of a paperclip usually does the trick to eject Sims

lltfdaniel · 7 Jul 2017 at 18:49

Battery thus far.

On the straight from China sites the P2 is more than here, I suspect strong demand in Asia plus low price point strategy in UK are why lenovo don't care to get them sold via three!

The battery life is like a tank in my opinion.

compared with my moto g4 this retains it's charge rather well.

Biggest upside is the battery, the camera is acceptable, the performance well compared with my g4 plus it seems more smooth regarding video playback.

The double tap volume for instant (ish) snap photo makes up for shortcomings in the sensor.

Still I upgraded from a £45 lenovo A820.

lltfdaniel · 7 Jul 2017 at 19:02

Nice stewski.

lltfdaniel · 7 Jul 2017 at 19:32

Now it is 19:30pm now down to 71% after all that time watching nonstop youtube videos.

Compared to my previous post on battery this is looking good.

I am planning to buy P2
I have a couple of concerns ... would appreciate if you folks can help me out
Is the notification not appearing if screen is not on issue still there ?
Is the battery draining more after Nougat update ?

ddoubleep · 9 Jul 2017 at 10:58

Now that Three have stopped selling this online and no stores have stock what's a decent alternative for around a similar price point? Moto G5 Plus at £229?

Got my Mrs a Moto G5 plus for 229 after failing to source a p2.

She's very pleased with it so far.

ddoubleep · 9 Jul 2017 at 11:12

Cheers IvanDobskey. The battery and camera hold up OK? I can't find anything else in the price range so will most likely pick it up this week for £229.
