£100 approx for an Android. Which one?

I have been looking at 2 recently

Samsung J5
Huawei P8 Lite

These can be had for almost the same price. Not sure which would be the best in real day usage. It must have a decent camera. Looking on Youtube its swings and roundabouts as to which gets the thumbs up!

I ruled out the Moto G 3rd because of price. And i ruled out the Vodafone SU6 because of its big size.

Any help would be great guys. Ta

Go for the J5.

Yea, heading that way me thinks

8gb is fine as i dont game on a mobile anyway.

I have read lots of reviews of both and the P8 Lite doesn't have a very good battery apparently for one. I believe the camera on the J5 is much better too which is a must for me.

1.5gb of ram is fine after looking at benchmarks.

I had the Huawei P8 Lite and returned it as the EMUI crippled it. I came from a smart ultra 6 and that was superior in every single way.

Why did you want to change from the SU6?

Redmi 3

Better CPU, more RAM, much better battery life than J5.

And comes direct from China? Warranty could be an issue? Import tax?

Get it from honorbuy Europe. Comes from Europe. Not sure who the warranty is with though. Fire them off an email.

Thanks

The J5 is superb for the money if you can handle the 8gb storage till marshmallow released .Battery life is amazing if I use a black background .I have had 7 and even 8 hours screen in time which is insane for a budget phone .Have owned all the flagship phones and another area where this phone is superb is the audio output.The volume and clarity when plugged into my hifi is brilliant .

What is the camera like?

Many thanks for your input. Cheers
