That's not really an acceptable option for my use-case. Luckily, I found the LG G5 is massively underpriced compared to its competitors and found a reconditioned one for £200 which seems great.

Lenovo P2, £199 SIM free from Three (plus £10 PAYG card).

The battery is not replaceable but lasts a couple of day. It's 5100ma and this is the killer reason to get the P2.
32gb plus an SD card slot.
Extremely good 5.5" screen which is a perfect size in my view.
Dual SIM (can't use dual SIM and SD car at the same time however, which is pretty standard for dual SIM phones).
The camera is the weak point on this phone though.
It's very fast.

Hmm, thanks - looks nice and I've enjoyed Lenovo phones before. However, the removeable battery is non-negotiable and the second SIM slot being the SD slot makes it completely useless. I think I'm getting a much better phone in my G5 tbh...

Ma I ask why the rigid rule of removable battery?
I used to think like that, but in reality, never really swapped the batteries over anyway!
Looks like you are a heavy user though so possibly an easy answer to that question

Because my use does not allow time/logistics of attaching a power bank. I need a full charge instantly.
I charged my P2 last night. I've used it quite heavily today for youtube, spotify, internet browsing and a few phone calls. It's still at 82%. A swapable battery used to be an essential for me too but with this battery I just don't care anymore. I could never go back to a phone with a smaller battery if it's not swapable. But with something this ridiculous it's just not needed. It even comes in the box with an adapter cable to allow you to use the phone as a charging bank to charge other devices. Nuts

There's no denying 5100 mAh is massive but, as mentioned, nowhere near big enough for me.

I dont think ive seen a removable battery over 5000mAh so good luck there !

I don't expect to find one. Hence needing something with removeables so I can have spares!
I really like my Redmi Note 2 but got annoyed that none of the roms support 4g on both sims and that mediatek wont release source.
Do the new models have this issue? I know they started to lock the bootloaders is this still the case? and the other thing I noticed they appeared to drop dual sim support plus msd so one of the slots acts as both

Anyone else excited about the Mi6?

snapdragon 835, 6gb ram, possibly iris scanner, decent camera sensor, good looking with good screen to bezel ratio, not too big (5.15 inch screen version) and might be under £300!

5.15" is a bit small for me and I would want to see some real world camera reviews as I've seen too many times things claiming that Chinese phones are going to have a good camera and in reality they are flawed ...
Is there anywhere in the UK that I can pick up a 32gb/3GB Redmi 3S with next day delivery?
Just been on a stag do and being the silly boy i am lost my phone but would really like a Redmi 3S again instead of something new. Dont fancy waiting several weeks for something from abroad!

I'd love a Chinese phone but VoLTE support is pretty much never going to occur and so band 20 on EE and Three will never work.
Mate has an Ulefone Power which he rates highly and there's a new version out now,the Power 2.
6050mah battery,has to be the biggest in any smart phone....unless you know better.
