Anyone thinking of purchasing this?

I had the Ascend Mate 7 but returned it as it was too big. Everything else was very impressive. The P8 looks more manageable.

It will be interesting to see how well it reviews, as on paper it looks good.

Seen one or two You Tube videos of first looks and unboxings, I'm quite tempted to give it a try although I did get my fingers burnt (almost quite literally) by the P6. Any idea of UK pricing yet?

How?

A touch of hyperbole maybe but the Huawei P6 had a reputation for getting hot, very hot in some cases, I'm guessing the ultra slim profile and aluminium back made this more noticeable.

It'll be interesting to see how the RGBW sensor performs

Managed to get this on the ID Network on a contract for an annual cost of £268 with the 12 months service. Just picked it up and having a play now, could do a mini review in the next week if anyone is interested.

Looks great a lot of my friends and family have Huawei phones and untill last week my spare was a y550, at £45 an absolute bargain of a phone, buuuut at €500 are people really gona buy one rather than a same price s6, I paid £435 for mine or much cheaper for a sony z3?

Just got an awesome deal on one of these for my dad, £9.50 a month 300 mins, 5,000 texts and 500mb data. I'll let you know what it's like.

ID via CPW, taken it away now though

On the plus side it's a great phone, nice alternative to the top end models for much less £££

looks very nice, top quality build, very nice camera, very good display and relatively small in size given the 5.2 inch screen. I had a play with one and it left me with good impressions, i hope it will get cheaper the next months

I ultimately returned mine as I had bad signal with iD/Three. It's a great device but rather let down by the GPU which my Note 3 spanked all over the place and overall felt touch more sluggish compared to Note as well. It did slap the Samsung all over the place with the camera in lower light although I did find the white balance way too cold on it and on certain overcast days it produced slightly odd images.

Some pics of the phone itself:

It's a really nice piece of kit, I will definitely consider less known brands like this when
I'm due for an upgrade.

Was all set to get this, but I can only get Vodafone signal where I work. £25 a month is a bit much for it I feel.

My back up was the lg g3 but I hear mixed battery reports.

its a bit expensive for a so called budget phone though? £300 or round abouts

they do make good phones though,i bet the battery life is fantastic
