Picked mine up on Saturday - charged to 96% and not been plugged back in since

Few bugs in the software but hopefully they can be ironed out - love the Lenovo UI as it looks fairly like stock. Performance is snappy and camera is on par with the OP3 i'd say

But the party piece is the battery - charges from 0-100 in about 2 hours and I'm optimistic about 10 hour SOT times That's not just on WiFi watching netflix but real-time usage travelling etc.

If it had an SD820/821 it would be a beast of a phone

Oh and did I mention..

Looks a great phone and the battery is particularly interesting, however can you uninstall Lenovo's ridiculous amount of bloatware?

 

[Teledude]

Bloat is minimal, and yes all uninstalls fine

uploading pictures

screen capture tool

Can't imagine using any other phone now .Makes you realise how pathetic battery life has been on smartphones .I even charged my wife's iPhone using the supplied cable lol

Shame about the battery - last phone was a Pixel XL and I honestly think I prefer this

My normal use would kill the Pixel before 10pm

Well QC3 makes it not much of an issue, when I hammer the phone playing Summoners War, I still get around 6 hours out of it with constant screen on time.

Normal usage gets me around 2 days.

I'd rather have the SD820, 128GB ROM and 6GB RAM, amazing value for the £320 it cost me!

 

[Teledude]

SOT isn't the best measurement in the world tbh but we all use it

All I know is my Pixel XL is getting smoked in the battery stakes by this thing

Taken off charge Saturday at about 6pm.
Traveled across London on the tube for a few hours - in and out of blackspots and dodgy tube wifi.
Sunday used heavily for photos and general use.
Today traveled to work via the tube again with plenty of general usage.
WiFi / 4G/ BT / GPS and NFC all on constantly. Android pay used extensively.
And yes facebook is installed too

Still going strong with no charge in it yet....

Just a shame it's so damn ugly

Battery looks epic though ! And so it should be at 5100mah

Wow that looks good value. I think this will be my next phone. Battery life if pretty much top of my list of requirements.

 

[Teledude]

2 days of heavy usage and still going. Impossible on any other phone. Love it. And my Bluetooth audio doesn't stutter now!

Hmm tempted...my S4 is eating through my battery in a half day basis ... the one they offer 32GB comes with 3GB of RAM? as not stated anwhere on their site...

 

[Teledude]

32gb and 4gb ram with micro SD slot.

32gb and 4gb ram with micro SD slot.

Is this confirmed? The display model was the 3gb version when I went in. Also, is it true that Three can't sell them in store? That's what I was told. Not that it's much of an issue

Can anyone recommend a good case?

I'm trying to pick between the P2 and the ZTE Axon 7 mini, if the ZTE had better battery I think I would go for it.

 

[Teledude]

Mine has 4gb and had no problem buying it in store on PAYG
